For Chuo Ward residents, the bus stop at the Yaesu South Exit of Tokyo Station, which is used when traveling far away by Shinkansen or JR conventional lines, was greatly renewed on March 21. This is also an important starting point for customers coming to Chuo-ku from all over the country to go to Tsukishima and Harumi by bus or taxi.
The Yaesu Exit had been under construction for a long time due to the maintenance of the Grand Roof at Tokyo Station, which opened in September 2013, but following the completion of the JR Express Bus Terminal in December, the relocation of the Toei Bus Terminal in March has finally been a beautiful terminal. Has been reborn.
By the way, everyone. Did you know which Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station is in? The name is Yaesu Exit, and many people think it will be Chuo-ku (I was actually the case) this is Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku.
The thick street that passes in front of the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station is Sotobori-dori St. As you can imagine from the name, this is the site of the former moat of Edo Castle, which was divided into Gofuku Bridge (in front of Joyo Bank), Sukiya Bridge (in front of Joyo Bank) and Sukiya Bridge (the monument of silver love, the lighthouse of the inhabitants of the ward Tangible Cultural Property, etc.). Gofuku Bridge, Kaji Bridge, and Sukiya Bridge are gates for entering samurai areas on the outer edge of Edo Castle. From here, Marunouchi on the west side is said to have 24 royal residences such as the Tosa Domain. On the other hand, the current "Yaesu", which is the east side of the gate, is a townspeople area and is Chuo-ku. The picture on the left is "Bikuhashi Snow (Hundred Views of Edo)" by Hiroshige Utagawa (and the second generation Hiroshige), a son of a concentric fire extinguishing concentric son born in Yaesu, Yaesuguchi Kajibashi-dori. It depicts a landscape looking in the direction of Ginza from the commercial and industrial Nakakin head office on the south side of Kajibashi Street. Hikanibashi is a bridge that spans the old Kyobashi River (currently Tokyo Kosoku Doro), and an outer moat flows behind Yuyaki Juri (= grilled sweet potato) on the right side and joins the Kyobashi River. It seems that it was.
Well, I'll go back to the main city bus. From the south exit of Tokyo Station, 15 east and 16 east buses depart, pass through Hatchobori and Shinkawa in the ward, and pass through Tsukuda, Tsukishima (Higashi 16), Minato, Akashicho, Kachidoki, Harumi (Higashi 15) to Koto-ku. It is connected. Not only Tsukishima and Tsukuda, which are famous for Monjaya and Tsukudani, but also a bus that is indispensable for sightseeing in Akashicho, which preserves the history of foreign settlements, but at the same time, Shinkawa Park, Ishikawajima Park, etc. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It may have been difficult to see the cherry blossoms on the weekend at the end of March due to unfortunate weather, but the weather looks good this week. How about taking a bus from the south exit of Tokyo Station and chatting with the cherry blossom viewing of the Sumida River?
On weekends, we will also upload local information on cherry blossoms in Shinkawa and Tsukuda. I'm looking forward to it.
