It's getting more and more autumn.

How do you enjoy the changing seasons?

The scenery in Chuo-ku will also further enhance the autumn color.
 

Speaking of autumn, there are also names such as "autumn of art" or "autumn of sports", but the big attraction is "autumn of taste" that represents the season of fertility.
Since Chuo-ku is a "treasure trove of food", you can always touch various tastes in the city. I'm looking forward to the "taste tour" in the city in the coming season.

 

In order to enjoy the calm autumn mood, I enjoyed "Afternoon Tea" at the 38th floor [Oriental Lounge] near Mitsukoshimae Station in Nihonbashi. Just this day was my birthday, so I was able to feel rich.

 

When I visited the shop, people who spent gracefully in the soft afternoon sun seemed to blend into the scenery. Occasionally, I think it would be nice to have such a luxurious time.

  

Each plate of the tea set is lined with high quality items that the hotel boasts. Above all, scones that can be replaced have a moist and deep texture and are worth not being tasted elsewhere.

 

Furthermore, the lineup of tea is wonderful. Not only classics such as Ceylon and Earl Gray, but also seasonal original teas are substantial, so you can feel comfortable relaxing by the scent of black tea.

 

  

The Nihonbashi area is now undergoing redevelopment, and new faces are increasing. On the other hand, long-established stores are also working hard. We hope that everyone will enjoy a wonderful time in a corner of such an attractive district.

  

Not only Afternoon Tea, but it's also nice to have lunch at a soba restaurant, and dinner after a walk in Twilight is the best. Let's enjoy "Autumn of Taste" for each one.

 

 

Hello, this is Minori.

I went to the birthplace of the Nihonbashi Fish Market, where the statue of Otohime is located.

On the other side of the river is the Nihonbashi Pier, Sojuro Riverside. There is a pleasure boat sailing on the Nihonbashi River.

It was a very nice day and a very hot day, but the dock was crowded.

　

The location is 1-8 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku.

Next to the statue of Otohime, there is a stone monument of the opening of Nihonbashi Fish Market.

"Nihonbashi" is built over the river.

The current bridge is a two-story stone arch bridge, which was completed in 1911 (1911).

The decoration was in charge of the architect Yorinaka Tsumaki.

　

Fish shore

In 1590 (1590), after Ieyasu Tokugawa entered Edo, more than 30 fishermen from Tsukuda-mura, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-kuni (now Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka-shi) went to Edo to create Tsukuda Island, and fishery near Edo. With the permission of running the project, he offered seafood to the Tokugawa family. In the sea at that time, the seafood was so good that it was interesting that it would be too good to pay. So, with the permission of the Shogunate, fishermen began selling seafood on a sales board, also known as a board boat, on the banks of Nihonbashi, where water transportation is good. This is the origin of the Nihonbashi Fish Bank.

The fish shore is located on the north bank between Nihonbashi and Edobashi, and ships loaded with fish went back to the Nihonbashi River and landed on the riverbank. It is crowded with many shoppers from the early morning, and the fish shore in the morning is the daytime playhouse "Nakamura-za in Sakaimachi (Ningyocho) and Ichimura-za in Fukiya-cho (Ningyocho) and Morita-za in Higashiginza in Higashiginza in Higashiginza) Along with Yoshiwara at night, it has prospered so that it is said that "a thousand cars fall in a day." (The vigorous trade of the Edo kids was about to jump.)

After the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 (September 1), the fish shore was decided to relocate to the current Tsukiji Temple, and the 300-year history of the Nihonbashi Fish Bank finally ended.

Makoto Takeuchi, director of the Edo Tokyo Museum, participated in a fun course with a time-slip atmosphere to the Edo period.

　

Edo people who lived an eco-friendly life while getting close to nature, centered on the lunar calendar, even today.
There are lifestyle habits that have been passed down while changing their shape, but they are gradually forgotten.
It was also a time to feel lonely at the moment when I was inferior with mental margins.
