　This year, the one-day "Oedo wholesaler festival" will be held from 9:00 to 16:00 on December 7 (Sun).

As I introduced last year, this sale was held by a wholesaler in Nihonbashi Yokoyama-cho and Bakurocho wholesaler district.

Since it is a sale that opens the store, wholesale products are sold at wholesale prices.

You can buy it with confidence.

Shindo-dori is the center, but besides Shindo-dori, there are many wholesalers that open shops only on this day and sell them at wholesale prices, so it is fun just to look around various things, but Shindo-dori It is a bit difficult to walk depending on time because the crowd is so great.
The nearest stations are Asakusabashi, Bakurocho, Bakuroyokoyama, Higashinihombashi, and Kodemmacho.

In addition, although the location is a little far away from the Oedo wholesaler festival, "Horikoshi tie", which manufactures and wholesales ties and mufflers, is called "Horikoshi tie".
We have a family sale for the following period. Unfortunately, the day of the Oedo wholesaler festival is Sunday.
I can't look around with you.

Men's mainly, but how about Christmas presents?

Chuo-ku is a convenient area with a well-developed transportation network. In public transportation, JR, subways, metropolitan buses, community buses, etc. run vertically and horizontally. The familiar thing may be the "Ginza Line" that passes through Ginza and Nihonbashi, but the other thing that you must not forget on the subway line is the "Hibiya Line". There are seven stations in the ward that exceed the Ginza Line, and it is an important route not only for residents but also for many customers.

The Hibiya Line was planned at an early stage to enhance the convenience of transportation in Tokyo, and was built from the beginning on the premise of mutual direct access to private railways. After partially opening in 1961 (Showa 36), construction was rushed in time for the previous Tokyo Olympics, and in 1964 (Showa 39), the entire line was opened. This year marks the 50th anniversary of this year. Indeed, it can be said that it is a railway line that was born and nurtured along with the history of the development of Japan and Tokyo after the war. Among the railway lines, the most presence is the stations in Chuo-ku. It runs frequently in small areas and is also useful as a foot for flow in the area.

For a long time on the Hibiya Line, silver vehicles with a humorous face of the 3000 series have been popular. The cover of the commemorative pamphlet distributed at Tokyo Metro is also displayed. After all, it was the first "semi-stainless vehicle" adopted by the subway at that time. For the first time, ATC (automatic train control device) was installed to improve safety. I think it was a revolutionary famous car, including its design.

Since then, a vehicle wearing a silver belt called the 03 series is now running. There are also vehicles from the Tobu Railway, which is mutually accessible. Until last year, we had been interacting with the Tokyu Line, so we sometimes saw Tokyu Car Corporation, but it has disappeared and I feel a little lonely. Tokyo Metro and Tobu have announced plans to launch new vehicles in fiscal 2016. It is said that the current 18m8 formations will be unified to 20m7 formations by 2019, and home doors will be developed. More and more interest in the evolving Hibiya Line.

The Hibiya Line does not run very deep because the construction method of excavating roads from the ground at that time was adopted. Because of that, there are sharp curves here and there to basically run under the road. The creaking sound as you pass through the curve from the vent on the ground may be heard. Somehow it's a familiar train. Please use the Hibiya Line when working, shopping, or strolling in Chuo-ku. You can visit various towns.
