This time, it is an introduction to the plain content, but I tried the theme of Nihonbashinakasu where I live.
After passing through the TCAT from Suitengumae Station, there is the bus terminal and the entrance to the Hakozaki Interchange on the expressway, but what I would like to introduce this time is beside it.
If you walk straight for a few tens of seconds, you will find a traffic light, and if you turn right, you will find a plate on the outer wall of the first floor of the apartment on the left side of the entrance to the expressway on your right, Nihonbashinakasu and Mebashi that was once there (2-1 Nihonbashi Nakasu). I decided to introduce it here because of the feeling that there is such a thing in such a place.
As the name suggests, this area, which was the Nakasu of the Okawa (Sumida River), and the Ukiyo-e depicts the state of the time as an area where reeds in the river grow (Hiroshige famous Edo Hundred Views Mitsumata Wakare no Fuchi).
Although it was once reclaimed and bustling during the Edo period, it was abolished during the Kansei period and regained its bustle during the Meiji period. Nakasu is like an island, and the current expressway is the Hakozaki River, which was connected by two bridges, Otokobashi and Mebashi. It's a simple name. It is also a name that makes you feel the Hanayanagi world. It is said that there were theaters, restaurants and restaurants in Nakasu. It seems that writers such as Kafu Nagai also went there.
Now, the atmosphere of that time has disappeared. The waterways were also buried with debris during the war reconstruction, and there was no bustle. Instead, Kiyosu Bridge is built, honoring the beauty of competing for one or two on the Sumida River. What does not change is probably the flow of Okawa. Visitors to Nakasu would probably have enjoyed the ukiyo-e break by looking at the river. Even now, the river is gathering people.
In fact, even if you don't care about Nihonbashinakasu, there are surprisingly many people who pass through this city through Kiyosu Bridge and Sumida River Terrace. However, this plate is in a place where it is hard to see. If you are interested, please look for it when you come nearby.

This shrine is located at the back of the bicycle parking lot next to the alley of the apartment where the washing machine and dryer are located. The imbalance is strange. (1-6-11 Horidome-cho)
   
The shrine originated in 1617, Jinnemon Shoji, a ronin of the Hojo family, who was called the grandfather of the Hojo family, and several other temporary residences, recommended enshrined deity from Fushimi Inari, Kyoto, and was enshrined as guardian angel.
It is said that this name was given because the first Danjuro Ichikawa came and succeeded, and since the name was raised, many merchants and performing arts were introduced from this religion.
It is said that the current main hall was built by reusing waste from the former worship hall of Sugimori Shrine after the Great Kanto Earthquake, and Iwashiro Inari Shrine in Iwashiromachi (later merged with Horidome Town) is also enshrined.
It is Danjuro Ichikawa, the 12th generation Danjuro who passed away on February 3, reminiscent of the first Danjuro Ichikawa. I wish you all the best of your happiness.

Chuo-ku has long been developed as the center of culture and performing arts. It is also a rich town with the stylish atmosphere of the city and the spirit of cherishing tradition.
 There are therefore various hobby and special skills enthusiasts in this town, and a variety of activities are being developed here and there.
The season of once-a-year presentation of circles registered as groups at the Social Education Center in Chuo-ku has come. Every year at this time, three "Social Education Centers" are held with recruiting members from their affiliated circles.
At the forefront, for the two days of Saturday, February 9 and 10 (Sun), a presentation of members belonging to [Tsukishima Social Education Center] was held in the hall on the 4th floor of the hall. I have seen the situation.
When we arrive at the venue, the audience seats are almost full. The family and friends of each circle member came to support me, and there were also local residents who really liked performing arts and came to enjoy it.
The program is the culmination of practice that each circle works on a daily basis. "Karaoke", "Tai Chi", "Dance", "Hula (Hawaiian Dance)" will continue, so you will not get tired of it. The sincere attitude of the performers will be conveyed.
 In the lobby, the members of the circle after the appearance praised each other for their enthusiasm, the difficulties of training, and the atmosphere was full of a relaxed atmosphere. I thought it was meaningful to further deepen exchanges between inhabitants of a ward through the presentation of such culture and performing arts.
Above all, you can even enviable the sense of fulfillment after completing your best performance and the sense of solidarity between your friends.
 After this, "Circle Presentation" will be held from February 16 (Sat) to 17 (Sun), members of "Nihonbashi Social Education Center" and members of "Tsukiji Social Education Center" on 23 (Sat), Each presentation is scheduled. It is also introduced on the homepage of Chuo-ku. Admission is free, so why not take a look at it?
"Chuo-ku Circle Presentation"
It was a day when I rediscovered the spirit and enthusiasm of everyone in this town. I wish you all the best and best for you.

At Tsukishima Daini Children's Park in Chuo-ku, cherry trees (weeping cherry tree) seedlings are planted to commemorate the population of Chuo-ku exceeding 120,000 (the first time in 42 years since 1969).
 
Main changes in the population of Chuo-ku
1947: Approximately 115,000 people (at the birth of Chuo-ku)
1953: Approximately 170,000 people (maximum population so far)
1997: Approximately 70,000 people (the lowest population so far)
2006: Achieved “100,000 residents”
2008: Over 110,000
2011: Over 120,000
Chuo-ku has a population growth rate of 35.7% from 2000 to 2005, ranking first among approximately 2,000 municipalities nationwide, including administrative districts of government-designated cities.
In particular, the population of child-raising households in their 30s and 40s seems to continue to increase.
Based on this settled population, we expect the establishment of such parks and child care support facilities under a stable financial base.

The fourth is Oshu Kaido, which goes along the Gokaido in Chuo-ku. During the Edo period, the road from Nihonbashi to Tohoku via Senju-juku to Mutsu Shirakawa. The current Chuo-ku area overlaps with National Route 17 up to the Muromachi 3-chome intersection, and turn right here and Toshin, it becomes National Routes 4 and 6 at Edo-dori St. In addition, turn left on Showa-dori and go north on National Route 4 to the site of Jizo Bridge on the border with Chiyoda-ku.
 On the Edo-dori St. side of the Muromachi 3-chome intersection, an explanation board for "Nagasakiya Ruins" stands at the entrance of Shin-Nihonbashi Station on the JR Sobu Line Rapid Service (upper left photo). It was the place where Dutch trading post became the point of contact with other countries in isolation. It is written in Kyoka that I stayed here for 20 days. It is said that the site is about 540 tsubo, so the surrounding area may have been a inn. During the late Tokugawa shogunate period, Nagasakiya moved to Funamatsumachi (now Akashicho) and closed the curtain.
Edo-dori St. was one of the reconstruction roads of the Great Kanto Earthquake, and was originally called "Shin Tokiwa Bridge Street" and later became the current name. The Honmachi intersection, which crosses Showa-dori, is also a place where road signs, including the Metropolitan Expressway, are intersected.
National Route 4 goes north on Showa-dori, so if you turn left along the Metropolitan Expressway, you will see a sign for Utsunomiya (upper right in the photo). Eventually a small park appears on the left. It is Jizobashi Park. The Ryuka River flows here, and the Jizo Bridge is located. At the border with Chiyoda-ku, a monument of the two wards is standing (lower left photo).
Turning to the east side of Showa-dori on the other side of Jizobashi Park, there is an explanation board for the "Kanda Hatchobori Ruins" installed in Chiyoda-ku (lower right photo). Ryukagawa is derived from the fact that it was also known as Kanda Hatchobori. In the late Edo period, the humorous book "Tokaido Naka-Kurige" by Tokasha 19 begins with the story that the main characters, Yajirobei and Kitahachi, were residents of this area. The nineteen tombs are located in Toyo-in, Kachidoki 4-chome. National Route 4 goes to Michinoku via Ueno. ●Akira Makibuchi
