　From the north exit of Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, take the "Edo Bus" of the north circulation. From here, the bus "Harumi Liner" bound for Harumi Triton departs and arrives.

Looking at the bus timetable, the Edo bus runs every 20 minutes.

Before that, I enjoyed the stunning row of cherry blossom trees at Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St., which runs from the north exit of Tokyo Station Yaesu-dori to the Takashimaya area. As of March 23, it was close to full bloom.　

　

Take the bus and buy a one-day ticket of 300 yenya. From inside the car, look at the Yoshino cherry tree of Edo Sakura-dori St., which leads to the head office of the Bank of Japan, Mitsukoshi and Mitsui Main Building, and the bus turn right at JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station.　Here I saw a row of pure white Magnolia kobus flowers on Edo-dori St., which leads to Bakurocho Station. The lyrics of "Northern Spring" appear in my mind.　

　The bus turns left at Cored Muromachi 1 and passes in front of Bunmeido.　Cherry trees are also planted here, so you can see the cherry blossoms. Looking at Sugimori Shrine to the left and Tokyo Commodity Exchange to the right, the bus goes from Horidome-cho to Kodemmacho. On Edo-dori St. from Kodemmacho to Bakurocho, you can see a row of pure white Magnolia kobus flowers again.

　Get off at the "Hamacho Station" bus stop in front of Meijiza, slowly see the cherry blossoms at Hamacho Park.　You can enjoy Meijiza-mae and the weeping cherry tree in Hamacho Park from the end of March to the beginning of April.　However, there are also individual differences.

weeping cherry tree was in full bloom.

　Pass through the cherry blossom tunnel on the Hamacho Green Road.

Visiting Suitengu Shrine. Lunch near Royal Park Hotel, Kakigaracho Park, and TCAT.

　Take a stroll to the bus stop "Suitengu-mae" across the road. Re-ride the Edo bus, and the bus passes through Ningyocho Station, Nihonbashi Kumin Center, Shinkawa 1, 2-chome, passes through Kameshima Bridge, Hatchobori, and enters Yaesu Street in front of Ichiyoshi Securities. Enter. Arrived at Chuo-ku government office through Sakurabashi and Shintomi Kumin-mae.　It is a fun cherry blossom viewing trip using the Edo bus.

Even if you get off the bus, look at the red flowers of peach blossoms (Hana Momo) in front of Chuo-ku government office and see them.

I enjoyed the cherry blossoms at Kameibashi Park on a bench and slowly.

Please enjoy the cherry blossom viewing using the Edo bus.

 

 

"Chuo-ku Machikado Exhibition Hall" currently has 22 exhibition halls, and it is a very meaningful and study exhibition hall that introduces the area and its long-established stores.　At present, the exhibition hall stamp rally is being held, and I am with the Shochiku Otani Library in Higashiginza.

I went to Tsutaya Shoten in Tsukiji's "Noren / Japanese lantern / Drawing Exhibition Hall" in the photo below.

　At Tsutaya in Tsukiji, he told us that the cut bags sold by the store were written on a drawstring bag made by Takatora in Nihonbashihamacho.

It was a wonderful story about working together to make better things.

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


Today, March 10th.

It was a normal Saturday, so I took my daughter Azuki for a walk toward the Sumida River Terrace.

On the way.

Many people in front of Hamacho Kuminkan (the children's house is also included, so we are taking care of each other).

And unlike usual, flowers are also offered, and everyone is holding hands together.

Oh, that's right.

Today is the day when the Great Tokyo Air Raid took place.

Today, 1945 (Showa 20), the U.S. Air Force B29 bomber was launched at 0:08 midnight.

Flying over Tokyo, a large air raid occurred, causing the largest damage.

At present, Tokyo Metropolitan Government has designated this day as "Tokyo Peace Day" and seems to be conducting various events.

And why many people gather in Hamacho Kuminkan?

For the reason, please give me this relief.

At that time, there was Hamacho Elementary School here.

And on the night of the Tokyo Air Raid, two teachers and janitors were martyred here.

The elementary school also returned to the ashes.

In addition, many schools were rebuilt to be resistant to fires following the Great Kanto Earthquake.

It seems that many people were evacuated to elementary school.

The power of the U.S. air raids is far more than expected.

It seems that many people who have been evacuated have been sacrificed.

The relief was made by alumni at Hamacho Elementary School in 1990.

"Speak to your children from heaven and protect them.

The gentle people carved in our minds

I pray for the peace of mind and the happiness of your life."

There was something in my heart.

The memory of Great East Japan Earthquake on the next day, March 11, is new.

And it's easier to remember what you have experienced.

(In fact, that day I became a refugee home and eventually spent the night at work.)

It seems that there is a situation where it is difficult to remember the Tokyo air raid.

Nothing.

I think we must never forget the day when we think about the preciousness of peace.

The second half of the relief text

"I swear again that this is the kind of disaster."

I would like to understand this word.

Hamacho Kuminkan (the site of Hamacho Elementary School)

3-37-1, Nihonbashihamacho, Chuo-ku

Sumida River Terrace (prologue) to enjoy walking

Enjoy walking along the Sumida River Terrace from Kachidokibashi to Kiyosubashi. The course departs near Tsukiji Ohashi.

Cross Kachidokibashi, Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Shinkawa Park, Eitai Bridge, Kiyosu Bridge. All walk under the bridge

(Refer to the map)

　

　

During this time, the Tsukishima River Suimon detours and walks on general roads, but there is no traffic light and you can walk while enjoying the scenery of the Sumida River.

　

First of all, last year, the Tokyo Tower was specially lit up for two days, October 27 (Fri) and Saturday, October 28 1000 days before the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The display of 1000 was only one east side (Shibakoen area), and it could be seen between Kachidokibashi and Tsukiji Ohashi, but it was unfortunate rain on October 28.

　

<<<<<<<<<<I can't understand well with this photo or the naked eye, but it's 1000 characters.) >>>>>>

　

　

Another story of last year. Vegetables are high from last year to this year, but the cause is the cold and the typhoon of last year. On the morning after the typhoon on October 22, the Sumida River terrace near Kachidokibashi. It's flooded as shown in the picture. I saw it for the first time that the water surface has risen so far. The sluice gate was also closed.

By the way, from the next time, we will post the Sumida River Terrace where you can enjoy walking under the bridge.

 

 

　From March 1st, "Senshafuda stamp rally walking around Chuo-ku" has begun.　The period is until March 31st (Sat).

To participate, first obtain the stamp rally mount, G Info in the Ginza area, the General Information Center Plat Tsukiji area, Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center in the Nihonbashi area, Ningyocho area in front of the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative Office (Great Kannon Terashita), Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association, Chuobashi area in the Tsukishima area.

　The location of the stamp seal is the same as the location of the above-mentioned mount.　And, if you answer the questionnaire with the participation prize `` Sensha Bill Seal written by Edo Character Craftsman '' that you can always get, the place where you can receive prizes in the area that you may be able to get by lottery is the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center in the Kyobashi area, The first start should be started from a place other than Kyobashi.

　As it was getting warmer, on March 3rd, G Info took a walk from the Tsukiji Outer Market General Information Center Plat Tsukiji and the Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association Cooperative in the Tsukishima area.　I thought it was a bit far to walk to Ningyocho and Nihonbashi, so I came up with a good thing.　

And we used "Edo Bus", the foot of Chuo Ward residents. I got a transfer ticket to the North Loop and went from Tsukishima to Nihonbashi for 100 yen. (Because it was Saturday, the stamp place in Ningyocho was closed.)

　The Edo bus driver was very kind to issue a transfer ticket and also told me where to transfer.

The Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center sells not only stamps but also long-established products in Nihonbashi, so we decided on the items and purchased "Arihei Sugar vanilla Milk Candy" from Eitarou Sohonpo.

I think this will also be popular in the return of White Day. (I'm self-consumption)

At the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the first basement floor of Kyobashi Edgran, I showed a mount and received a participation prize, "Sensha Bill Sticker written by Edo Character Craftsman," which I could always get.

　

I answered the questionnaire and tried the lottery, but I still don't seem to have a lottery.

I enjoyed a little late lunch at a shop in the basement of Kyobashi Edgran, and rewarded myself.

　Well, why don't you take a walk and join the Senshafuda stamp rally?　It's really fun.

※　The participation prize "Sensha Bill Sticker written by Edo Character Craftsman" is a wonderful Edo character drawn by Tsutaya Shoten in Tsukiji. Tsutaya Shoten participates in the "Chuo-ku Machikado Museum".

　The so-called "Weightlifting Hall Building" (Abe Building), which was previously introduced in "Deep Chuo-ku" Kaikan Edition "", seems to be finally dismantled or renovated.

⇒Last article (/archive/2017/11/post-4731.html)

History of the weight hall

　The National Stadium, which began in 2014 with a 56-year history. There was also a training ground for weightlifting World Cup medalists and all-Japan players. However, with the end of the National Stadium, the weightlifting practice area has also moved. In March 2014, an alternative weightlifting practice facility opened on the second floor of this building as Nihonbashi Weightlift Club. The sleeve sign called "Weightlifting Hall" seems to have been attached at that time.

　At the stage of last year (2017), it was confirmed that Nihonbashi Weight Club had already withdrawn from this building, and the name of Nihonbashi Weight Club at the entrance of the building was erased. Only the sleeve sign of "Weightlifting Hall" remained lonely. Therefore, due to the demolition and renovation of the building this time, the signboard will not be seen only a few more.

　And the fact that the lunch shop on the first floor of the building had been working hard at this place for 21 years is something deeply moved in another sense. Thank you very much.
