The year has changed, and the New Year's mood has come out. Early in the new year, or at 0 o'clock on New Year's Day, I went to a nearby shrine with my family.

This is Mr. Konpira of Shinkawa. I went to the neighborhood association to see the amazake get.

It would be the officers of the Neighborhood Association, but I thought it was thankful.

In addition to amazake, it was a red and white steamed manju of Suiedo, famous as oranges. It was very delicious.

At the neighborhood association, portable shrine also has a festival. I thought I would try to carry it this year.

On the way home, I visited Oiwa Inari.

The community bus "Edo Bus" in Chuo-ku is a cute bus with a comical cat.

Starting from the ward office, there are two routes: the north circulation that returns around Tokyo Station, Nihonbashi, and Hamacho, and the south circulation that returns around St. Luke International Hospital, Shinkawa, Tsukuda, Harumi, and Kachidoki. There is.

The fare is 100 yen, and the service is about 1 every 20 minutes.

It is very convenient because it goes to related facilities in the ward, such as the inhabitant of a ward center and senior center, and a place slightly away from the station.

"Edo bus map" which published service route and stop, timetable of this Edo bus is distributed at ward offices, etc., but this is a little Chuo-ku guide.

In addition, the content changes every season, and during the cherry blossom season, the highlights of the cherry blossoms along the line are posted, and the one published in September last year is a stage walk map of movies, dramas, and novels. The Mitsui Main Building in Nihonbashi, which was the location of the headquarters of the Tokyo Central Bank, which appeared in Naoki Hanzawa, was also posted.

There are many such famous places, so if you purchase a one-day ticket of 300 yen, you can easily visit Chuo-ku.

The season is the coldest time of the year, but how about going around Chuo-ku using the Edo bus instead of just staying at home?
