Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Although it has been a little vacant, it is a continuation of [Chuo-ku sightseeing certification measures] river and bridge.
(Click here for articles on rivers and bridges so far → (1) and (2))
This time, it is said that the junction of the three rivers, the bridge before and after that, and the four bridges are featured.

First of all, about the confluence of the three rivers and the bridge before and after that.
Suddenly, it's a problem!
・What is the first bridge to be built after the Nihonbashi River joins the Sumida River?
・Where is the Nihonbashi River divided into the Kamejima River near (place name)?
・What is the first bridge to be built after the Kamejima River joins the Sumida River?

I don't dare to answer this time, but those who can't answer the above problem suddenly.
Why don't you check before the test?

Next, it is said that the characteristics of the bridge 4 can be effectively remembered by actually seeing, writing (drawing)!

The bridges introduced this time are not all, but each bridge has interesting episodes.
When walking around the town, check the information board at the side of the bridge.
It may contain detailed information that is not available in the text, so it will be a study!

※In this article, we will introduce some of the reasons for this.
　If you learn the contents written here, you will not be able to pass it.
　Please include it in advance.

On New Year's Day, I went around Nihonbashi "Seven Lucky Gods". Perhaps the nature of the land, the gods of performing arts, business, fortune, and school work are in line. The biggest crowd is Suitengu. January 1 The Dog's Day and the birth rush overlap, and it seems to be very crowded. We visited the four companies that prefer elderly people.

On the left ↓ The photo shows Koami Shrine, which was enshrined about 550 years ago at the headquarters of protection against misfortune for good luck, and on the right ↓ The Chanogi Shrine, which is said to be the god of fire because there was no fire in nearby towns.

The left ↓ is "Suehiro Shrine", which has been worshiped for 400 years as a god who gives luck and avoids disasters, and the right ↓ is "Kasama Inari Shrine" Tokyo Bessha, longevity (Kotobuki Oigami), guidance, good luck God.

Last year 2018 was the year when a catastrophe struck, but what about this year? On New Year's Day, we met Yurikamome on the calm Sumida River, and at Tsukiji Honganji Temple, light was shining under the blue sky. According to the temple's manners, I visited the shrine for the first time and received a card of New Year's book [Hikari], General Manager Yasunaga.

Head to "Namishi Inari Shrine" outside Tsukiji. A god that protects the Tsukiji area as a wave-removal Inari, founded about 350 years ago, which was difficult to reclaim the entire Tsukiji area. It was a long line. It is a 15-minute walk from the Sumida River Terrace from here, founded in the Heian period, and is the god of the Kyobashi district, Gunsu Shrine. At the Asama Shrine subsidiary shrine in Fujizuka, which was said to have been a place of worship for Fuji in Edo (right ↓).

The Ningyocho Shopping Street, which runs from Ningyocho Station to Suitengumae Station, is located in Ningyocho Shopping Street.
Every year, during the year-end and New Year holidays, lanterns are served along the street.

At night, the warm lanterns illuminate the streets and create a wonderful atmosphere.
Is it like an illumination that looks like a downtown area in Edo?
Ningyocho-dori is a street where you can enjoy various changes in outfits throughout the year, but I like this year-end and New Year lantern decoration best.

Lanterns line up at the entrance of "Daikanonji".

At the end of the year, Ningyocho-dori will become a “Toshinoichi” and there will be stalls selling Shinto straw festoon decorations. (Note: 2018 has already ended.)

In this season, besides Toshinoichi, you can hear the voices of the town council's `` Beware of Fire '' and the sound of claps, and `` Torichika '' and `` Torichu '' who are famous for egg grilling Many people come to make reservations, and on weekday nights, there are many people returning from the year-end party, and the city of Ningyocho is full with the end of the year. And at the beginning of the year it will be a different crowd of people in new year worshipping.

In any case, it is a season when you feel that the various activities of those who live, work, and visitors in this city are shaped like this "lively lively". I would like to work hard as a correspondent next year as a tourist association so that I can well convey the charm of Chuo-ku's “lively lively”
