Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　The Tokyo Marathon 2017 was held on February 26 (Sun), and "Wilson Kipsang" from Kenya, who has greatly updated the tournament record of 2 hours 3 minutes 58 seconds, won the championship.

I went from Nihonbashi Muromachi, where the course was changed this year, to Kyobashi, Ginza, Sukiyabashi, and beautiful Chuo-ku, which became picturesque, supporting the players, and seeing volunteer activities of everyone along the road.

The Mitsui Main Building in Nihonbashi Muromachi and the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi store are both important cultural properties.　It's a refreshing smile of the runners running in front of them.

　The runners passed the "Japan Road Mark".　"Nabashi Nihonbashi" is also an important cultural property.

　Mimi of Japanese food from Cored Nihonbashi.　We had a tasting sale of warm and delicious sea bream soup and flying fish soup stock. I ordered a third cup of sea bream, flying fish soup, sea bream soup, and a third cup of replacement, and purchased "sea bream soup".　It was a very thankful tasting sale when it was cold.　This is 10km point.

　By the way, in front of "Haibara" of Tokyo Nihonbashi Tower, a dancer from Fukagawa danced cheerfully and supported the runners.

　Even before Takashimaya, many people cheered their voices hoarse and supported them.　This building has also been designated as the first important cultural property as a department store building.

In front of BVLGARI.　Foreign runners also run through.　It's an international competition.

　The runners turn right in front of GINZA PLACE, the corner of Ginza Mitsukoshi, and run toward Sukiyabashi.

　Runners passing in front of Wako Building.　Did you care about your watch?　The official timer of this tournament is SEIKO.

　My throat was a bit dry, so from Kiriko Rounge on the 6th floor of Tokyu Plaza. While drinking a little coffee, look down at the intersection of Sukiyabashi, and cheerful runners will run through.　This is 30 km away.

12km away.　We cheered, "Do your best to the goal," and enjoyed a stroll from Marunouchi Nakadori to the goal of Wadakuramon.　Well, after all, the buildings in Chuo-ku are beautiful as pictures.

　Okamezakura of Nihonbashi Honmachi "Ajisai-dori St." is blooming.

Okamezakura is said to have been created by a British cherry researcher by crossing Mamezakura and Kanhizakura, and is characterized by early blooming, single light red, and blooming in a downhill manner.

In particular, the calyx is dark red and stands out.

The name is said to have been named after "Okame", which is said to have been a beautiful woman in ancient times.

The height does not grow so much and the branches do not spread much, so it is said to be suitable for planting small land.

I heard that it started with a scale of 26 trees, mainly at Nihonbashi Honmachi 1-chome, but now there are rows of cherry blossom trees all over Nihonbashi Honmachi 2-4-chome and the border with Chiyoda-ku.

In the lobby on the first floor of YUITO, a display will be produced from March 10th to April 10th, inspired by a row of cherry blossom trees on Ajisai-dori St.

In February, we will guide you to Edo-like friends in the daytime of Kabukiza. It's the first group appreciation, but I'm looking for "4,000 Ryo" "Temmacho Nishi Daigogi". It is a place that has been very popular since the premiere due to its realism.

In 1855 (1855), the former smallest person Fujioka Fujioka Fujijuro and Tomizo of Noshu Mujuku stole 4,000 cars from Gokinzo in Edo Castle, and it was impossible to perform in the Edo period in Ryuishi. The main character was also real name, Tomizo Fuji, the fifth generation Kikugoro Ichikawa, 5th generation Fujizo, 7.

The place of this "Temmacho Nishi Daigoku" which attracted a lot of attention. The source of information for Miku Ami is Nariyoshi Tamura, who had a friendship with Kikugoro the fifth generation. Nariyoshi Tamura was adopted by Kintaro Tamura, who played the role of prison concentric and key, and he himself has worked in prisons, and the realities of prisoners and customs are thanks to this. Nariyoshi Tamura later served as a counselor for Kabukiza and effectively ruled Kabukiza until the management right moved to Shochiku at the beginning of the Taisho era, and was called "Tamura Shogun". ("Kabukiza Godai," Toshihiko Ishiyama)

This time, Kikugoro and Umetama of the current generation will be performed, and the prisoner will be Sadanji.

"Chikuma Miso", which appears on the line called "Misohachikuma Limited Rurunou" at the first place of the beginning, is still at the base of Eitai Bridge, and as you know, "Behaved amazake" when Akaho Nanji was withdrawn.

After the theater, I moved to a nearby cafe and said, "How to use the board that hits the prisoner, the long line that tells the prison method is amazing," and when it comes to the story of "Temmacho prison site", everyone loves Edo with drifting stones, I have gone. At the entrance of Jushi Square in Nihonbashikodenmacho, there is also a model of an elaborate prison, and if you look at the play or see it after seeing it, you will leave it to you. It's a popular kyogen, so if you miss it this time, please look forward to the next time.

This guy~, the auspicious is Awai from spring

(I'm sorry for the company employees, but I used it immediately at the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store.)

This is an essential part of walking around Nihonbashi and Ginza.　

The "Matazo Kayama Exhibition", which is well known for its splendid decorative folding screen paintings and works of mysterious and attractive cats, has begun.

Looking at the profile of the venue, "I received the Order of Culture in 2003. He died the same year, and I was surprised again that he had died so much. This time, from experimental works based on animals from the 50s and 1960s that debuted as a Japanese painter, Rinpa's "discovering tradition", "life hymns" in the era when nude women with a new sense were reputed, "return to tradition" and the diverse world of the artist. There are also original designs of kimonos and pottery works, and you can understand the catch of the pamphlet "Great of innovation and decorativeness". Travel to Yokohama, Osaka and Kyoto Takashimaya.

Until March 6

　At 9:10 on the 26th (9:05 for wheelchairs), under the fine weather, the Tokyo Marathon 2017 started in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building with a gun signal.

From this time, it was changed to a flat course that runs more in the city center from two viewpoints, "to further promote the splendor of Tokyo both inside and outside" and "to make a high-speed course that can aim for records", and after the start, Yasukuni Dori-Sotobori-dori St. ~ Mejiro-dori St. ~ Yasukuni Dori, run right at the Chuo Sudacho Tokyo intersection.

About 30 minutes after the start, the top group approaches "Oedo Nihonbashi" almost as expected passage time, and is wrapped in loud cheers.

This is the first scene to see under the nameplate of "Nihonbashi" on the highway.

I heard that more than 10,000 volunteers will support the operation of the tournament, but in front of Nihonbashi Colled, one of the venues for the runner support event, a gunshot music will be played, and participants from athlete runners to fan runners will be cheered and excited.

（9:40～11:00）

The runners will then head to the Ryogoku / Fukagawa area of the Shitamachi area, which has also become a new course.
