It is a brand-new shrine located in Nihonbashi Honmachi.

　
It seems that the auspiciousness is unknown, but according to the information board, it seems to be a shrine that has been popular with people in Nihonbashi since the early Edo period.
The shrine was once destroyed along with the rebuilding of the adjacent building in 2013, and it seems that it was newly built in 2016.

After seeing a number of wonderful embroidery at Echizenya's storefront, I decided to explore the underground shopping mall of Tokyo Station today.

When you go down the nearest underpass, there are many shops in business.

　At the Marugoto Museum parade, which is held every year from the end of October to the beginning of November.

We use this facility and have lunch of Anchina short.

　What I visited today is a shop right down the stairs, a set of 948 delicious udon and small bowls, which can be eaten at a low price.

For lunch, we will give you an appropriate amount at a reasonable price.

The seafood bowl / udon set is a seafood bowl using delicious oudon and red tuna.

The price is ￥580, including tax. From 4 o'clock in the evening, you can enjoy Kushikatsu and sake set ￥780. I think it's a worthy shop than a drinking tavern.

　At the nearest Echizenya, there are plenty of handicraft supplies and wonderful works on display.

I always want to enter the store, but it's popular and shy with female customers. Click here for the website of Echizenya.

Tokyo Station on Saturday evening. Oh, it was a hot day today.

I had to go to Kachidoki Station in Chuo-ku from now on, so I searched for a bus stop bound for Fukagawa Garage, which is out of Yaesu Exit.

You can get to Kachidoki by using a bus that leaves the south exit of Marunouchi. Moreover, while watching the streets of Yurakucho, Ginza and Tsukiji. But today, I tried to make a Toei bus from Yaesu Exit.

If you are not familiar with Tokyo, the bus stop on this route may be a lot of unfamiliar names.

　　　17:46 Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station

　　　17:47 Street 3-chome

　　　17:49 2, Hacchobori

　　　17:50 Kameshima Bridge

　　　17:51 Shinkawa

　　　17:54 2, Shinkawa

　　　17:55

　　　17:57 3, Minato

　　　17:58 Akashicho

　　　18:00 In front of St. Luke Hospital

　　　18:01 7, Tsuiji

　　　18:03 Kachidokibashi Minamizume

　　　18:04 In front of Kachidoki Station

This bus passes through a deep area with a dark downtown color in Chuo-ku. The number is small, but every time I ride it, it tastes different, so I sometimes want to ride it. We lined up in line, boarded the bus, and today we took a position in front of the bus for the first time.

The bus runs straight from Tokyo Station on Yaesu Street toward Shinkawa and Tsukuda. The left side of Yaesu Street was the old Nihonbashi Ward, and the right side was Kyobashi Ward, so it runs along that border.

After passing the "Peace Bell" at the intersection with Chuo-dori, you will stop at the mysterious bus stop "Dori Sanchome" with a mysterious name.

The origin of the name is neither Yaesu Street nor Chuo-dori. It seems to come from the old town name "Tori".

Today, Chuo-dori is the path of the Tokaido that stretched from Nihonbashi in the Edo period, and the name of the elongated town that flourished along the road between Nihonbashi and Kyobashi, the first section of the Tokaido is "dori". It is a commercial area that flourished since the beginning of the Edo period.

Although the name of the town disappeared in 1973, it left its name at the bus stop. It's a nice bus stop.

The bus passes through the business district, crosses the Kameshima Bridge over the Kamejima River, and enters the Shinkawa area.

The name "Shinkawa" is derived from the name of the canal that used to flow east and west, but it has now been reclaimed.

At the next Sunday Fukagawa Hachiman Festival, 55 mikoshi shrines will be cruising around here. It's a very favorite summer festival because mikoshi crosses the two popular bridges of the Sumida River.

From Fukagawa, we cross Kiyosu Bridge, pass through Hakozaki and here Shinkawa districts, cross the Sumida River at Eitai Bridge, and return to Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine in Fukagawa. In particular, the area around Eitai Bridge is a popular area full of spectators.

The scenery of "watering", which is a feature of this festival, can be seen in various places, and just looking at it, it is a summer festival where you can experience and impress the passion of the people involved in this festival.

In addition, since the Shinkawa area is used for a break time for lunch, it is also a place where the mikoshi museum is in the meantime. It may be a good place for those who want to see the magical mikoshi itself.

By the way, if you go straight along Yaesu-dori as it is, you will cross the Sumida River at Chuo-ohashi Bridge. But the bus turns right after a goodbye on Yaesu Street.

If you think it has turned, stop immediately at the bus stop of Shinkawa 2-chome, and when you start, turn left without crossing Takahashi in front of you. I'm getting in a hurry.

This hurriedness raises doubts that the bus may have to choose Minami Takahashi to cross the Kamejima River.

Minami-Takahashi is a stylish bridge among the bridges around here. It uses the members of the former Ryogoku Bridge, which was rebuilt during the reconstruction of the Great Kanto Earthquake, so it is full of retro feeling. Choosing this bridge to cross the river also makes this bus a lot of trouble.

The bus runs in front of Teppou Inari Shrine. The bus stop is also "Tegunsu". It's an interesting name. It is said that the Sushima, which was once near the mouth of the Sumida River, had a long and elongated shape like a gun, but the interesting name is a little boring.

Akashicho is the end of the elevated bridge of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge. We enter an area called "the birthplace of ◯◯◯" with many stone monuments and monuments.

This area was the first to enter a new foreign culture in Tokyo as a `` Tsukiji Reservation Site '' after the opening of the country, but the origin of the name Akashicho in the first place is similar to the scenery of Akashinoura in Hyogo Prefecture There is a theory that it was.

People in the Edo period must have regarded Tsukuda Island, which floats beyond the sea of Akashicho, as Awaji Island, as well as imagine that the beautiful Edo seascape was spreading.

I stopped at a bus stop in front of St. Luke Hospital under the Bridge of Peace. The godmother of this "Bridge of Peace" is Shigeaki Hinohara, who died at the age of 105 the other day.

I hear the sound of the bell. It is the sound of the bell at 18:00 at St. Luke Hospital. A good melody flows in a place with a good atmosphere. Along with the sound of this bell, Dr. Hinohara's thoughts on peace will be passed down under the sky of Akashicho.

And the bus passes through the city that used to be called Odawara-cho. Some people call this area back Tsukiji, and there are many hidden famous shops, but when you enter the road behind the alley, unexpected architecture appears in front of you, and it is also a place where you are surprised .

Turn left at Harumi-dori St. to Kachidokibashi. I thought that the most cool thing about this bridge was when I drove my own car and crossed it. So today I wanted to take a look at the bridge in front of me. After all, I think it looked better when I drove myself.

Crossing the bridge is Kachidoki. I went around various places, but it was surprisingly quick.

I had time, so I got off at the bus stop of "Kachidokibashi Minamizume". Today, the dusk of the Sumida River seems beautiful, so I decided to go back to Kachidokibashi a little.

There were a lot of clouds, but I was able to see the dark water. It's a good view. After a little more, the Tokyo Tower will be turned on, and many houseboats will appear.

I was on the Sumida River Terrace and wanted to cool down in the evening, but I had to go to the station. I was forced to leave this place, walk to Kachidoki Station, and finish a short excursion.

This is rosemary sea, which showcases the capacity of "gifts and enjoy yourself".

Shimane antenna shop, Nihonbashi Shimanekan, here is the last introduction.

⇒ /archive/2017/08/post-4532.html

I'd like to introduce you to Shimane's happiness.

This time, I also took care of Mr. Kurinomiya, Director Yasui, and Mr. Irie of the Nihonbashi Shimanekan Shimane Prefectural Tokyo Office.

Throat

Kei Nishikori from Shimane Prefecture, is a famous story that when he returned from abroad, he answered "throat" as "What he wants to eat now".

Originally, it is a fish named "Akamutsu", but it is also known as "Nodoguro" as a high-class fish.

It's true that the back of the mouth is black.

If you dry it overnight, bake it and put it on a plate ... it's irresistible.

Ago noyaki (Agonoyaki)

It's regional cuisine in San'in district.

A chin that goes north in the Sea of Japan for spawning.

This is made into surimi, seasoned with sake or mirin, kneaded to a stick and baked.

The chin has a pale taste without habit, but the soup comes out.

"Achin no Yaki" is similar to a chikuwa, but this is generally larger.

The origin of the name "Noyaki" is related to its size.

In the past, it was baked on an indoor charcoal fire, but because of its size, it closed to smoke and began to bake at eaves and outdoors.

That's why "Noyaki".

By the way, "chin" is so delicious that the chin falls.

If you cut it and put it on a plate, it will be a dish, but it is also recommended to eat it as it is.

I'm a favorite of Rosmari.

Rice, Sake and amazake Corner

Shimane's water is delicious, so the rice that can be made here is top, and even more delicious rice and water ... There are also high-quality sake in Shimane.

In addition, amazake is also recommended.

How about a delicious Shimane?　

On the day of the interview, "Nitamai" was also introduced at the store.

It is Koshihikari from Okuizumo-cho, Nita-gun, Shimane Prefecture.

According to the Japan Grain Inspection Association's Rice Taste Ranking (FY2015), it is said to be "Special A", and therefore "East Uonuma Koshihikari, West Nita United States".

Rice grown in Tanada in the mountains of the Chugoku Mountains is stored at low temperatures with rice husks as it is harvested, so to speak, "living rice".

This fresh Nita rice is hushed and milled immediately before shipment and lined up in the shop.

Care must be taken to preserve it, but you can keep it delicious.

※　The introduction of Nita rice at the store was from August 1st to 3rd.

However, the product itself is handled at the rice corner etc.

Tour of shrines and places related to mythology

This time, I would like to introduce only one from the tourism section.

Shimane is the country of the gods.

It is also a place related to myths described in Records of ancient matters, Chronicles of Japan and Izumo-no-Kuni Fudoki.

The pamphlet also introduces 58 locations, led by Izumo Taisha Shrine.

Traveling by car seems to be tasteful.

Of course, other means of transportation.

I would like to go around the power spot tour with a red stamp book in my hand.

・・・ The staff here, the advice of the trip to Shimane is even more heated.

Please drop in when traveling to Shimane or considering it.

I'm sure you'll be satisfied.

Once again, the news

Nihonbashi Shimanekan will be temporarily closed from September 19, 2017 (Tuesday) due to the earthquake-resistant construction of the tenant building.

The reopening is scheduled for February next year.

In addition, it seems that tourist information and settlement consultation will be operated at the temporary office even during the closed period.

Ichiishibashi was originally called Yatsumebashi because you can see a total of eight bridges, Tokiwa Bridge, Zenbe Bridge, Dosan Bridge, Gofuku Bridge, Nihonbashi, Edobashi, Kaji Bridge and Ichiishi Bridge. .

　This is a ukiyo-e painting of Hiroshige, where you can see Zenbe Bridge and Mount Fuji.　　

　　It is one stone bridge seen from the Nihonbashi River.

The last replacement of the wooden bridge was carried out in 1873, and according to records at that time, it is said that the bridge length is 14 (25.2m) and the width = 3 (5.4m). As you can imagine, the bridge in the Edo period is also expected to be about this size.

The wish of a child

From the Edo period to the Meiji period, the neighborhood was a considerable downtown area, and many lost children came out. At that time, there was a rule that the locals would responsibly protect lost children, and in February 1857, the local people of Nishikawagishicho built a "Mitsuyohiko's Shirube" in Minamizume. Was built.

On the right side of the signpost, there was a hollow at the top, engraved with "the person who is willing" and on the left side, "the person who wants to do it". The usage is to put a piece of paper with the characteristics of the lost child or inquirer on the left depression, and if you have any idea among the passers-by who saw it, put a piece of paper with that effect on the hollow to inform the lost child and the inquirer. It is. In addition, it seems that many of them were installed in places with many traffic, such as the precincts of Senso-ji Temple, the precincts of Yushima Tenjin, and Ryogokubashi Hashizume.

It was designated as a historic site designated by Tokyo in September 1942, and was changed on May 6, 1983, and was designated as a Tokyo designated Tangible Cultural Property.

I would like to introduce a rakugo called "Jutoku", which is a topic of Ichiishibashi, so please relax.

***********************************************************

There was a man who was usually acquainted with me, and on his hairdress, a friend asked me, "What do you say the strange kimono you are wearing these days?" I went to the retreat.

The retirement shows the kimono that he is coming to and says, "This is called Jutoku. It's like a clothing if you stand up, like a haori if you sit down, it's like a haori, and so much (5 + 5). " (The following two photos show a jutoku. It is shown for reference.)

　　　(There are words called shakuyaku if you stand up and peony if you sit down, but in rakugo, you don't have much enthusiasm, saying, "If you stand up, it's like a clothing, if you sit down, you'll have a haori.")

"The bridge called Ichiishibashi was built by Goto, a kimono shop in Gofukumachi, and Goto, who used Koza in Kanafukicho, to replace the bridge that collapsed in the earthquake. Goto (Goto) and Goto (Goto) is a stone. " It was good so far, but when he returned to his hair bed and started talking with a familiar face, he forgot it neatly and became very weak. Some omissions ... "It's different, it looks like a clothing if you stand up, it looks like a haori if you sit down, it's Nitari, yes, this is (2 + 2)"

In the end, Mr. Hachi was a seat that explained "Tokutoku" very much, but (2 + 2 = 4).

********************************************************

In this way, the origin of the name of Ichiishibashi was so famous that the name of the name appeared in rakugo.

Rakugo is not something to read, but something to listen to. I'm sorry. You can listen to "jutoku" such as Danshi on Youtube. I hope you will listen and laugh while watching the blog.

　The statue of Jan Jooss Ten is located in the separation zone between Tokyo Station Underground Shopping Center and Yaesu Street.

The bronze statue of the underground shopping mall at Tokyo Station was only gone more than 10 years ago, and the location was quite moving.

The information center in Main Abe New Underground, which descended from the central exit of Yaesu, gave me a very kind reception and told me the location.

　From the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, go down from Yaesu Chuoguchi, turn right at the corner of SoftBank, pass the Chinese food "Hon Naruharu", next to the ramen shop "Yugametei", Jan Jooss Ten and Usuki, Kyushu. The route shown by the Dutch ship "Leafde" and the ship was shown.

　From the southernmost Cape Horne of Chile, head south through the Atlantic Ocean (in the book I read, sailing through the canals through the inland of Chile),

　It is said that it drifted off Hawaii and to Usuki in Oita, Japan.

At this time, the English sailor William Adams was also on board. William Adams (later named Anjin Miura) was given a mansion in Nihonbashi, and the town name Anjincho was born.

　In the separation zone of Yaesu Street, there is a statue of Jan Jooss Ten's face along with the "bell of peace" established one year after Chuo-ku declared peace.　Every year, I think in the hot summer, I hope the world will be peaceful without conflict.

Here is the explanation of the bell of peace.
