Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center is located on the 1st and 1st floors of the new building "Kyobashi Edgran" along Kyobashi 2-chome Chuo-dori.

This facility has the function of collecting and transmitting tourist information in multiple languages and local tourist information, and is a base for providing tourism information in Chuo-ku.

Naturally, there are various tourist information pamphlets for Chuo-ku, and the fact that tourist information can be collected can be used as a subtext for the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification in February next year.

I also received these pamphlets and guide maps, so I am an examinee.

The museum is open from 9:00 to 21:00, and is open all year round (except when the entire building is closed).

　Tsukiji's Namishi Inari Shrine is crowded with worshipers who go through the "Chinowa" to remove the filth of the last year toward the end of the year.

The installation of pine decorations has also been completed.

　On December 26 (Monday), the Tsukiji Outer Market was crowded with many tourists, and ordinary customers seemed to buy it.　Your customers will not be interrupted until 30 days.

Tsukiji Fish Bank also welcomes many customers, and there is pine decorations at the entrance.　The way to cut this bamboo is "small body". It can be seen that there are no injuries to customers.

The pine decoration of this soba shop is like Japanese shop curtain, with bamboo grass on both sides and tied both ends.

The state of the Ginza Capital Hotel New Building is "cut the tip of bamboo diagonally cut from the side so that there is no injury to customers. I use bamboo that looks like laughing, leaving the section at the cut.

And it is a pine decoration of Tsukiji's restaurant "Jisaku".　Here too, "We cut bamboo diagonally and cut the tip from the side. "I'm making my mouth at the knot."　By the way, would you like to cook water tonight?

This bamboo cutting method is called "sogi", leaving the mouth part and making it look like laughing. "Good luck comes to the laughing gate." I hope that the coming 2017 will be a good year for you.

I'm writing in detail in past blogs, so please refer to them. /archive/2015/01/hoel.html

 

 

What kind of scenery will you encounter if you take a walk for a little 15 minutes between lunchtime at work and between shopping? This time, I went around Ginza 1-chome with Kururin from the Yuuraku Bridge intersection on Sotobori-dori St.

　

　

①The whole statue of Ryoma in Kochi

　

Antenna shop in Kochi Prefecture. In front is a statue of Ryoma Sakamoto, who was boarding at the Tsukiji Tosa clan residence. The statue of Ryoma at Katsura-hama Beach is more than 10m above the head and can only be looked up. But here I'm glad to have a two-shot together like a loose character from Susaki City, Kochi Prefecture, Shinjo-kun of Nihon otter. At the end of the Edo period, Ryoma, who attended the Sadakichi Chiba Dojo near the current Sotobori-dori St. Kajibashi intersection, and Shozan Sakuma Juku in Ginza 6-chome, may have been walking around here.

　

②Tokyo Kosoku Doro Konya Building

　

Under this highway is the Kyobashi River, which was excavated during the Edo period to restore Edo Castle. The place where "Marugoto Kochi" was located was called Minami Konya-cho, where craftsmen who dyed the work clothes of the townspeople lived. It looks like the name of the building that retains its remnants. Now, breadmakers of the popular bakery "Senttleza Bakery", which is lined with many people before the opening of 10:00, are very active.

　

③Namiki-dori St. starts

　

From Ginza 1-chome to 8-chome, the 1000m Namiki-dori St., which runs straight north and south, starts here. The street is a remnant of the Edo period town.

　

④Mitsukosha and Starbur Ginza

　

Your feet are sucked in the taste of the pillars of the building. Mikosha is an advertising store founded in 1911 and opened here in Ginza 1-chome in 1922. In that year, he acquired advertising rights on the back of the streetcar coupon in Tokyo. After that, in 1951, it became a designated agency of the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation. It is a company with a history of more than 100 years at the forefront of the times.

In the basement of a building with such a history, "Star Bar Ginza" is located. This is the shop of Hisashi Kishi, who became the first world champion in Japan at the 1996 World Cocktail Competition.

　

⑤Ko Inari Shrine

　

In the alley from Namiki-dori St., one of Ginza Hatcho Shrines is Ko Inari Shrine. Due to the redevelopment of the city, Inari, who has been worshiped by the common people since the Edo period, may move to the rooftop of the building without stopping, but this is neatly enshrined in the valley of a tall building.

　

⑥Showa Retro Landscape and 2-star Restaurant

　

When you pass through the alley and go out to Ginza Brick Street, you will suddenly get a retro air. "Sanshu-ya" and the dentist in the neighborhood are also two stories. Sanshu-ya is a shop that is thankful for smokers and allows smoking in all seats. The scenery sandwiched between buildings appears in the nostalgic Showa era for some reason.

　

And if you turn around, "Taverna GUSTAVINO" from an Italian restaurant. A popular shop that has moved here due to the redevelopment of Kyobashi. It is also a charm of Ginza that Showa retro and stylish restaurants are mixed.

　

⑦Ginza "Masumoto", an old cashier that you want to see.

　

When you go to Yanagi-dori St. and go to the right after passing the antenna shop in Yamagata Prefecture and return to Namiki-dori St., the stylish Japanese shop curtain of Masumoto catches your eye. There is an old cash register 90 years ago in the shop. The cash register of the same generation is also for brick-tei in Ginza 3-chome. Isn't it a piece of Ginza that I want to meet?

　

⑧Fish-dried net hanging on the front of an alley

　

On the way back from Yanagi-dori St. to the Yuuraku Bridge intersection at the starting point, there was an alley. There is a fish-dried net hanging at the storefront. There are about 10 pieces of large salmon fillets. In the alleys of Ginza, salmon will be dried with good salt and plums. Even though it's an alley, it's Ginza. Ginza walk is likely to be stuck in the scenery of Ginza.

　

Goal: Sotobori-dori St. Yuuraku Bridge Intersection

　

Kururin is completed for 15 minutes. Continuing to vol.2.

　

　

　

　

　

　

 

 

Ozu Washi is one of the oldest long-established stores in Nihonbashi.

It was opened for two years (1653). Starting from Matsuzaka in Ise, I came to the current Edo Dai Temmacho.

In addition to the store on the first floor, Ozu Washi has a historical museum with about 1,000 ancient document registered by Chuo Ward Tangible Cultural Property. A guide can also be requested), various cultural classes, Japanese paper galleries nationwide, and paper making classes that can be experienced with one coin, the facilities are so full that you can enjoy the day.

Paper making experience for 500 yen. Of course, you can take your own paper home.

I think some people are wondering what to buy because the souvenirs are great, but in such a situation! Perfect size and price for a small Nihonbashi souvenir! There is a product called "Oh".

That's right!

Do you know anything about it?

(By the way, the doll on the side is the zodiac do bell that you can visit around Ginza Hatcho Shrine.)

This is a lens wiping made of microfiber.

The product name is "Optical Lens Cloth Glasses", but of course, it is not just glasses that can be wiped. Oil stains on screens of smartphones and personal computers, camera lenses, and fingertips. Just wipe it quickly and it will be really beautiful. You can remove the fine dirt on the smartphone screen just by gently stroking it several times. Moreover, once you wipe it, you can use it repeatedly until it breaks instead of poi.

Unwoven fabric made of micro fiber developed by a long-established Japanese paper company. Do you feel the fineness of your eyes?

Even in a box, there is a small pocket type that costs several hundred yen.

This is the first time you use it....!, So I think it is a product suitable for practical and souvenirs.

In stores, it is often placed next to the cash register, but it may be a bit difficult to find it, so I think it would be better to ask the clerk.

If you would like to know more about Ozu Washi's historical museum and hands-on classroom, please check out the site. There are clerks who are fluent in English, so it is safe for foreigners!

Bakurocho was the stage of rakugo "Gojin Shutokuri" and "Walth of the Inn".

From the story, Bakurocho tells you the various aspects that was a post town.

One day, even more bustling turned into a wholesale district.

Modern buildings are lined up around JR Bakurocho Station.

It is also developing as an office district.

　

Meanwhile, an accommodation facility was born as if reminiscent of the past.

　

<Train Hostel Hokutosei>

　

The in-car equipment of the sleeper train "Hokutosei" that has been reluctantly retired.

The hotel we used was built in a building directly connected to JR Bakurocho Station.

A new sensation that allows you to experience the blue train that has been a longing for.

It's an accommodation. The accommodation fee is also very reasonable, starting from 2500 yen.

If you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a sleeper, why not use it?

　

　

◆Train Hostel Hokutosei

Location Nihonbashibakurocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 1-10-12
Access Directly connected to the 4th exit of Bakurocho Station on the JR Sobu Line Rapid Service
　

 

 

　This year is only a few more, and I think that many people are preparing New Year's holidays and preparing New Year's dishes.

Eat while shopping.　Tamagoyaki is located at the top of the eating walk outside Tsukiji.

Kibun's "Tsukiji Age (Isobe)", "Tunakatsu", "Tuna Ball", and "Okonomi-age" are also popular.

　

　The seafood skewered buffet at Tsukiji eel dining room is affordable. "Eel skewers", "Scallop skewers", "Shrimp skewers", "Squid skewers", etc. are ¥ 200 per skewers.

For shopping, we recommend every store where the high quality shines, backed by Tsukiji's "building technique", but we recommend it.

"Tokyo Fisheries" entered the alley in front of Mr. Kibun.　A reasonable size true octopus, good quality, and $1,200 is a great deal. I think that the opening of the throat and the opening of the fish such as dried flounder are also cheaper.

The street in front of "Tsukiji Sushi" is the ice head at Seven Million. The vinegared pickling of cartilage in the nose of salmon is a delicacy.)

At Aikodo, tastings of delicious silver cod and Melo are always sold, and the good taste is the best in the world. The inside of the store has so many processed fishery products that can be said to be a treasure trove of delicacies, and it also arranges local delivery.

The meat of the Oomiya Beef Store is taiko.　Steak meat and sukiyaki meat are both essential at the end of the year.

　The out-of-market market is relatively open until around 9 a.m.　After 12 o'clock, there are some shops that make it cheaper.

However, it may be out of stock, so I can't say what time is better.

　After that, please stop by Tsukiji Outer Market.

Tsukiji Fish Bank is open until 3:00 pm. It seems that there is a shop that will make it cheaper after 1 p.m.　Please refer to this article for more information about Tsukiji Fish Bank.
