　On October 28, 1000 days before the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, a large-scale decoration using emblems and portraits of athletes, entitled "Nihonbashi City Dressing for TOKYO 2020" was launched in the Nihonbashi area, entitled "Nihonbashi City Dressing for TOKYO 2020" (decoration of the entire city with large graphics, etc.). (until November 29)

The theme of this year, which is celebrating its third year, is "WE MAKE 2020".

More than 150 athletes and the general public in order to experience the Tokyo 2020 Games, which includes not only athletes but also viewers and supporters, using the entire city of Nihonbashi, the appearance of more than 150 athletes and the general public Is decorated throughout the city.

The Tokyo 2020 Games are gradually approaching.

The city is wrapped in an exciting Olympic and Paralympic movement.

 

 

　
I'm in reading week to get acquainted with books.

　

　The library of the city meets the needs of the people who live in the city.

It was the entrance of familiar information that grasps and responds to it.

It's a coincidence. And through a variety of events

I think you're looking for a new community.

　

　

The event will be held at the Nihonbashi Library, which was renewed in April of this year.

　

"Nihonbashi Shrine Exhibition"

　Photographs and maps of the enshrined deity and history of shrines in the Nihonbashi area

It is introduced and related books are curated.

In addition, the permanent Nihonbashi corner, Edo, Tokyo, and Chuo-ku.

The history and geography of the museum are also substantial.

　Understand the functions and characteristics of familiar libraries and utilize them well.

I want to do it.

　
◆Nihonbashi and Shrine Exhibition

Date and time: 10/27 (Fri) to 11/23 (Thu)
Location: Nihonbashi Library Exhibition Corner 7F
　　　1-1-17, Nihonbashiningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

　

 

 

At the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo Film Center, which stands on Kyobashi 3-chome, Kajibashi Street, as a special feature of "2015-2016 in memory of the deceased filmmaker" held from July to September of this year, "Setsuko Hara" will be selected from November 9th (Thursday), a collection of works performed by actress Setsuko Hara will be held.

The exhibition will be held on November 9 (Thu), 10 (Fri), 14 (Tue)-17 (Fri), 21 (Tue)-23 (Thu).

Speaking of Setsuko Hara, he was a former female actor who appeared in the work of Yasujiro Ozu, and the name "Gin Maku no Dai Star" was perfect.

"Late Spring", "Wheat Autumn", "Tokyo Monogatari" were good.

At the same time as Ozu's death, he was virtually retired, and after that he was quietly sent his later years, and died in 2015.

In this special exhibition, there are 11 books (9 programs) that allow you to see Mr. Hara's youthful appearance from the age of 15 to about 10 years when he made his silver curtain debut.

Except for "I don't regret my early spring", all of them are rarely screened at theaters, of which six are said to be newly created new prints.

I also saw 10 of the 11 books from "Throw the soul" in 1935 (Director of Nikkatsu Tama River, Tetsu Taguchi) to "No regret for my young spring" in 1946 (Director of Toho and Akira Kurosawa).

I think it's a very valuable opportunity.

Please check the screening schedule on the website of this film center before coming to Kyobashi.

In addition, with the cooperation of this film center, we provided images for the creation of this blog.

Thank you very much

There is a free tour bus for "Metrolink Nihonbashi / E Line". In Chuo-ku, there is another ward-operated "Edo Bus" 100 yen. Chuo-ku is very blessed with many free bus stops in Tokyo. You can easily enjoy sightseeing and shopping in the Nihonbashi, Tokyo Station, Kyobashi (Ginza / Yurakucho) and Ningyocho areas.

　

Nihonbashi Line

Nihonbashi E Line Yellow Bus

　

There are two routes, but the course (one-way) traveling around Tokyo Station, Nihonbashi and Kyobashi districts is every 10 to 15 minutes. The E course that travels around Tokyo Station, Nihonbashi, and Ningyocho is (one-way) every 22 minutes. There are five common stops: Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit, Subway Mitsukoshimae Station, Nihonbashi 1-chome, Nihonbashi 2-chome, Yaesu Underground Shopping Center. Weekdays 8:00-18:00 Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 10:00-20:00

　

First of all, while comparing the Chuo-ku map with the route map (get the course table in the bus), I left two courses from Tokyo Station to check the location of the bus stop and went around. I wrote the location of the stop on the Chuo-ku map. (The stop on the road side is easy to understand, but the display on the building side is difficult to understand. Some stops may be changed due to construction work.)

　

When I knew the location of the bus stop, I got off and walked from one section until I could walk, and I repeatedly took the bus if I was tired. I couldn't find the bus stop that I should have confirmed from the bus.

　

Here are some places that are conveniently used at the stop. Tokyo Yaesu Exit-Tokyo Station is mainly used by those who use Tokyo Station. From Tokyo Station, walk along the Sotobori-dori St. in the direction of Nihonbashi. It was difficult to understand because it was far from Tokyo Station in front of the Iron and Steel Hall. Personally, I think the Yaesu subway street in front of the station is convenient. Underground Mitsukoshimae Station 1-chome Nihonbashi Muromachi - Kanda Station can also be reached. You can go to Hamacho 2-chome Meijiza-mae-Hamacho Park / Higashi Nihonbashi Station. It's in front of Suitengu-mae Subway-Royal Park Hotel, so you can walk to Ginza on Suitengu-Tokyo City Air Terminal Nihonbashi 2-chome Takashimaya Kyobashi 2-chome-Chuo-dori. If you walk as it is, you can also reach Yurakucho Station and Shimbashi Station. I go through Harumi-dori St. to Higashiginza, Tsukiji, Kachidokibashi, and walk to Tsukishima.

　

The bus stop of the Edo bus is also difficult to understand, so you can see it when you go around. If you are tired of walking, you can take a walk freely in Chuo-ku by repeating the bus.

　

It is also recommended to combine the metro rings with Edo buses. Since the Metroling does not run at the end of Chuo-ku, the Edo bus runs to the end of Chuo-ku.

　

The Edo bus is also divided into two courses. First of all, pay 100 yen, and the ward office (get the Edo bus MAP in the ward office book) is the departure / end point, so let's go around Ningyocho, Horidomecho, Higashinihombashi, Bakurocho, Nihonbashi courses. When you get off the bus at the ward office, if you get a transfer ticket, you can also go around the Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Harumi and Toyomi courses for 100 yen. However, if you get off once, it is only effective at the transfer station, so if you want to get on and off many times. 300 yen per day ticket is a great deal. Every 20 minutes. Weekdays 7: 00-18:40 Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 18:40 (from ward office)

　

Here are some of my recommended courses. If you index "Free Tour Bus TOP" on your smartphone, it is convenient to tap Metrolink Nihonbashi to move the bus position in the operation status. The position of the bus is moving properly, so you can check when you will arrive at your stop.

　

Tokyo Station-Tokyo Yaesu Exit / Yaesu Underground Shopping Center (both courses are OK) Get off at Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome / Shin-Nihonbashi Station [Antenna Shop Nihonbashi Fukushimakan ⇒ Senbikiya ⇒ Mie Terrace ⇒ Bridge Niigata ⇒ Narakan Mahoroba ⇒ Shimanekan (currently closed) ⇒ Mitsukoshi Main Store ⇒ Nihonbashi Toyamakan ⇒ Yamanashi Prefectural Museum ⇒ Yamanashi Prefectural Museum ⇒ Nihonbashi "Shigakan" will open on October 29.

　

As a recommended resting place, the event on the 2nd floor of Mie Terrace is wonderful. On days when there is no event, Mie Prefecture information is displayed on the screen, so you can collect information on Mie Prefecture while taking a break. There are many events, flyers can be provided, and you can apply immediately.

I have been able to participate in many events so far. That's because I often take a break on Mie Terrace. Relaxing in a spacious space is the joy of wearing clothes.

　

"Fukutoku no Mori" can also enjoy greenery and flowers slowly on a sunny and warm day.

There are many people who enjoy lunchtime and tea time. I often read at restrooms.

　

The lounges on the 3rd and 4th floors of the Mitsukoshi Main Store have coffee makers. The chair is also spacious, so you can get tired when you want to take a break during shopping or strolling.

　

It was 3 o'clock when I was taking a break in the lounge in Mitsukoshi while the rain continued every day. Then, the pipe organ performance began, and the space from the first floor to the roof was large, so the performance and sound effects were wonderful, and this time healed and improved. On the way home, my heart was bounced, my mood was bright, and my feet were light on my way home.

Also, I wanted to come to listen to the pipe organ performance. This time, it was a coincidence, but next time I decided to check the Mitsukoshi event schedule in advance and come to listen to the performance.

　

From here, go to the Kyobashi 2-chome bus stop Ginza, silver bra on Chuo-dori from Ginza 1-chome to Ginza.

　

We will take a break at Ginza Six. My favorite is the rooftop garden.

Ginza is large, so if you walk from 1-chome, it is just 6-chome, so it is a perfect resting place. During the hot season, you can feel a cool feeling on the surface of the water.

The spacious space, greenery, window glass full of openness, and location overlooking downstairs are wonderful. I am surprised at my proximity to the sky. It's my best favorite now.

　

According to the antenna shop guide in Chuo-ku, we won 26 "Atenna Shop stamp rally in Chuo-ku" using "MetroLink". I was able to go around earlier than walking, so I would like to try again next year.

　

At the Tokyo Olympics, we hope that people around the world will know that sightseeing and shopping can be done using a free metro bus unique to Chuo-ku. We will continue to send out how to use the free metro bus so that many people will be pleased.

　

 

 

Participated in the Fukutoku Festival held on Sunday, October 22

Unfortunately, due to unfortunate rain, "Fukutoku City" and "Palanquin Experience" were canceled.

However, raffle of "Fukutokukuji" and "Nihonbashi long-established husband talk show" were moved to the underground sidewalk of Edo Sakura-dori St. (a space between Choledo Muromachi 1 and Choledo Muromachi 3 shortly after leaving Mitsukoshimae Station).

At 12:00, after exchanging "Fukutoku lottery voucher" for "Fukutoku lottery", we listened to "Nihonbashi long-established husband talk show".

The participation prize received at the time of exchanging the Fukutoku lottery is this (pictured above).

The talk show was performed by Toru Hashimoto, the fifth generation of Toyoda Nihonbashi, and Masatoshi Ishikawa, the third generation of Yutodo, and the moderator was Miki Sakai, editor-in-chief of the monthly "Nihonbashi".

Mr. Hashimoto of Nihonbashi Toyoda talked about Saigo Takamori as a customer, and Mr. Ishikawa of Yutodo talked about episodes with Japanese painting master Taikan Yokoyama, and so on.

Then, at 2 o'clock, the raffle of Fukutokukuji was finally started.

The photo above is Miyaji Maki of Fukutoku Shrine, which imitates the "rich lottery" of the Edo period and draws the lottery.

It was 10 mag, too.

Since the Nihonbashi Kitazume Store Association is hosting the prize, the prize is super luxurious.

Thank you for "Fukutokukuji".

The day before the typhoon landed, the weather was rough, but the Edo Sakura-dori St. underground walkway was excited at the "Nihonbashi Long-established Husband Talk Show", and the more popular lottery in "Fukutoku Kuji", the more cheers and applause I was excited.

 

 

Sugimori Shrine has been in Fukutoku since the Edo period. It has been worshiped as the god of business. Every year in October, the Ebisu Shrine Festival is held grandly.

The shrine is home to shrine office, Kagura Hall, basin and torii gate, and is registered in Tangible Cultural Property, Chuo-ku.

　Next to the torii gate, the names of the shrine's pupils are listed, and you can see that famous Nihonbashi companies such as Mitsukoshi are worshiped.

　In Kagura Hall, there was a musical accompaniment celebrating the festival.　I'd like you to pass it on to future generations.

　Sugimori Shrine is also famous as a place for the lottery performances that became popular during the Edo period, and the "Tomizuka Monument" tells the prosperity of the time on the premises.

That's why we distributed a golden "rich lottery" embroidered with "rich".

　I wish you all the best.
