Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

When I took a walk, I found a bill made like a high bill.
When you look closer, it says "Ryukangawa Bridge Park", which is as shown in the photo.
It is a federation of Chuo-ku and Chiyoda-ku.
This is exactly the collaborative work and collaboration between Chuo-ku and Chiyoda-ku (laughs).

It is located on the border between Nihonbashi-Honmachi, Chuo-ku and Kanda-Mikura-cho, Chiyoda-ku.
It seems to be the place where Ryukangawa was located.
It is said that it was reclaimed immediately after the war, but the site seems to be this park.
Takemori Inari Shrine is adjacent to the Chuo-ku side, and Chiyoda-ku side is made of Japanese style.
There are public toilets and playground equipment.
In a small but well-maintained park, people like office workers
The scenery of leisurely reading and chatting was impressive.



 

 

On December 4 (Sun), the 11th Mochitsuki Tournament was held with the participation of neighborhood associations such as Kakigara-cho and Hakozaki-cho. .

In the past, smaller neighborhood associations went to each other just after the 20th, when the New Year is near.

Why did you do this? ？ ？ ？ ・・・・・・・

In the past, there were many people who could not eat rice cakes during the New Year because the gap between the rich and the poor was larger than it is now.

In such a situation, rich people paid out money and put rice cakes in each town and celebrated the New Year.

Today, it is supported by volunteers and inherits old traditions.

Equipment used for rice cake making is stored underground at Nihonbashi Elementary School.

 New rice is delicious, but old rice seems to be better for rice cakes and sushi.

The rice cakes made by a large number of volunteers were put in a pack with yellow flour and red bean paste and distributed.

I purchased the 200 yen ticket first and went with you.

There is also "Udon", and eating freshly made rice cakes and udon on the street is a sense of unity and fun.

           

You can see that the photo above is a great crowd.

 Each neighborhood association set up a tent, gathered in one place, distributed to each tent in the order in which the mochigome was steamed and completed, and delicious mochi was completed in each place.

The girls are jumping ropes lively after finding a little gap in a large crowd.

There was also a matching happi appearance, so I felt like a festival.

I was very happy to hear that the participation of young people living in condominiums in such gatherings is increasing.

 

 

　On December 4 (Sun), we participated in the rice cake milling tournament in Nihonbashi Ningyocho.

Yoshicho, Kakigara-cho, and other town councils each prepared until late the day before and prepared for today's tournament.

　People who steam in a steaming basket, those who carry steamed rice, those who knead, those who grind, those who carry rice cakes, those who stretch, those who roll, etc., are bustling on Ningyocho Street with Owarawa, just like preparing for Ikusa. Was.

With a pestle, swung down with a shout. It's also hard to say.

If you are hit with a pestle (to Thailand ^^^^^)

 

　　According to the chairman of the town,

Here at the Nihonbashi Neighborhood Association, the unity of the townspeople has been firm since the Edo period, and many people always participate in the festival. More than half of the people have come to the town, and their young people seem to be helping happily like residents here for generations.　And it was a squirrel.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　It is the work that experience speaks, not the power of young people (rice cake making).

The method of growing hot rice cakes quickly before steaming rice, steaming, and growing hot rice cakes without burns, all of which have many years of experience.
　"rice cake making" was the best way to organize the neighborhood association.

　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　How about in your neighborhood association?　　　　　　　

 

 

On Sunday, December 4th, each Nihonbashi town council gathered on Ningyocho-dori to hold a mochi-making tournament.
It was impressive to see the children who had experience in turn.
This is the beginning of the year. Ningyocho, which is crowded with worship at Suitengu Shrine, is gradually becoming more and more popular with stalls selling Shinto straw festoon and New Year decorations.

On December 4 (Sun), the Oedo wholesaler festival was held, entitled "One-day wholesaler experience". .

It's a poster.

The main street is the Shindo wholesale district centered on Yokoyamacho wholesale district and Bakurocho wholesale district, and many people have come early in the morning because shops that usually "do not retail" do retail.

You can see the sign of "Walking's de Safari".

Take a look at how crowded it is.

There was also a stall of Hachinohe Senbei.

Recently, there are quite a few shops that usually sell retail.

In addition, the number of unique shops has increased, so please go out.
