The station in Chuo-ku is all underground.

[Koedo Itabashi] April 30, 2010 08:30

When enjoying a walk in Chuo-ku, it is important to use the developed subway network well. I feel this from my daily experience.

Well, where is the starting point of the walk?

On the JR Line, Tokyo Station is the gateway to the capital Tokyo. For access to Ginza, Yurakucho Station. Kanda Station to Nihonbashi and Muromachi. Each station is a base for transportation, and it is a convenient station for changing trains and shopping.

 

But if you look at the location of the station, that's right. It's not Chuo-ku.

Tokyo Station and Yurakucho Station, which leads to Ginza and Nihonbashi, are Chiyoda-ku. On the way north from Tokyo Station to Kanda Station, the Yamanote Line enters Chuo-ku near Shin-Towa Bridge, but when you arrive at Kanda Station, it is Chiyoda-ku.

Shimbashi Station, the nearest station to Hamarikyu Garden, belongs to Minato-ku.

 

JR stations in Chuo-ku are located on the Sobu Main Line, which connects to the Yokosuka Line under Tokyo Station, and there are two stations, Shin-Nihonbashi Station and Bakurocho Station.

In addition, Hatchobori Station is located on the Keiyo Line, which leads to Chiba on the Tokyo Bay shore from the Keiyo Line platform under Tokyo Station.

These three stations are all underground stations.

The Sobu Main Line crosses the Sumida River and appears on the ground in front of Ryogoku Station in Sumida-ku.

The Keiyo Line goes out to the ground near JR Freight Echinakajima Station in Koto-ku and extends to Shinkiba Station.

 

All the subway lines are underground stations, and all the railway stations in Chuo-ku are underground.

In the process of extending the railway, you probably went underground to make effective use of the land.

In short, the best way to know Chuo-ku is to make full use of underground stations.

If you are tired of strolling in Chuo-ku, go underground.

[Yurikamome] April 16, 2010 10:00

It is said that "Matsu no Chaya" was built by the 11th Shogun Ienari.

During the 50 years of reign as a general, there were 248 visits to Hama Goten (the general went out of Edo Castle).

It is said that many guests and retainer were allowed to see the garden.

The origin of the name "Matsu no Chaya"

   It is said that he was surrounded by pine ... or a picture of a pine was drawn on a door shoji ...

    Both gyoko and turmeric are kind of cherry blossoms. 

    Please take a look.

    At first it is green, but at the end of the flower, red streaks come out and the flower becomes dirty.

Antarctic observation ship "Shirase" has returned to Harumi Wharf this morning (around 9:50).

I left Harumi Wharf on November 10, last year, but fulfilled my five-month mission and greeted me in full spring.

I did it.

The 50th South Pole Regional Observation Winter Squad and the 51st South Pole Regional Observation Summer Squad should return by air from Sydney on March 19th.
