"COREDO Muromachi 2" and "COREDO Muromachi 3" opened on March 20.

15 stores, "COREDO Muromachi" and "Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower", were reopened on the same day.

　　◆"COREDO Muromachi" and "COREDO Muromachi 2" are connected by a crossing corridor.

"COREDO Muromachi 2" and "COREDO Muromachi 3" were full of fun and delicious shops with all 68 stores.

There is a sense of unity in the Japanese atmosphere, and it is a very pleasant space.

In addition, "Sakura Festival" is being held in Nihonbashi.

The cherry blossoms are lit up to enjoy a night walk, the iconic large Japanese shop curtain where tradition is revived, and the cherry blossom bar where you can go around long-established stores and the latest shops are being held.

The cherry blossom light-up is very beautiful and memorable.

"Sakura Festival" will be held until April 6th.

I recommend it.

 

 

Sakamoto Elementary School and Yasuaki Elementary School, the first elementary school in Daiichi Junior High School District, also appear in the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", but was founded one month later than Sakamoto Elementary School Hisamatsu Elementary School, the second oldest in Chuo-ku, is not very well known (although it is actually a alma mater).

Hisamatsu Elementary School was founded in 1873, the same as Sakamoto Elementary School, so last year (2013) celebrated its 140th anniversary. It is an elementary school with a long history even when viewed nationwide.

The school name of Hisamatsu Elementary School was derived from the donation of Earl Hisamatsu, a descendant of Iyomatsuyama feudal lord, so the school name was named Hisamatsu.

 

There are many graduates who have been active in various fields.

In politics, Mr. Shojiro Kawashima, Vice-Chairman of the House of Lords, Hachisuka.

Kenji Ito, who has led the graphic design world for posters for Teijin and Canon.

Because it is close to Nihonbashi and Hamacho, entertainment related was also popular.

　Richo Tobaya (Kabuki Nagauta, important Intangible Cultural Property preservation), the fourth generation Edoya Nekohachi (voice)

　Obitari

A variety of people are active in each field.

 

The noteworthy point of Hisamatsu Elementary School is that since the Emperor Showa's Yukiyuki Kei at the 90th anniversary ceremony in 1963, he has been asking for the Imperial Family's revelation and success at the milestone of every 10 years. .

On the 100th anniversary, His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince and Princess (Emperor Heisei)

As mentioned above, elementary schools that can be celebrated by these royal families every 10 years of milestones are very valuable and very honorable.

 

Around 1963, when I graduated, there were about 160 students in the first grade, but now it seems that there are about 60 to 100 people. However, since the efforts to restore the nighttime population in Chuo-ku have come here, even if it is not as much as the Tsukishima and Harumi districts, apartments have increased in the area of Hisamatsu Elementary School, etc. It seems that the number will increase from about 30 graduates, and it seems that the number of school buildings is planned to increase.

 

There is light at Hisamatsu Elementary School, whose educational goal is "strong, correct and rich."

 

 

 

 

　At the Hamarikyu Garden, canola flower is now in full bloom.

　We took a walk in the park.

　The red and white plums are in full bloom when you enter from the large entrance.

　

　And further down, despite the heavy snow, canola flower was in full bloom.

　If you look into many Hanabusa, the petals are hurt by snow. Stroll along the path. The hotels in Shiodome are shining in the sun.

I extended my feet to "Ochinyama" (Ochinyama). It's still a winter atmosphere.

At the foot of the mountain, narcissus is blooming.
This is like a place where there is no wind.

Nyanko also took a nap at Matsuno teahouse near here.

canola flower was in full bloom in the middle of the year, but as it gets warmer, it will delight many customers.

　

 

 

　　On the afternoon of March 6, a “Onboard Guide Workshop” hosted by Chuo-ku was held.

　　Take a boat from the boarding of Takahashi, Koto-ku, go out the Onagi River in Koto-ku, and downstream down the Sumida River. Look at Chuo-ohashi Bridge to the right, go through Aioi Bridge, and go to the Toyosu Tree Plant.

　From the Toyosu Canal, the boat goes to Toshin, the Sunacho Canal, and go south from the Akebono Canal to Tokyo Bay.

　Around this time, many Olympic facilities will be built.

After that, we went westward north and went from Shinonome Canal to Harumi Wharf.

　The Rainbow Bridge is beautiful on the left hand. The waves are swaying high and big around here, giving the real pleasure of the ship.

　It is said that the left hand of Harumi Passenger Terminal will be the Olympic Village.

　The boat looks at the Asashio Canal to the right and goes to the Sumida River, and the refrigeration facilities at Tsukishima Wharf are the highlight.

　Loop Route 2 passing through Shimbashi (commonly known as MacArthur Road: scheduled to open in recent years) Bridge construction site, and from Tsukiji Market to Kachidokibashi.

　

Tsukuda Island on the right from St. Luke's Hospital.
The houses of Tsukuda from the sea are very nice.　The scenery from the sea is carefully built.

　When you pass through Chuo-ohashi Bridge, the Ishikawajima Condominiums are beautiful in the backlight.

And from Nihonbashi River to Toyomi Bridge. The fishing boat during the mooring is an accent. At Minato Bridge, I discovered the emblem of a sailing boat.

The boat goes westward with the stylish capital height as the roof.
Arrived on the shore of Sojuro Nihonbashi.

From now on, Chuo-ku will expand its doors to the sea.
