Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

After a cup at Betara-shi @ Otemmacho of Takarada Ebisu Shrine, we stopped by Bakuro Yokoyamacho on the east side.
Since the Edo period, as a post town close to Asakusa Gomon, which was a major downtown area at the time (some Bakuro who bought and cared for horses).
And it has developed as a wholesaler town for many goods, and now it is a town that is working hard as a clothing wholesaler town.

　

On October 1, a 7-story 71-bed hostel "IRORI" opened in a corner of a building in the wholesaler's street.
There is a single / two-tiered bed made of Shimanto cypress, partitioned by a cloth that is good at wholesalers, and a self-catering kitchen.
"Irori," which can be surrounded by everyone and sometimes becomes the protagonist, sits in the lounge with a chocolate and ash.
It is a place where you can feel such a simple and quiet appearance. (3,000 yen per night)

　

It seems to be popular with foreign backpackers, people who are accustomed to traveling, and Japanese who stay suddenly.
In the evening lounge, foreign tourists enjoy blogging while using Wifi, and the two women's group light coffee.
While drinking, chatting while drinking, the Japanese were quietly hitting the PC keyboard.
I feel that the new landscape of Nihonbashi is expanding.

There are only two months left in 2015, and November is a season when events such as school cultural festival, including cultural day (holiday), but in Chuo-ku, this weekend (November 1), the whole Chuo-ku museum is held once a year. Poster information has already been posted on the bulletin board in the city.

The whole museum is held for the eighth time this year, but it is a day like a museum where you can enjoy the various charms of Chuo-ku, as the name suggests, centering on official events held in various parts of the city. In addition to events that convey the history and tradition of 400 years since the opening of Edo, events unique to Tokyo and Japan, such as contemporary and future events, art (exhibitions, performances), environmental activities, barrier-free, etc. (For details of the event, please refer to the information on the Marugoto Museum website at the end of the sentence.)

The venue will be a large area of the entire ward, but on the day, in addition to regular public transportation, free patrol buses (turn left, turn right), boat routes (including 4 routes, tour routes), Edo buses (Free on the day!) There is no need to worry about moving. If you participate in stamp rally, collect three or more stamps at the event venue and fill out the questionnaire, you can also participate in the prize-winning raffle.

Finally, let me know. The patrol bus goes around a route where public transportation such as the metropolitan bus does not pass much, so it is a chance to discover a new Chuo-ku from the train window. In addition, a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association will guide you on the bus, so you may be able to hear special tourist information. 。 。

Please look forward to it!

"Kabuki de Halloween City Wine Festival! 」

It seems to be held this weekend from 11:30 to 16:30 on October 24 (Sat).

Click here for details.↓

Niyantomi is cute, isn't it?

It's the city of Shintomi.

 

It was written that it was a wine festival, so I thought it would be for adults.

There are events to make Halloween bags, and so on.

You can take a quiz and get sweets.

We sell children's books and seasonal vegetables.

Both adults and children can enjoy it with the whole family.

 

Even those who like Kabuki may enjoy the atmosphere.

 

I think I'll go to Shintomi-cho this weekend (^^) /

 

　

 

 

Tsukiji's out-of-market market is always crowded with many people. Not only shoppers, but also tourists who want to enjoy this atmosphere at a glance are coming from home and abroad every day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think there are various purposes for visitors, such as "I want to eat delicious sushi," "I want to buy souvenirs," and "I want to walk around." Lunch time is always very crowded. However, it seems that there are many cases where seafood menus are selected for lunch, probably because the image of "fish market" is strong.

However, there are a number of delicious shops in Tsukiji besides sushi restaurants. There are highly acclaimed shops such as Italian and Chinese dishes, Western dishes, tempura, and coffee shops, so I would like you to visit such shops occasionally.

 

Among them, curry shops have been attracting attention recently. In the middle of the out-of-market market, [East India Shokai] is a particularly distinctive feature with a yellow sign. If you go up the stairs beside the bean shop, you will find it on the second floor. The big red trademark is a landmark.

The curry at this restaurant is deep and carefully cooked with a unique flavor, and once you eat it, it has the charm of eating it again. You can choose spicy as well as regulars. This is somewhat spicy, so be careful for those who are not good at it, but there is an irresistible depth for those who like it.

There are two types of curry: "Kamigami pork curry" and "Tuna cutlet curry". In the former, you can enjoy the sweetness and soft meat quality of pork slowly with curry flavor. The latter is like Tsukiji, a high-quality tuna is dared to be cut into pieces and incorporated into ingredients, and it is in harmony with the curry. Both are hard to throw away, so please visit them several times to try.

 

 

The owner of this shop is very frank. We welcome all those who work in the market, local residents, and tourists. In addition, people who have a playfulness and sometimes hold rakugo events in the store. This year will be held on December 1st, so please visit us if you like. Enjoy walking around the town of Tsukiji, enjoying curry, and relaxing with rakugo is a luxurious way to spend a luxurious time in the city.

This time, we introduced a curry shop that has a strong presence in the Tsukiji Outer Market. Please try the real taste.

 

 

A friend from Xi'an who came to Japan for sightseeing decided to return after a two-week private trip. Actually, I wanted to send it to the airport, but I couldn't take a break on weekdays, so I decided to see it off at the bus stop bound for Narita Airport near Tokyo Station.

There are trains (Narita Express, Keisei Skyliner) and airport buses to access Narita Airport from Tokyo, but since 2012, LCC has begun full-scale operation in Japan, and in addition to the airport limousine bus from Hakozaki TCAT, the cheap express bus (LCB) that departs from around Tokyo Station has started. Today, I would like to introduce the LCB departing from Yaesu, which I interviewed when sending a friend, and its waiting room. Two LCBs are operated from Yaesu, the gateway to our Chuo-ku. One is "THE Access Narita". It is operated by Heiwa Kotsu and JR Bus Kanto, departs Ginza Sukiyabashi-mae bus stop and connects to Narita Airport via Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit JR Express Bus Terminal (Chiyoda-ku) for 1,000 yen.

The other is the Tokyo Shuttle. It is operated by Keisei Bus, and it is also 1,000 yen from Keisei Bus No. 3 bus stop (Chuo-ku) along Sotobori-dori St. (Departure auline Net / Rakuten Travel, in which case it is discounted to 900 yen).

There are more than 50 round trips a day each (3 companies operate 164 round trips per day), and in particular, LCB2 also operates late at night for LCC's early morning flights, so its convenience and low fares (about 1/3 of limousine buses), and it seems that there are quite a lot of tourists not only from Japanese but also from overseas. On the other hand, as the number of users increased, the ride was not a fine bus terminal like TCAT, but a bus from a bus stop that was blowing, so it was a bit difficult to wait for the bus when the rain and wind were strong.

In response to such users' voices, each LCB has a bus waiting room since last year. In the case of THE Access Narita, with the commencement of joint operation with JR Bus Kanto from December last year, the Narita Airport departure platform (until then) moved from the bus stop along Yaesu Street to the JR Express Bus Terminal No. 7 bus stop, users will be able to use the JR Express Bus Waiting Room under the Grand Roof of Tokyo Station.

In July last year, the Tokyo Shuttle also installed the Keisei Express Bus Lounge on the 1st and 2nd floors of the Yaesu Rotary Building along Sotobori-dori St. The Keisei Express Bus Lounge is available from early morning to late night. There are benches where you can sit comfortably and wait until the bus departure time, as well as vending machines for drinks and toilets.

LCC launches not only from overseas but also from all over Japan (Kansai, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Takamatsu, etc.) are increasing year by year, and I think the use of LCC via Narita Airport, where LCC dedicated Terminal 3 has been established, will continue to increase in the future. Chuo-ku is directly connected to Narita by LCB, and it seems that more and more visitors from Japan and overseas can be expected in the future. We correspondents want to continue to introduce secret places that will allow such customers to enjoy Chuo-ku more.
