Looking for the Tokyo Sky Tree

[North Yujin] May 26, 2010 09:00

Is the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is under construction in Narihirabashi, approaching 400m soon?

Let's walk in search of the tree seen from the Chuo-ku side.

Considering the distance, first go to Ryogoku Bridge.

Please see the first image from the northern corner of Nishibashi packed.

Next, let's get off to the Sumida River Terrace.

If you look up from the lower side of Ryogoku Bridge, it looks like this.

I'll try to expand it a little.

I walk toward Shinohashi, but I can't see it hidden in buildings on the opposite bank.

 

After passing the bridge, I could see it from around the curve.

Let's take two shots of chotted!

Take a look at the fire boats at Nihonbashi Fire Station and go to Kiyosu Bridge.

The tree can be seen from the northern end of Kiyosu Bridge, but it is enlarged and copied from the middle of the bridge full of the territory of Chuo-ku.

Next, head to the Sumida River Ohashi.

Here, too, it expands from the border of the ward (Sumida River Ohashi center) and captures the Sky Tree over Kiyosu Bridge.

Next, cross the Nihonbashi River and go to Eitai Bridge.

Let's go to the center of the bridge and catch the tree from within the ward.

Thanks to you, I was able to do good exercise for about an hour. 

Everyone, please try it.

[The cat on the slope] May 14, 2010 14:30

The "Classical Performing Arts Appreciation Party" introduced on this blog last year will be held again this year.

Click here for last year's article.

This year, there are plenty of performances such as lectures, Kouta swing, biwa, acrobatics, and dance Jobanzu.

It's a stylish way to appreciate classical performing arts and spend time in the evening during the rainy season.

By the way, it is one of the pleasures to see the Japanese clothes of the customers gathering at the venue.

Ningyocho at 18:00

[Satsuki Yanagi] May 12, 2010 08:30

It is the "Ningyocho Karakuri Ogura" that I saw last year.

You can see "Karakuri" at the right time until 19:00 ...

Instead of going out to the Ningyocho area, I always shoewandered around and couldn't easily meet ... However, for the first time, I was on Ningyocho-dori just at 18:00 (wa-i)!

At 18:00, the upper three windows rotated, and the dolls of the Edo period townspeople appeared.

And the storyteller at the bottom said, "Iwa-Shiko! I will tell you the story of "Iwa-Shiko!" s-tokei2.jpg

At that time, those who came nearby stopped and looked at them with a smile, and hurriedly took them in mobilephonemobile photos.sign01

It's a new eventattraction in Ningyocho.

Walking around Ningyocho's Genji Shop

Ningyocho Suehiro 1.jpg

 

 

On the right side of the Ningyocho intersection a little toward Horidomecho, there is a modern building and an old-fashioned shop-style shop.building

 

 

 

 

 

Ningyocho Genji Store. jpg

 This area is a town that was once called [Genyadana]. It is a stage famous for Kabuki's care kyogen, "Kyoho Ukina Yokogushi", that is, "Otomi-san". There is an explanation board indicating the edge of the street.memo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ningyocho Suehiro 2.jpgOn the first floor of the building mentioned earlier, a sign indicating the trace of Ningyocho Suehiro, which was here until 1968 (Showa 43), is embedded.

It was a famous vaudeville where Showa masters competed for art. Not only Kabuki and rakugo, but this area is a town that preserves the atmosphere of Edo culture.camera

It's fun to take a walk while soaking in a little nostalgic mood.

The strongest power spot

[Satsuki Yanagi] May 10, 2010 09:00

Recently, "power spots" have attracted attention.

Koami Shrine was introduced as the "strong power spot" among the many spots on TV the other day.
koami6.jpg

Why are you lucky?
I heard that during the Great Kanto Earthquake, Koami Shrine also collapsed.
The predecessor, Miyashi, held his body and evacuated to nearby Shinohashi. It seems that there is a legend that the people who evacuated there in large numbers did not fall off Shin-ohashi Bridge itself and saved it.
Also, during the Great Tokyo Air Raid, Koami Shrine miraculously remained intact while the surroundings became burnt fields.
During the Pacific War, Ujiko, who decided to go to the battlefield as soldiers, received bills at Koami Shrine.
Then ... All the soldiers who received the bills have been returned.
It seems to be crowded for a while due to the influence of TV and magazines ... I hope that all visitors (obey the rules and manners and worship) will be able to receive the blessings ... ... I've been asking!
Speaking of Koami Shrine ... It is also famous for "Photagonal Kagura Hall" and "Doburoku Festival", but there is still a great benefit!

There is also a Mr. Benzaiten, so don't forget to go to visit!
