On the morning of November 6th (Fri), when I took the Ginza 2-chome intersection along Chuo-dori, the annual snake Christmas illumination was being prepared on the wall of the building of the Bvlgari Ginza Tower.

The head is finished, the tail is not yet.

The season has come when the illuminations with the motif of "Serpenti (Serpenti in Italian)" famous as a jewelry icon in Bvlgari have turned on.

Lighting is scheduled for November 13th (Friday).

　Finally, tomorrow (November 1) is the date of the "Marugoto Museum 2015". Today (Saturday, October 31), the atmosphere is likely to rain in the cloudy sky from the morning, but I went around tomorrow's course again by bicycle.

　In the following, we will add a little more information about the "Harumi area".

　The road that goes straight from Kachidokibashi, as shown in the road sign in front of the original hotel Urashima (below) where Harumi-dori St. from Kachidokibashi and the street coming from Harumi 1-2 chome intersect. From here, it will be "Ariake-dori St.".

　A short distance from Ariake-dori St. is Harumi Ohashi. Harumi Ohashi is a road bridge connecting Harumi Chuo-ku, Tokyo and Toyosu, Koto-ku. The bridge length is 580m, the height to the surface of the Harumi Canal at the highest point is 24.2m, and was completed on March 25, 2006. .

　While looking at the Chuo Incineration Plant and Hot Plaza Harumi to the right, pass the new Tsukishima Police Station Government Building and proceed further along Harumi-dori St. to reach Harumi Terminal.

From next to Harumi Terminal, see Rainbow Bridge.

　This is the planned Olympic Village.

　The way home. Harumi-dori St. heading to Kachidokibashi, "Harumi Triton Square" on the right of Reimei Bridge, but there is a covered triton bridge across the morning tide canal next to Reimei Bridge.

　At the Marugoto Museum, "Harumi Triton Square" became an "Information & Lottery Venue", and was also a venue for "Waku Waku and Suisui" Waterside Exploration "" and "Flower Carpet Harumi 2015".

A monument to the birthplace of seafarer education is built on Eitai Bridge Nishizume at Shinkawa 2-chome. On November 1, 1875, 140 years ago, Mitsubishi Shosen School (now the Faculty of Marine Engineering, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology), was established.

At that time, Japan's shipping industry was delayed due to the national isolation that lasted for more than 250 years, and the operation of major seafarers relied on foreign seafarers. In order to improve its appearance as a modern state, the new Meiji government considers it urgent to operate international routes by Japanese people, and ordered Yataro Iwasaki of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu at the order of the Minister of the Interior, Toshimichi Okubo. Full-scale high seafarer education began with the sailing ship, Seimyomaru, moored on Okawa near Shinkawa, as a school building and training ship.

Mitsubishi Shosen School, which was established on Reikishi Island, was transferred to the government and became Tokyo Shosen School, and is now taken over by the Faculty of Marine Engineering, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology in Eshinakajima, Koto Ward, across the Sumida River.

Toshimichi Okubo ordered Yataro Iwasaki to build a merchant ship school, but the headquarters of the Mitsubishi Steamship Company (established in 1870), which took over the business of the Tosa clan, was located in Nihonbashi Minami Kayabacho (1874), and the company carried steamship on the Tokyo-Osaka, Kochi-Kobe route, etc. (Mitsubishi Steamship Company merged with a joint transportation company of Mitsuiheadwater in 1885 to become Nippon Yusen).

Walking from Eitai Bridge to Shinkawa Park, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, and Ishikawajima Park, you will find Aioi Bridge. There is a museum commemorating the 100th anniversary of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology on Ecchu Island, Koto-ku across the bridge. Here, there is a permanent exhibition (ship engine, ship model, signal flag, rope work, etc.), and you can also climb on the deck of the Meiji Maru. The photo shows Mr. Mori of Tokyo University of Commerce OB, a volunteer of the Memorial Museum who was guided.

At the Memorial Museum, special exhibition is holding the "Meiji Opens: The 140th Anniversary Exhibition of Merchant Ship Education - People Growed Ships and Ships Growed People" until November 30. Photos related to the Mitsubishi School in the text are open to the public for a limited time in the exhibition, and are provided with the courtesy of the 100th Anniversary Museum of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology.

 The Memorial Archives is located in Ecchujima, Koto-ku, but it is a good opportunity to learn about the history of Mitsubishi Merchant School, which was established on Reigishima Island (now Shinkawa, Chuo-ku) on the opposite bank. Why don't you extend your legs while thinking about the history of the waterfront in Chuo-ku from the "Seafarer Education Birthplace Monument" at Eitai Bridge Nishizume?

We took a short walk in front of the whole Chuo-ku Museum on 11/1 and the bus guide in the afternoon.

１） At Fukutoku Shrine in COREDO Muromachi, rent a Chuo-ku community cycle (bicycle) to visit the shrine.
It may be a great way to run on flat ground by electric bicycle, return PORT is also Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, and
There are a little in Ginza and Tsukishima, and it looks like a settlement with PASMO, etc., and it has a new city look.

I was about half around. Next year, I'll take some time and go around everything.

２） It is "Tsukiji Namiki Inari Shrine" standing outside the Tsukiji area for lunch. Reclaimed land since the opening of Edo period
While we had to make a lot of things, the sea surface here at Tsukiji was the hardest part of the wave, no matter how much dike was built.
One day, when I picked up a glowing thing floating in the sea, it was the body of Inari Okami.
When we built the shrine hall, the wind stopped and the landfill was completed (1659).
Every year, a pair of lion heads that appear at the Tsukiji Lion Festival in June is located on the precincts and is a highlight.

   Today (November 3) is a sunny holiday.　I went to Ginza to complete the "Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour" left around yesterday evening and got a pamphlet for "AUTUMN GINZA 2015".

　If you read this again, it is full of meaningful events.　But it's the last day.

　When you realize, most of them are over.　It's like my life and sad (laughs).

   It's Ginza Street (Chuo-dori) today.
