The other day, I held a beautiful pink booklet in hand and saw people walking around Nihonbashi. I was worried, and I picked up the booklet. Apparently, it turned out that they are participating in the town excursion-type real treasure hunting event "Nihonbashi treasure hunt phantom cherry blossoms-a hanging from people-".

Recently, it seems that various events have been held that combine "walking around the city" and " solving the mystery".

More Japanese Bashi Treasure Hunting Phantom Cherry Blossom-Suspension Connecting People-[March 16-April 9, 2017 Nihonbashi area]

　Ningyocho is always the home of my heart.

Today, I walked around amazake Yokocho and found a new character, rice cracker at Kameido.　He is a landlady who welcomes you with a smile whenever you visit.

　For lunch, we went out to have a restaurant Yoshimi-tei, but since customers with families were waiting, we decided to do it next time.　Ningyocho Imahan is full of group guests!

Then, while walking around, "Yes, I was inspired to visit signboard architecture built in the early Showa era."

Takayanagi Tofu shop in Ningyocho 1-chome.　The patina of the copper plate tells the history.　Next, let's come to buy freshly made tofu with chopsticks, bonito and ginger.

　In Koamicho, Kiyokawa, a famous eel restaurant.　Sunday was closed. I pledged to my heart to come next time.

Momon-sha for cafes and snacks, peach objects at the top.　I will come after eating eel on weekdays.

　You can see the splendid building of Sanken Nagaya.　It's full of yakitori here in the evening.

　After this, worship at Koami Shrine in hope of protection against misfortune and luck.　It was a fun modern building exploration tour.

The Tokyo Marathon is a festival.

With the exception of only a few people, the majority seem to find significant significance in participating in this tournament.　

He asserts himself with his favorite costumes such as Spiderman and Chaplin.

I can't forget that day this time.

At around 12:20, in front of Takashimaya in Nihonbashi! Isn't a woman in kimono running through? ！！

Have you been running at a distance of 40 km?　Oh, yes!

I couldn't believe it, but I looked closely with this eye.

Soba dog, too

"Tokyo Marathon called Wandaful,"

　On March 20, a "Sumida River Tour" was held to tour the waters around Tokyo from a houseboat, and tour the state of Tokyo's development and the traditional cityscape in a two-hour journey with the explanation of the guide.

The management window is the “Asashio Canal Waterside Purification and Revitalization Effective Utilization Association”, a collaboration project with the Chuo-ku Commerce and Tourism Division.

At 9:30, out of the 600 applicants, 100 winners were divided into 50 flights A and B flights, and boarded the houseboat Senba Maru from the Asashio Canal Ship landing.

The course is Reimeibashi / Triton Bridge ~ Harutsukibashi ~ Asashiobashi ~ Asashiobashi ~ Asashio Ohashi ~ Aioi Bridge ~ Eitai Bridge ~ Eitai Bridge ~ Sumida River Ohashi ~ Kiyosubashi ~ Shinohashi ~ Metropolitan Expressway Route 6.7 ~ Ryogokubashi ~ JR Sobu Line ~ Kuramae Bridge ~ Umaya Bridge ~ Komagata Bridge ~ Azumabashi ~ Komagata Bridge ~

The guide on flight A is a storyteller, Ryutei Shibaraku.

While listening to the light explanation of the storytelling, enjoy the scenery of the historic downtown, where old and new intersect and transform every day, with a different view from the boat, under the beautiful spring sunshine.

You will be reminded of the difficult taste of waterside assets in Chuo-ku.

It is a food walk (buying) at the Ningyocho Imahan side dish main store.

I had it on a bench at the store.

Sukiyaki Croquette (top)

You can enjoy the taste of this half easily.

It's a little sweet sukiyaki taste. It's very delicious even if you don't have anything.

Homemade menchikatsu (bottom).

It's crisp outside. The inside is juzy

I'm going to end with these two, but I don't really care about it.

I also buy sukiyaki meat buns

Thank you for your feast

On March 12 (Sun), at the Chuo Ward Sports Center, the 24th Tokyo Martial Arts Tai Chi Championship was held grandly for Tokyo residents living in Tokyo, and we have been watching the support. When I opened the pamphlet, the mayor of Chuo said, "... With the growing interest in sports for the Tokyo Olympic and Para Olympic Games three years later, the appeal of martial arts Tai Chi, which can be enjoyed by a wide range of generations, is even more I am convinced that it will be transmitted to people and will continue to develop in the future ... "

In this 24th Tokyo Games, "Type 24 Tai Chi", "Comprehensive Tai Chi", "Tai Chi Sword / Sword", "Yang / Chen / Kure / Grandchild Tai Chi", "Junior Tai Chi", "70 years old / 75 years old / 80 years old / 80 years old men and women of all ages 85 member teams and 1 men and women from 35 member groups in Tokyo participated in individual sports. It was a game that reaffirmed the charm of Tai Chi.

Last year (October), the Chuo-ku Tai Chi Federation '16 Fall Tournament was held at Tsukiji Social Education Center, with 20 men and women competitions and group performances of 7 groups ... I watched it.

"martial arts Tai Chi" is a general term for "tai chi", "China martial arts" and "China kenpo", but in Japan, the overwhelming population of "tai chi" enthusiasts (more than 1 million people, more than 70% women) It is becoming increasingly popular as a "lifelong sport" for health and purpose of life that can continue to practice throughout life, while also as an international "competitive sport".
