The only Tori-no-ichi Fair in Nihonbashi. Ningyocho Matsushima Shrine

[Shiba Inu] Nov. 20, 2018 18:00


The New Year was approaching, and it was the season of Tori-no-ichi Fair. This year there is up to the third rooster.

There are several famous shrines in Tori-no-ichi Fair in Tokyo, but in fact there is a wonderful Tori-no-ichi Fair in Nihonbashi, the city center!


3DE1E911-648A-4AB9-A7C8-81F6E2041FB9.jpgIt is Matsushima Shrine in Ningyocho.


Click here for the night.

Matsushima Shrine is a corner of Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods and enshrines Okuninushi. >


It was founded in the Kamakura period. At that time, this area was a cove and there was Kojima, and when the sun went down, ships and people were coming and going relying on the lights lit on Matsushima Inari. In the Edo period, many engineers moved from all over the country to reclaim land and build samurai residences, enshrining the hometown of guardian god, so Matsushima Inari had an unparalleled number of enshrined deity as 14 pillars!


Inari Ogami, Iyo Nagi Oga, Iyonami Okami, Himae Oga (Amaterasu Omikami), Kitano Oga (Sugawara no Michizane), Teoki Honaijin, Hikosa Tomojin, Awashima Oga, Hachiman Okami, Saru Tabiko, Kotohira Okami, Sunnyuri Okami (Okuninushi Otori) and Omiya No.
That's right. I think I can meet many gods at once....。


By the way, the famous Matsushima Shrine is "Ryomufuda". Draw the dream you want to fulfill on your bill, put it under the pillow, and sleep, and if you can dream it, your dream will come true! That's what it is. Everyone, please try it.


At Matsushima Shrine Tori-no-ichi Fair, there is Kanzashi kumade because Ningyocho was once a stylish city where geisha and actors came and went. A little rare kumade with a turtle and very cute. There is also a vermilion seal stamp limited to Tori-no-ichi Fair. And above all, it is vacant compared to the large-scale, inevitable Tori-no-ichi Fair in Tokyo! It is highly recommended because you can visit quickly and comfortably without stress. There are many delicious shops and famous shops around the area, so you can enjoy shopping on the way home.


Matsushima Shrine has recently been a location for the drama "dele" starring Takayuki Yamada and Masaki Sugata, so it is definitely recommended for those who want to enjoy the atmosphere of the drama.


Next is the third rooster, November 25th.


2-15, Nihonbashiningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo


It is about a 2-minute walk from Ningyocho Station and Suitengumae Station.

About the Nihonbashi 334-kai

[Nyan,] Nov. 18, 2018 12:00

 As you may know, in April 1959, "Miyoshikai" was launched as a youth club of the Nihonbashi Cuisine and Food Business Association.

While accumulating activities rooted in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, we are sincerely working hard to cook food to protect the taste of Nihonbashi and expand the circle of exchange among members. In recent years, we have actively participated in various activities in the region and are actively working on the challenge of revitalizing the region.

The number of members gradually increased, and now it is about 60 people.

There are many famous shops in Nihonbashi, but because there are many options, I am worried about which shop is better, but if you are a member of this "Miyoshikai" (shops) I guess there is no doubt.

There are various types of faces, such as long-established stores and founding Hoya Hoya shops, but the passion for betting on restaurant management and the spirit of loving the city of Nihonbashi are both common.

There may be problems with the sensitivity of my antenna, but I think it's getting more and more momentum recently and more opportunities to see it.

20181103_163918.jpg20181103_163755.jpg(The photo shows a taste competition with the 344th Association at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi)

Occasionally, we often offer limited menus for events, and the other day, a lunch menu measure of 3440 yen was being developed.

20181024_045338.jpg

The menu of every shop looks delicious. I was worried about what to eat ... I have no eyes on the sweet stuff, so this time I ordered a Afternoon Tea set with a fruit parlor at Senbikiya.

20181024_113337.jpg20181024_113916.jpg

Well, it's delicious. Every time you get one step by step, the sadness of the goal approaches (laughs).

The drink is a blend of cold green tea and grapes. This was personally a new way of drinking.

Looking around, everyone seems to be ordering this 3440 menu, and it is still popular as a special menu.

◆ Immerse yourself in the afterglow of your trip at the antenna shop in Nihonbashi

[Sumida Fireworks] Nov. 16, 2018 12:00

The “Marugoto Museum” and “Nihonbashi / Kyobashi Festival” of autumn events in Chuo-ku are over, and the scenery of the city is finally changing to costumes for Christmas and year-end. Looking at the scenery of the city heading for winter, you will naturally look back on yourself this year.

 

As you know, there are many antenna shops all over the country in Chuo-ku. Among them, I want to take a look at the new store I visited recently because of the new memory of the land.

 

On my way home from work, I walked around Nihonbashi at night and went around some shops, so I would like to introduce it while immersed in the lingering lingering of my trip.

s_hanabi66-1.jpg 

The Nihonbashi Fukushimakan-MIDETTE is the closest antenna shop in Nihonbashi to Kanda. I've been enjoying a leisurely trip to Aizu on the Tobu train departing from Asakusa this fall, but it's a shop in Fukushima Prefecture.

s_hanabi66-2.jpg

 

This year, "2017", a celebration event was held in Tokyo, but in Aizu, it was called "Boshin 150th Anniversary". As you know, Aizu is the place where a sad battle took place in Boshin war 150 years ago. It was also a journey that reminded me of such a history.

s_hanabi66-3.jpg

 

One of the pleasures of traveling is the local regional cuisine. There is a dish called "Kozuyu" in Aizu. It seems to be a dish served at New Year's and celebrations, and it is a "feast" that contains a lot of dried food and root vegetables. I was very healed by the simple taste.
When I looked for it at this shop, I bought it because it was lined up on the shelf. 

s_hanabi66-4.jpg

The antenna shop can be used when the souvenirs you eat are too delicious and regret that they should have bought more. If you have such a souvenir, please go to the shop and look for it. I'm sure you can find it. 

 

 

I crossed Nihonbashi and came in front of the newly renovated Takashimaya this year. The scenery of the city around here has recently changed, and the pleasure of strolling has increased.

s_hanabi66-5.jpgThe antenna shop in Yamaguchi Prefecture near here is "Oidema Yamaguchikan". Yamaguchi Prefecture is the westernmost prefecture in the Chugoku region, but there are many attractive bridges in the Chugoku region, so it is a very enviable place for me who like bridges. 

 

In Yamaguchi Prefecture, the historic bridge called Kintai-kyo Bridge and the Kanmon-kyo Bridge over Kanmon Straits are famous, but the most memorable thing is Tsunoshima-ohashi Bridge, which I visited two years ago. I still can't forget the superb view as if I were in the sea of Okinawa.

s_hanabi66-6.jpg

 

Well, I stopped by this shop because I was interested in Yoshida Shoin in a blog post I wrote last time.

 

    Last blog post ⇒ What do you think in Jisshi Park?

 

In a prison in Kodemmacho, now Chuo-ku, Yoshida Shoin wrote a will addressed to his disciples, "Rinquiry Record," and was executed the next day (Ansei's Prison). The memoir passed to the disciples became the cornerstone of the hearts of the late Tokugawa shogunate soldiers and the driving force of the Meiji Restoration, but there was a booklet on the memoir issued by Hagi Shoin Shrine in this shop, so I bought it for a trial and read it.

s_hanabi66-7.jpg

In Ansei's prison in late Tokugawa shogunate, Sanai Hashimoto of Fukui clansman was also executed in this prison 20 days before Shoin execution. It seems that Shoin and Sauchi did not meet, but Shoin wrote about the left in this memoir.

 

On the left side, even during Shinshin, he did not break his attitude to "learn from history", and read and commented on the Chinese history book "Shiji Tsukan". Shoin learned about it in prison, was impressed by his learning attitude, and lamented that he could not meet left.

 

As I wrote in the previous blog post, this "Shiji Tsukan" is a book that comes from the name of "Jushi Elementary School" built on the site of Kodemmacho prison. In my own imagination, those who thought about the name of this elementary school in the Meiji era wanted to entrust the "learning attitude" written in the romary record related to this land to the name of the elementary school that is the school building I guess.

 

With that in mind, I felt that the name "Jushi Elementary School" was a very deep name.

 

Yamaguchi Prefecture is also the place where poets such as Misuzu Kaneko and Chuya Nakahara were produced. Some antenna shops seem to have shops where you can experience the history and literature of the area, and some books may only be available on your travels. If you like that area, I think it's a good idea to go to the shop and find it.

s_hanabi66-8.jpg 

 

The last is the antenna shop "Hokkaido Fudist" in the Yaesu Underground Shopping Center at the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station. Hokkaido is large, so there are many specialty products, and there are various products lined up in the store, but among them, "Konbu" is probably the famous one.

 

This summer vacation destination was Rishiri Island in Hokkaido.

s_hanabi66-9.jpg

The kelp dried there is one of the scenes of memories I saw on my trip. Depending on the production area, kelp in Hokkaido is called Rausu kelp, Hidaka kelp, Rishiri kelp, etc., but since each has its own characteristics, it seems that it is better to use it properly according to the application. November 15 was "Konbu Day", and there was also a corner at the shop, but the biggest attraction of the antenna shop is that you can touch the local specialties.

 

This summer, Their Majesties The Emperor and Empress visited Rishiri as the last "visit to remote islands" in the Heisei era. This Rishiri is an island, but the whole island is a big mountain. The brave figure depicted on the package of "White Lover" in famous confectionery, Hokkaido attracts many climbers.

s_hanabi66-3.jpg

This year, I decided to climb Mount Fuji for the first time in thirty years, and I climbed Rishiri as a practice, but since it is a beginner mountain climbing, it is quite harsh. But it was my best memory this year.

 

At Fuji climbing, we aim for the summit on the mountain trail called "Prince Route", but for some reason a typhoon from east to west approached and unfortunately returned at the 7th station. The course of Shimoyama was very scary, and I experienced the fear of the weather in the mountains.

 

This "Prince Route" is a newly built mountain trail named for the road where the Crown Prince, who is famous for mountain climbing, climbed. One era of "Heisei" is over, and the road to a new era is finally being built, but I hope that next year will be a peaceful year without disasters.

s_hanabi66-11.jpgFrom now on, the scenery of the city will be glittering, and the last Christmas of Heisei, and Chuo-ku will reach the end of the year. In this town with many antenna shops, it's fun to look around the shop while looking back on this year. How about everyone?

Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center Original

[Silver] Nov. 15, 2018 14:00

 The Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center, as the name implies, is located on the side of Nabashi and Nihonbashi.

A pleasant young lady will respond kindly with a smile. On this day, I decided to buy some long-established candy in Nihonbashi.

So, I found a clear file that can only be obtained here.

1542015002791.jpg

We reported that we recently took a walk from Toyosu Ohashi to Tsukiji Ohashi and Hamarikyu Gardens with the opening of the partial bypass of Route 2, but this clear file covers all the names of the bridges related to Nihonbashi River. I am. 

"Sumida River Mitsuhashi" is a must-have for a fun walk while watching Kachidokibashi, Eitai Bridge, Kiyosu Bridge, and the boats you meet, which are designated as important cultural properties. The Sumida River also enjoys a walk with Ginko.

Please purchase it at the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.
