Sugimori Shrine is a shrine located in Nihonbashi Horidomecho, Chuo-ku.
In the Edo period, it was counted as one of the Mimori (Kasumori Shrine, Yanagimori Shrine, Sugimori Shrine) under Edo Castle.
It is said that the religions of the common people of Edo were gathered, and the lottery lottery was also held.
There is Tomizuka here, which was built in 1920, but it would not collapse during the Great Kanto Earthquake.
After that, Tomizuka was rebuilt in November 1953.
It is said that this Tomizuka is unparalleled and is the only one in Japan.

The lottery that appeared in the wealth of rakugo inns was held.
I thought it was Sugimori Shrine, but unfortunately it was Yushima Tenjin.
However, the inn is called Bakurocho.
It is a shrimp sord of wealth in a rakugo inn. A storyteller
This fall of the wealth of the inn should be said to be "customers, sleeping while wearing sandals."
I remembered that I had mistakenly said, "I'm sleeping with my sandals."

2. Site of Saigo Takamori Yashiki (Nihonbashi Elementary School)
 Around the present Nihonbashi Elementary School, this is where the residence of Saigo Takamori was located.
Saigo Takamori's photographs in history textbooks are unreliable.
It seems to have been questioned in recent years.
The theory is that the upper half of the photo is his brother Tsugumichi Saigo, and the lower half is his cousin Iwao Oyama.

 

I leave Chuo-ku, but some say that the statue of Saigo Takamori in Ueno is not similar.
This is because my wife, Ito Saigo, who attended the unveiling ceremony, said, "Our person is a kid."
There is an episode that surprised the people involved.

The only thing that doesn't look like this is that it doesn't clear what is similar or where it is not.
In addition, I kept my favorite Satsuma dog, and my female dog name was "Tsun".
It was said that it was created based on a male dog because it was dead when the statue was created.
In addition, the actual Satsuma dog seems to be smaller than the statue.

The restoration work was completed and the roof was neatly roofed. It was New Year's Eve that I took this picture.
On this day, the number of people who came to visit us was not interrupted.

 

 

Hot break in cold winter (amazake)

[Tachibana] January 26, 2016 14:00

I went to amazake Yokocho in Ningyocho on the cold Saturday of the twenty-third.

The name of amazake Yokocho is said to be derived from the fact that Owari-ya sold amazake at the intersection of amazake Yokocho and Ningyo-dori.

At present, Mr. Futaba, a tofu shop, can serve amazake at amazake Yokocho.

futaba3.jpgfutaba2.jpg

 

There was a bench in front of the shop, and on this day there were people who were warming up by drinking amazake in the cold.

And what is famous in amazake is Chiyoda-ku, but there are two sweet liquor stores, Mikawaya and Amanoya, located in front of Kanda Myojin Suijinmon.
myoujin.jpgmikawaya.jpgamanoya.jpg

"Mikawaya" seems to have been around since the early Edo period, and "Amanoya" has been around since the late Edo period.

There are people who drink amazake deliciously here too.

It's cold, but why don't you warm your body in amazake during the cold?

 

 

"Toto no Renkai"

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] January 14, 2016 16:00

It was in the New Year's pine tree that passed by a hurry. At the end of last year, I participated in the stamp rally called "Toto norenkai".
Many are located in places called downtown Tokyo (Chuo-ku, Taito-ku, Sumida-ku, Arakawa-ku, Koto-ku, Chiyoda-ku, Minato-ku).
It is a story that he made good legs regardless of the rain and wind while traveling back and forth between Edo and the present (exaggeration! I'm going alone.

 

"Toto norenkai" is a collection of 54 goodwill shops founded in Edo and Meiji eras and has a history of more than three generations and 100 years in Tokyo.
It is surprising that it was launched during the postwar turmoil period of 1951.
Tsukudani, eel, amazake, dumplings, glasses, fruits, laver, lacquerware, Japanese paper, tea, brush, bento, folding fan, toothpicks, etc.
Knife, Inari sushi, sweets, taiko, tempura, sukiyaki, tofu, Western cuisine, soba, footwear, Buddhist altars, dolls, duck, sake, anko pot,
Bread, kimono, hahabahabaki, tabi, hampan, bonito flakes and everyday items such as clothing, food and shelter are friendly.
Meanwhile, 26 long-established brands have shops in Chuo-ku. (Chuo-ku, \ (^ o ^)/)

I usually stopped by several shops, but in the future it seems that I will go more easily.

Temporary use of municipal bicycle parking lots has started.

[kimitaku] January 12, 2016 14:00

At the municipal bicycle parking lot from January 5 this year

Temporary use has started.

DSC_1443.JPG DSC_1445.JPG DSC_1444.JPG

Immediately at the Bizenbashi Bicycle Parking Lot, I tried to use it.

 First, take a bicycle into the bicycle parking lot, then turn to the vacant number 33.

I'll put the front wheel of the bicycle. Then, in about 10 seconds, "Gachan" and the front wheel were cut.

Rock.

DSC_1447.JPG DSC_1448.JPG DSC_1451.JPG

 I'll go back after shopping for about an hour, and then go to the tollgate.

 Enter your number 33 in the number frame.

 Because it is free, the front wheels of the bicycle are released immediately.

 I was able to embark on my bicycle.

 It's still the first attempt, and the staff is waiting.

 When I ask, the first two hours are free.

After that, 100 yen will be required every 8 hours.

 In other words, after placing a bicycle first

It's 100 yen up to 10 hours.

I was kind enough to teach you.

I've got a lot of luggage after shopping.

It's dangerous to go home by bicycle late at night.

I happened to meet my friends and drink alcohol.

It's very convenient.

 Let's enjoy your bicycle life safely using the bicycle parking lot.

For details, please see the December 1st edition of the ward bulletin.

Three Titles of Suzuran Street

[Nojinya] January 5, 2016 16:00

Today, I would like to take up "Suzuran Street" as a theme. When I wrote an article in the past, I mistakenly told me about this street ("Ginza Suzuran Street") (the part has already been modified). This time, I would like to dig deeper into this street so as not to make a mistake as a correspondent who correctly conveys sightseeing information in Chuo-ku in the future.

Majalis1.jpg

Speaking of Ginza Suzuran Street, it is a vertical street from Ginza 5-chome to 7-chome on the west side of Chuo-dori. Compared to the major Chuo-dori, there are not many traffic, but along Harumi-dori St., there is a gate with a large word "SUZURAN ST", which has a presence.Majalis8.jpg

 Furthermore, as you can see in the article "MMM ~ Feel the European Wind in Ginza (/archive/2015/12/mm.html)" dated December 30, it is also a street lined with wonderful shops. Majalis2.jpg[Ginza Tree Fruit Building on Ginza Suzuran Street] ⇒What is this? 。 。 gorilla is climbing the wall!

 

By the way, it is such Ginza Suzuran Street, but in fact, the name of the road changes depending on the location (south and south) in the same Ginza. From 4-chome across Harumi-dori St., the north is Ginza Gas Lantern Street, and the 8-chome is Konparu Street. Majalis11.jpg[Restored gas lamps on Gas Lamp Street] 

 

Majalis10.jpg[Kinharu Street]

 

There are three names on one street and it is not "the first place, the former fish of Hanada", but "(Suzu) Run (Kinharu) Geisha, Ichi (1, 2-chome) is Akari (= Gas Lamp) It seems that a bad Kawayanagi will be created. However, in fact, Ginza has other "Sideyo-dori" (Azuma ⇒ Shigaraki, brick ⇒ west 5 ⇒ watch), so I want to be careful when introducing shops etc. Majalis12.jpg[Ginza Regional Street Map (Chuo-ku Road Section Map was modified)] ⇒1 Azuma ⇒ Shigaraki (yellow), 2 gas lamp ⇒ Suzuran ⇒ Kinharu (red), 3 brick ⇒ west 5 ⇒ watch (blue)

 

By the way, I thought that one case was settled, and "Suzuran Street" had another title. In the article on December 29, "Two MIYUKI DORI (/archive/2015/12/post-2960.html)", we introduced two Miyuki-dori in the city, but there were three "SUZURAN DORI". . ーーIn addition to Ginza, "Suzuran Street" in Hatchobori and "Suzuran Street" in Yagenbori (Higashinihombashi).Majalis7.jpg

[Suzuran Street in Hatchobori]

 

Ginza Suzuran Street is also a wonderful street, but "(Hatchobori) Suzuran Street" was also called "Ginza in Shimomachi" before the war, with movie theaters, vaudeville, dance halls, etc. Furthermore, going back to the Edo period, it was a smart area where cool Hatchobori's husband (powerful, concentric) lived. Here, there is an explanation board by the Board of Education of "Hatchobori Yoriki / Concentric Gumishiki Ruins", which is still introduced on the blog on August 18, "Copitiam-in.html) "is an area lined with many attractive shops. Majalis5.jpg[Suzuran Street in Yagenbori]

And "(Yagenbori) Suzuran Street", this is a little quiet street compared to Ginza and Hatchobori, but there is teahouse's "Horitsu Chapo", which was founded in 1717 in Kyoho 2 (Kyoho 2), and there is a Tokyo branch of Dai Nippon pyrethrum known for its "Kincho" mark, and this red mark has a considerable impact on this street.Majalis9.jpg

[Yagenbori Suzuran Street]

 

 "Suzuran Street" is very popular because of the familiarity and clean image of the name, and there are quite a few of the same names nationwide. Its origin seems to be Kanda's Suzuran Street, but now it has been formed until the Tokyo Suzuran Street Summit, where eight Suzuran Streets (Akabane, Asagaya, Ogikubo, Kyodo, Ginza, Tachikawa, and Narimasu) gather around Kanda.

 

Added: Gaslight Street is already complicated just by the explanation so far, but furthermore, the 2-chome part was previously called "Kanze Street". It seems that the name came from the fact that there was Kanze-Yashiki (the residence of Kanzetayu Iemoto of Sarugaku) here during the Edo period, but this area seems to have a similar historical background to Kinharu-dori on 8-chome. In 2004, there was an application for renaming from the local area, and it was renamed Ginza Gas Lantern Street together from 1-chome to 4-chome (Chuo-ku Government Office Road Section Construction Section).
