I'm a graduate of Yasuaki Elementary School.

　

Toya Kitamura, a modern romantic literature, graduated in 1882. The stone monument in the photo is placed in front of the school gate. (You can see it from public roads)

　

Toruya's pen name is

　

Change the number of Sukiyabashi to "To" by reading aloud, and change the shop to "Tani".

There is a story that the sound was called "Koku".

　

Can you help me?

It's a true story.

　

There is Sukiyabashi right next to Yasuaki Elementary School. But ...

Why don't you take a look at your shopping in Ginza?...

　

 

 

　I went to Tsukiji Honganji to visit.　Holding your hand to main hall will always calm your mind.

On the left side of the main hall, we always receive a commemorative card with words. It's a signpost of my heart, and it's a bookmark.

January 2018 [New Year's Book] is "Open".

"Open," The thought put in was "Tsukiji Honganji from November 2017" open! !　Tsukiji Honganji. Under the slogan, the "Tera and" Project "has started. The "Tera to" Project "is a new activity that greatly expands the activities of the temple so far for those who have had little connection with the temple until now.　Please look forward to the activities of "Opened Tsukiji Honganji" in the future.　That's a word.

　I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

 

 

　"Kachidoki" is the newest area in Chuo-ku and the most vibrant area now.　The population is 26,533 as of January 1, 2018, accounting for about 17% of the population of 156,823 in Chuo-ku. (The Tsukishima area, including Kachidoki, has 72,539 people, accounting for 46% of the total.)

New people were moved in and said, "What kind of town is Kachidoki?　What kind of town is Toyomi?"

In such a case, you can understand well by reading the mikoshi displayed at the Kachidoki and Toyomi Historical Materials Exhibition Hall and their explanations.

Photographs of portable shrine

　portable shrine's next explanation, "About portable shrine, No. 2."

　It's "Sugumi", a fire extinguisher.

Description of the summary (about the summary of the sixth group in the first ward),

　If you want to know more, please contact us.

If you read "Ayumi in Chuo-ku, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the ward administration-Post-War Development and Changes in Town" published by Chuo-ku Folk Tenmonkan, you can understand well from the chronology of history and with commentary with photos.

Then, in the Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia published by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, the origin of the old town name was confirmed, "Harumi was formed from 1-chome to 6-chome Harumi-cho in July 1937. The name of the town was lost due to the indication of the house determined by the hope of "always facing the clear sea" at the Kyobashi Ward Conference at that time. ] You can also know that.　

　It may be a snake foot, but it seems that there is a town name that disappeared due to the implementation of the 15th house display from 1965 to 1987.　In general, Takaramachi became the current Kyobashi 1-3 chome, but it was almost simplified, and it seems that "Shintomi-cho was Shintomi, Irifunecho entered, Minato-cho was Minato" .

　Harumi will continue to face and develop beautiful Tokyo Bay.

 

 

Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store was designated as a national important cultural property in July 2016, and it can be said that the main building has many historical attractions. Did you know that there is a free "history tour" for elementary, junior high and high school students at the Mitsukoshi Main Store? The tour takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and the guide will guide you through the highlights of the store and explain the secrets and rare topics of the birth of a department store. In addition, you will be able to respond carefully to questions from the participants, so I think you will study a lot. The capacity is 2 to 12 people, and the participation fee is free.

I went to new year worshipping at Sanko Inari Shrine and received a book of history.

　The enshrined deity is Sanko Inari Oga (Statue of Oga) and Tadokoro Inari Daimyojin (Statue of Tachiki).

According to "Edo Sokako" (1689, 1689), the current Sanko Inari is said to be "Hase Kawamachi, Sanjuro Inari" because the Kabuki actor Sanjuro Seki (second generation) and the Kabuki actor Sanjuro Seki (second generation) who was said to have been resigned to the residence. (Omitted) Sakaimachi (currently the name of the town at the time of editing the history of Yoshimachi 2-chome town association) Kabuki actor Sanjuro Seki, who appeared at Nakamuraza, was acting, and there was a flash like a spirit in the hall. It is said that the audience was immovable to see and admired his reputation as if it were shining to his art.　He worships the shrine of Fushimiinari in the garden, so this is due to the protection of Shinmei and the two characters of his own three and light, called Sanko Inari, which is said to have been enshrined in the garden and revered as a guardian god in the town. (Hereafter, I will omit it.)

(The missing cat, return safely)

The stone monument (Koshi January 1954) entitled "Sanko Inari Shrine approach" was written by Shimo-Ochiai, Shinjuku-ku, Tokushichi Mishima (Professor Todai, One Metallurgy), and Fumiko and his wife when they were unknown. It was erected to thank you for returning safely for the first time in three months.

(sacred object of worship of Sanko Shrine will return)

At the time of the Great Kanto Earthquake, the chief priest of Sanko Shrine ran away from sacred object of worship (to Miharu Village in Hisai, Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture), and then remained silent. By the way, sacred object of worship returned safely to Horidome town.　

　And this story, which had many spiritual experiences, was transmitted, and it became a place to revere in various fields.　<Omitted>

In the history, "Edo Kabuki" and "Yoshiwara Yukaku" are also described.　The next time you visit, please also write your history. I'm sure you'll benefit.

On January 4th of the New Year, you will receive sacred wine, and you will be able to feel refreshed with your body's skin and five organs.

 

 

Friday, January fifth. I went to Tsukiji Market, New Year's annual first market.

　

At the end of last year, Tsukiji Market was officially decided when to move to Toyosu with a busy feeling. It will be relocated in October this year, so if you go on schedule, today is Tsukiji's last first market.

　

A very cold morning. As soon as the beginning of the year, I feel a little lonely, saying, "Is this year relocating to Toyosu?" When you come in front of the torii gate of Namiwa Inari Shrine, there is a crowd of press members on the shrine grounds.

　

What a giant tuna after the auction was displayed with the "first flag" and was shown.

One of the most talked about in Tsukiji's first market is the first tuna auction. This year, it was news several days before the first auction that a very large bluefin tuna was landed at Oma Port in Aomori Prefecture. It's the second largest in history for Tsugaru Strait Oma.

　

It weighs 405 kilograms. Even if you add the weight of Yokozuna Hakuhoseki and Kakuryu Seki, it weighs less than 100 kg. It was auctioned off at a price of 36.45 million yen, making it the highest tuna of the first auction this year.

I hope you will be able to meet such a happy thing early on New Year's Day. I have a good feeling this year, unlike usual.

　

After the media coverage and coverage were over, the show was over, and Tsukiji's last first auction tuna was sent out as "first load" from the precincts of Namishi Inari Shrine.　

　

The word "first load" is often used when goods are shipped for the first time in the New Year.

　

The first shipment is a ceremony to celebrate the auspiciousness, which is said to have started in the Edo era. Was.

　

It is said that around Nihonbashi and Kyobashi, where there were many merchants, it was a natural New Year scenery.

　

The scenery of the first shipment of New Year's Day is no longer visible, but in Tsukiji Market, the ritual customs of this first shipment remain in the form of the "first shipment flag".

　

The flag of the word "Holiday First Bag" and the flag with the company name are tied to thin bamboo and displayed in various places. I also saw him running on the tarre, fluttering in the wind.

　

This New Year's first flag is celebrating the first shipment and wishing for business prosperity. This year, we also hope that the market will be successful.

　

　

I came to the fish riverbank water shrine in Tsukiji Market. Let's finally go to Toyosu this year.

Tsukiji Market opened in 1935. Since then, the scenery of the beginning of the year, which has a history of more than 80 years, is expected to be the last year. If you think so and recall the scenery that you could see today, there is something very impressive.

　

This year, the Tsukiji Lion Festival at Namishi Inari Shrine is the main festival. It's going to be a busy year for Tsukiji.

　

At the same time, it is likely to be a year of attention, which will be the first step toward the new Tsukiji.
