Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　From the viewpoint of the starting point of sightseeing in Chuo-ku, this time as the extra edition of Chuo-ku, Chiyoda-ku, but Tokyo Station.

I've made it into an article.

　

  Many people who visit Tokyo for sightseeing or business use Tokyo Station.
By the way, when you arrive at Tokyo Station, whether it's sightseeing or commercial, it's a big luggage that gets in the way.
Also, when buying souvenirs on the way home, large luggage is disturbed.

So, I think that I look for a coin locker and leave my luggage ... but it is really difficult for the coin locker to find an empty locker in almost in use even though it is inside.

 

 

 

If you send your luggage to the hotel in advance, it's okay, but I'm worried about traffic congestion, unseasonable weather, and it's difficult to send it, so I'll bring it with my baggage.

One convenient thing is the temporary luggage storage of Sagawa Express near Nihonbashi Exit.

  The fee for temporary custody is 800 yen and 100 yen higher for 700 yen for large coin lockers, but this seems to be an agreement with a nearby coin locker dealer (Is it a violation of the Antimonopoly Act? ？）

  So, if you have booked a hotel, it is advantageous to use the transportation service to the hotel.
They will be sent to all hotels in Tokyo (including business hotels) and Disney Resort hotels at regular rates.
You can walk to Nihonbashi or Ginza in one bag without returning to pick up your luggage.
Reception is until 11:00 am, but it is possible to accept it even in the evening if you know that the hotel is nearby or that the arrival of your luggage is a little late.
On the way back, you can send your luggage from the hotel and pick up your luggage here and get on the Shinkansen as it is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Nihonbashi Exit is often used as a meeting place for groups, such as school excursions, because there is no taxi stand compared to the main Yaesu Exit.
Because it is vacant and the passage is wide, if you are heading toward Nihonbashi, it is faster and more comfortable than going through Sotobori-dori St. from Yaesu Exit. (especially in case of rain)

  Generally speaking, when using a guidebook or online transfer guide, Otemachi Station is displayed as a transit station to transfer from Tokyo Station to the subway.　However, if you arrive at Tokyo Station by bullet train or other means, Nihombashi Station is far closer to Otemachi Station (about 3 minutes from Nihonbashi Exit) to get on the Tozai Line or Ginza Line, and is more than 10 minutes earlier than to go to Otemachi Station.

   By the way, the transit station from the Ginza Line to the Hanzomon Line is "Mitsukoshi-mae", but it is faster to go out once at "Nihonbashi" and go to "Mitsukoshi-mae" on the Hanzomon Line.　It will be charged twice, so we will not recommend it unless you use a one-day ticket etc.
Especially when transferring from the Tozai Line, you have to transfer to the Ginza Line once at Nihonbashi and transfer in front of Mitsukoshi again, resulting in a loss of more than 20 minutes. I want you to think about it! Mr.

 
   Well, although it is such a convenient Tokyo Station "Nihonbashiguchi", recognition is still low, and although this Sagawa Express store is only six months after opening on March 10, the growth of customers seems to be one thing.

The exterior and interior of the store are modeled on the "Gion Sagawa Express" (Service Center) popular in Gion, Kyoto, and the staff uniforms are designed to entertainhappi coat visitors.
In addition, English, Chinese, Korean, etc. are available for foreign tourists (it may not be possible depending on the time of day and time).

You can also send it to Narita Airport or Haneda Airport, but if you receive it at the airport, you will be charged a handling fee because you use the JAL counter. (Reversely, only normal charges)

 

  In addition, I think that if you can guide and make reservations at this store, and in that case, if the shipping fee is free or discounted, it will be more convenient and the number of users will increase....。

 

 

 

　On September 13, 2014 (Saturday), the 33rd Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador Miss Chuo Selection Final Round was held at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

　From August 28 to 31, there was an event hosted by the "Tadataka Ino 200 Years Chuo-ku Festival Executive Committee". .

This is the 27th Complete Restoration Inozu National Tour Floor Exhibition.　It was a large exhibition that used the second floor venue of the Chuo Ward Sports Center full.

Tadataka Ino was born in 1745 in Kosekimura, almost in the center of Kujukuri Beach, as a child of Sadatsune Koseki and Mine, as the youngest of the three brothers. Later, after bereavement with his mother, his father, who was the son-in-law, returns to his parents' home with only his brother and sister of Tadayoshi (child name, Jiro).

When Tadayoshi was 10 years old, his father, Sadatsune Jimbo, comes to pick him up and lives with his father until the age of 17. At this time, the sake brewer in Sahara, the Ino Saburoemon family disappeared, and the widow was seeking a son-in-law at the expense of Hirayamaga, a relative of the Jinbo family and the Ino family. .

After that, he demonstrated his business talent at the Ino family and enlivened the family business's sake brewing business until the age of 49.　He retired at the age of 49, handed over his family to his son, Keikei, went to Edo to pursue astronomy and calendar, and entered Yoshitoki Takahashi, a 19-year-old Shogunate Astronomical Society.

　Despite having the resources, Tadataka Ino, who has a strong spirit of challenge, is here to demonstrate his essence.

He lived in Kuroe-cho near Fukagawa Hachimangu Shrine, went to school to Yoshitoki Takahashi of the calendar station in front of the storehouse in Asakusa, and set up a observatory at home to observe it eagerly.

When the size of the earth became a hot topic among the calendar scholars, I knew that the difference in latitude between Asakusa and Kuroe-cho was one and a half minutes, so I guess, "I'm going to measure the distance between the two points, I'll decide the distance between Asakusa and Fukagawa, but from the time of my teacher, I think I'll decide the distance between Asakusa and Fukagawa.

 

　At the age of 55, he takes a step in Ezo survey to measure the length of one latitude. On April 19, 1800, he visited Hachimangu Shrine Fukagawa and left for Ezochi via Senju-juku.

In the second survey, we measured the eastern shore of Honshu from Izu.　The results of the first and second surveys were recognized, and from the next third survey, the Shogunate announced that it would be possible to use horses for travel without rent, and the quantity was greatly increased, The village village has now received much generous assistance.　The third survey surveyed the Uetsu region, and the fourth survey surveyed the coasts of Tokai and Hokuriku, aiming to produce a whole map of East Japan.

　The following references show that the survey equipment used at this time was called "intermediate quadrant". At the venue, other surveying instruments were also exhibited. 

 

The results of the four surveys from the first to the fourth are compiled as "East half of Japan Coastal Map", which has been well received at the Shogunate, and has been overviewed by the 11th Shogun Ienari Tokugawa.

According to the 4th survey route map, at this time, the Tokaido was re-measured to Numazu, connected to the Izu Peninsula survey line in Numazu, and began coastal surveys along the Tokaido, followed by Ejiri, Miho Matsubara, Omaezaki, Atsumi Peninsula, and Chita Peninsula, and went from Atsuta to Nagoya Castle to Gifu, Okunigaki, Sekigahara, and Kinomoto from Tsuruga. At this time, I was 58 years old because it was October 7, 1803.

　After that, under the order of West Japan Survey, the 5th and 6th surveys continued. In the fifth edition, we also survey Kyoto, where the cityscape is well-equipped.

　It doesn't seem to be much different from the map used in modern timetables.

In the sixth installment, I also work on surveying Itsukushima.

　

 

　It's a pity that everything you've introduced at this event cannot be expressed on this small blog.

"Tadataka Ino" Daisensei's vigorous curiosity and challenge spirit, I thought that I had to live happily in my future life.

I would like to express my deepest respect to the organizers and everyone who cooperated.　Thank you very much.
