There is a rock called Kabuto-iwa on the precincts, which seems to have been the origin of Kabuto-cho.

This rock seems to have some origins, but it doesn't seem to have a solid backing.

Warehouses reminiscent of the Showa era

[kimitaku] October 31, 2017 16:00

From Ginza, go south on Harumi-dori St.

 If you go further from Harumi Island Triton Square, you will find Harumi Ohashi.

If you look up the sidewalk from the right side of the bridge and look on the right side, you can see the Suzue Gumi Warehouses beyond the grass.

 Until recently, there were a lot of transportation cars coming and going, but now it's quiet.

 Night walks are a little scary because there is no traffic.

I'm pointing my smartphone lens to take a picture, but it's too huge and doesn't seem to fit into the subject.

There are entrances on each floor, which reminds you when many people were entering and exiting this warehouse group.

 This precious warehouse group that retains the remnants of Showa. The site area is also large.

What will happen in the future?

 It was sunny today and beautifully towering against the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge.

 A 15-minute walk from Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line.

Irifune, Chuo-ku, Sakuragawa Park.

There are facilities in Chuo-ku, such as a women's center and a pumping station.

 

In one corner of this park, there is "Iriichi Kannon Jizo Bodhisattva".

Some say that one of the three came out from the bottom of the river when reclaiming the river.

 

There is "Mushiba Prayer Stone" next to it.

It seems that there have been many people who wish for toothache since ancient times.

Also, there seems to be a story that the surface was originally smooth, but the surface became rough due to a fire.

[Kra-san] October 18, 2017 12:00

The Yaku ancestor patron Festival was held on October 17 at Yaku ancestor patron in Fukutoku no Mori, Nihonbashi, hosted by the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Affairs Association. Many pharmaceutical wholesalers lined up from the early Edo period, and Nihonbashi Honmachi, known as the "medicine town", is still headquartered by many pharmaceutical companies.

The festival originated in 1908 in Meiji 41 (1908) when the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Trade and Commerce Association (currently Tokyo Pharmaceutical Association) welcomed the spirit of the god of medicine from Gojo Ten Shrine (Taito Ward) and went there. . Since 1929 (1929), shrine hall moved to Fukutoku no Mori in September 2019 and was the second festival at the company's palace, following last year. ancestor patron builtReitaisai festival.

At the general worship, a large number of office workers from the neighborhood attended, and several people were purified by Miyaji before wishing for sound health. After worshiping, the "Worship Award" was handed out, and a special stage was set up next to it, dedicated "Festival Bayashi".

 Facing the Asashio Canal, there is a nice terrace.

 Sit down on a bench here and see ships passing through the canal

It's also a good idea to expand the lunch box I bought at Triton Square during lunchtime.
