Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

This year is another few days. In addition, a new year will begin, and I think some people will be entrusted with a new determination for the first sunrise as a start event.

 

I think the first sunrise from central Tokyo has become a standard from the top of high buildings and towers, but it is not necessarily seen from near the ground.

 

The Sumida River flows east and south sides of Chuo-ku, and there is a slight distance to the opposite bank, so there are several places where you can see sunrise without buildings on the opposite bank.

 

This time, referring to past photos, I dared to find a place where I could see the first sunrise from the Sumida River in Chuo-ku. This is an introduction that goes back upstream from the downstream of the Sumida River.

 

 

【１】

First of all, "Kachidokibashi".

You can see the direction of Kachidoki on the opposite bank from Tsukiji, but it is a Tokyo-like sunrise with the sun coming out between the building and the building.

【２】

Sunrise scenery seen in the direction of Toyosu from "Ishikawajima Park" near "Aioi Bridge".

"Ishikawajima Park" is a good place to see the first sunrise.

 

From Aioi Hashigami, the triangles of the truss bridge create a mysterious sight.

 

You can also see it from Nakanoshima, which is under Aioi Bridge. Watch the sunrise while fishing ... It's luxurious.

【３】

You can also see the sunrise from the top of the Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

The photo is from last year (New Year's Day 2013), and although it was a little cloudy, it was the first sunrise seen through the "Messenger Statue" watching the Sumida River.

 

 

【４】

It can also be seen from "Kiyosu Bridge".

The photo is from this year (New Year's Day 2014) and is a very impressive sight. It is a bridge of important cultural properties, but the first sunrise can be said to be an important cultural property class.

※Be careful of traffic because you can't see it unless you go on the road for half a step.

 

 

【５】

Finally, "Shinohashi".

You can see it from the top of the bridge, but the photo shows the sunrise from the Sumida River terrace under the bridge.

This is an introduction of the first sunrise spot from the Sumida River.

 

The sunrise time is around 6:50. The problem will be the weather on the day, but I hope it will be clear.

There seems to be some trains running all night. It might be good to go to new year worshipping after the first sunrise.

I hope you will have the best start of the new year.

 

(Note: Some photos are not from the day of New Year's Day, and some may not be seen due to differences in the position of sunrise.)

You've been stagnant this year too.

In Yagenbori, both countries, the annual “Non-no-ichi” and “Year-end Ode-ko-shi” will be held from December 27 to 29, and this preparation is progressing greatly.

Lanterns were displayed around the immovable shrine.

 

In addition, posters and signboards have already been prepared around Fudoin Street.

 

`` Toshinoichi '' is a city that stands for the purpose of selling decorations for the New Year and Kadomatsu, etc. It is said to be the "Yonoichi City".
In addition, "Year-end Ode-koichi" is a city that provides clothing, bags, shoes, etc. cheaply, mainly by wholesalers and shops in the past Ryogoku, Yokoyamacho, Tachibanacho, etc. (currently Higashinihombashi, etc.).
 
Fifty years ago, when I was a child, "Hagoita" was held along with "Toshinoichi" and there were some markets selling Hagoita. Hagoita was decorated a lot, from expensive ones that imitated Kabuki actors to those that imitated celebrities who became the topic of the year.
Hagoita does not have a fixed price, negotiations begin between the customer and the seller, but rather the seller plays a large abacus and shows the price instead of saying the price verbally. I remember that it was unusual for children. Also, when the business negotiations were concluded, it was fun to borrow the hands of the customers around me and clapping with <Shan, Shan, Shan>.
I'm afraid I couldn't see any shops selling Hagoita.
 
If you have time, please take a look at Yagenbori's "Non-no-ichi" and "Year-end Ode-ko-shi".
This year, from December 27 (Sat) to 29 (Mon) from 11:00 to 20:00.

 

 

 

[December 27, 2014 (Sat)-29 (Mon)]
In the Higashinihombashi area, the year-end market will be held at the end of the year.
In addition, there are shops selling New Year's goods such as rendition decorations.
At the same time, the Depot Market offers clothing, shoes, handbags, daily necessities, etc.
Sold at a low price.
There are about 100 wholesalers.

In the past, Toshinoichi in Tokyo was once paid in Yagenbori fudoson, starting with Fukagawa Hachiman, visiting Asakusa and Kanda, etc.

　

[Last year]

 

 

The peach bar in Kayabacho is a former milk hall Western restaurant founded in 1889.
The current building is built in 1933, and it is a shop with a truly Showa retro feeling.
The location is very close to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, from the Kakigaracho intersection to Nihonbashi.
I went north to the first alley to the left.

　

It's not just a long-established Western restaurant, but the biggest selling-point of this restaurant is its cheapness.
You can eat a set meal at around 500 yen in the business district.
As you can see in the picture, for example, cutlet curry 550 yen, spaghetti
470 yen, hamburger rice 500 yen ...
Not only is it cheap, but the taste also has a strange nostalgic taste than the average.

　

If there is such a shop in the business district, it will not be vacancies.
Even if you go, it is full (1 floor in the store, there are about 10 tables for 4 people)
I think it's better to visit after 2 o'clock.
But please be careful because the store is closed at 4:30.
(Open hours from 11:00 to 16:30)

　

Also, the Showa retro feeling of this shop is wonderful. For example, recently
"Tangular folded paper napkins" that are no longer seen.
It's retro to pipe chairs, tables, and the paintings decorated.
Add 20 yen to chicken cutlet, shrimp fried, menchikatsu, etc.
It's also a great deal of spaghetti.
It's like Showa. (^O^)／

　

I dare to say that smoking is OK.
I was in trouble with the purple smoke attack of the other party, but this is also a Showa-like one.
Shall we decide?
I couldn't see the kitchen, but perhaps the elderly were cooked.
I wondered if I had it. For a long time in this area
I wanted you to be open in this style.

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

 

 

This time, I would like to introduce the yoga studio "Studio + Lotus8" (Studio Lotus Eight), which I am still taking care of during and after pregnancy.

 

 

A 2-minute walk from Toei Shinjuku Line Bakuro-Yokoyama Station or Toei Asakusa Line Higashi Nihonbashi Station.

After exiting A2, turn around the corner in front of Higashi Nihonbashi San Post Office along Kiyosubashi Street and walk a little.

 

Here, Postpartum Yoga and Maternity Yoga classes are held every week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

　◇Mamas home project (Postpartum Yoga and Maternity Yoga)

The reason I started going to school was that I tended to lack exercise before and after giving birth, and my pelvis was loosened, so I decided to move my body, but more than that, I feel that I have been greatly helped in terms of feelings I do.

 

There are doubts and anxiety about childbirth and childcare, but all the students are in the same situation, so I was able to make mom friends while talking about my worries. In addition, the teacher also has children, so it is really encouraging to teach me what I do not understand about yoga as well as childbirth and childcare.

 

You can participate with your baby. The breathing technique I learned was also useful for giving birth.◎

 

 

The spacious, solid wooden floor is comfortable!

 

 

There are also bouncers and toys, so don't worry. You can also go to change diapers or breastfeeding on the way.

 

When I resumed classes about three months after giving birth, my teacher first asked me, "Do you have any physical problems?" Yeah. ...There's nothing in particular. 。 No, I have it!...Speaking of which, I am and I am..."I was surprised at myself who had never thought about my body at all.

I think it's thanks to the postpartum yoga class that I was able to notice such a thing.

 

By the way, at the beginning of the class, there is time to talk about the state of the child and my physical condition every time, so it is also a good opportunity to objectively look back on my child and myself, and the worries of other moms and the growth of the child It is also a valuable opportunity to hear and sympathize and refer to it.

 

 

After the class, the children also had tea time together in this room.

It's fun to talk with moms while being healed by herbal tea.

 

By the way, I'm worried about postpartum weight and body shape ..., but I was almost the same in six months after childbirth.

Muscle strength can still be like a newborn stupid depending on the posture, so it tightens the pelvic floor muscles more (^^;)

You can't train just by holding it. 。 。

 

There were also special events such as the following.

I'm sorry that it has already been finished, but I hope you can refer to the atmosphere from the link.

At the photo session. I'm glad to have a professional photographer take a picture and leave it as a wonderful memory.

 

There are various projects in the future, so be sure to check out the Lotus website.☆

Even in the midst of a busy child-raising, you can spend time facing yourself and your child with a calm feeling.

Reading...It's already December.

　

The Chuo City Library is located in three locations, Kyobashi Nihonbashi Tsukishima.

　

I use the Nihonbashi Library in Ningyocho.

　

It is a complex with Nihonbashi Elementary School and has more than 140,000 books and 170 CD / DVD seats with more than 10,000 titles in the clean building, making it a very comfortable space.

　

In addition, there are many automatic lending machines, so you can easily borrow books by yourself.

　

Of course, there are some kind staff.

　

By the way, I borrowed a CD from Strauss to prepare for the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower Atrium Concert yesterday on December 1st.

　

Why don't you use the Nihonbashi Library during the "winter" of reading?

　

And we recommend the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower Atrium Concert, which offers wonderful programs for the music "winter".
