　In the former Tsukuda Island area, Inari Shrine is enshrined in three places and four companies.

In part (Kamimachi), "Irifune Inari Shrine" is one of the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine precincts, which is said to have been transferred from 1-chome Odenmacho in 1869. In the second part (Shitamachi), "Mori Inari Shrine" is said to have originated from the Yashikigami, which was enshrined by the Magoemon Mori clan. In the third part (Azumacho), "Nami-Inari Shrine, O (O) Saki Inari Shrine", where the remnants of the former Ryoshimachi remain dark in the inscription of Tamagaki.

This year, at 10:00 on March 4, the Sunday near the first noon of March, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Miyaji Hiraoka visited each Inari shrine, and the first day festival cleansing ritual ceremony was held.

The shrine hall is decorated with a picture lantern that has been the tradition of the Edo period, such as plays and other words and phrases. "The power of the tongue (the power of the tongue)" "The peach sold at the original price (Momotaro born from peach)" ...

The dedication flags dyed with each Inari shrine name flutter in the wind, and the sound of the drums placed in front of Inari Shrine echo throughout the town.

 

 

Sumida River Terrace (prologue) to enjoy walking

Enjoy walking along the Sumida River Terrace from Kachidokibashi to Kiyosubashi. The course departs near Tsukiji Ohashi.

Cross Kachidokibashi, Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Shinkawa Park, Eitai Bridge, Kiyosu Bridge. All walk under the bridge

(Refer to the map)

　

　

During this time, the Tsukishima River Suimon detours and walks on general roads, but there is no traffic light and you can walk while enjoying the scenery of the Sumida River.

　

First of all, last year, the Tokyo Tower was specially lit up for two days, October 27 (Fri) and Saturday, October 28 1000 days before the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The display of 1000 was only one east side (Shibakoen area), and it could be seen between Kachidokibashi and Tsukiji Ohashi, but it was unfortunate rain on October 28.

Another story of last year. Vegetables are high from last year to this year, but the cause is the cold and the typhoon of last year. On the morning after the typhoon on October 22, the Sumida River terrace near Kachidokibashi. It's flooded as shown in the picture. I saw it for the first time that the water surface has risen so far. The sluice gate was also closed.

By the way, from the next time, we will post the Sumida River Terrace where you can enjoy walking under the bridge.

 

 

　From March 1st, "Senshafuda stamp rally walking around Chuo-ku" has begun.　The period is until March 31st (Sat).

To participate, first obtain the stamp rally mount, G Info in the Ginza area, the General Information Center Plat Tsukiji area, Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center in the Nihonbashi area, Ningyocho area in front of the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative Office (Great Kannon Terashita), Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association, Chuobashi area in the Tsukishima area.

　The location of the stamp seal is the same as the location of the above-mentioned mount.　And, if you answer the questionnaire with the participation prize `` Sensha Bill Seal written by Edo Character Craftsman '' that you can always get, the place where you can receive prizes in the area that you may be able to get by lottery is the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center in the Kyobashi area, The first start should be started from a place other than Kyobashi.

　As it was getting warmer, on March 3rd, G Info took a walk from the Tsukiji Outer Market General Information Center Plat Tsukiji and the Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association Cooperative in the Tsukishima area.　I thought it was a bit far to walk to Ningyocho and Nihonbashi, so I came up with a good thing.　

And we used "Edo Bus", the foot of Chuo Ward residents. I got a transfer ticket to the North Loop and went from Tsukishima to Nihonbashi for 100 yen. (Because it was Saturday, the stamp place in Ningyocho was closed.)

　The Edo bus driver was very kind to issue a transfer ticket and also told me where to transfer.

The Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center sells not only stamps but also long-established products in Nihonbashi, so we decided on the items and purchased "Arihei Sugar vanilla Milk Candy" from Eitarou Sohonpo.

I think this will also be popular in the return of White Day. (I'm self-consumption)

At the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the first basement floor of Kyobashi Edgran, I showed a mount and received a participation prize, "Sensha Bill Sticker written by Edo Character Craftsman," which I could always get.

　

I answered the questionnaire and tried the lottery, but I still don't seem to have a lottery.

I enjoyed a little late lunch at a shop in the basement of Kyobashi Edgran, and rewarded myself.

　Well, why don't you take a walk and join the Senshafuda stamp rally?　It's really fun.

※　The participation prize "Sensha Bill Sticker written by Edo Character Craftsman" is a wonderful Edo character drawn by Tsutaya Shoten in Tsukiji. Tsutaya Shoten participates in the "Chuo-ku Machikado Museum".

　"Kanhizakura" (Kanhizakura) planted on the "Sakura promenade" along the Harumi Triton Square Asashio Canal blooms.

Also known as "Hikanzakura (Hikanzakura)".

It is said to be a warm cherry tree native to Taiwan and southern China, and its petals, calyx cylinders, and sepals are bright scarlet, and the bell-shaped flowers are cut down and filled with twigs, and it has a unique appearance.

As the name suggests, the flower colors like scarlet peach or red plum, which begin to bloom in the cold spring, are eye-catching.

At the same time, the petals are not scattered, and it is a bit different from the ephemeral Yoshino cherry tree.

Even though the peach festival has passed and the temperature is still repeated, I feel the warmth steadily in the sunlight.

 

 

　Harumi Triton Plaza 2F, which was suspended during the cold season in January and February.

On March 1st, a mini-garden guided tour will take a walk around the park with the guidance of an exclusive gardener of "i green Pocket Plaza Hana, Water and Trees".

It was held for the first time in three months.

The maximum daytime temperature is 20.3 ° C, as warm as late April.

On the green terrace, you can see pheasant's eye and Setsubunsou suitable for this season. The small white flower sarcocococca, which is plain but fragrant on the flower terrace, is also impressive.

White flowers such as snowdrop, Christmas rose, habotan, and English daisy stand out. Kiltanthus is a humorous flower with an elongated tubular, slightly curved trumpet-shaped exotic feeling. In general, the number of flowers is still limited, but you can also enjoy Ginyo Acacia, Naniwazu, pansies, violas, stock, etc.

The route between Toyosu and Harumi on the Metropolitan Expressway and Harumi Line will open on March 10 (Saturday). The other day, there was a walking event called "Harumi Line Skywalk" commemorating it, hosted by the Metropolitan Expressway, and I walked on the expressway before opening.

　

　

The Metropolitan Expressway No. 10 Harumi Line. This road is a highway that branches off from Wangansen, and about nine years ago, the Shinonome Junction in Wangansen to Toyosu Entrance in Koto-ku was opened. With this opening, the road to Toyosu will be further extended, crossing the Harumi Canal, leading to Harumi Wharf in Chuo-ku.

　

(From the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway website)

　

On the Metropolitan Expressway, walking events are often held just before opening a new road. Once opened, you will not be able to walk, so I often participate in this event where you can experience valuable things.

　

　

From the new Harumi entrance, go out on a new road where the sun shines, and it is finally the start of a 1.8km round trip.

　

You go up the straight one-way, one-lane road, but on a very gentle uphill, you can walk slowly. Above all, there was a sense of liberation, and I had a feeling that I could walk very comfortably.

　

　

As it is, we will cross the canal gently up toward Toyosu.

　

One reason why there is a sense of liberation is that tall streetlights are not made. The streetlights installed at intervals of several meters will illuminate the road from a low position.

　

　

As I proceeded, I gradually saw buildings in the direction of LaLaport in Toyosu, Koto-ku, on the left side of the bridge. It is a city that has been developed in recent years, but it feels like a very well-organized cityscape in terms of landscape.

　

　

Looking back a little, there was a retro bridge and a houseboat. If you look closely in the modern landscape, you can see that such a year-old landscape is embedded.

　

　

I climbed a straight road, crossed the canal, and reached the sky above the Yurikamome line running over the overpass. The Metropolitan Taka Harumi Line has to overcome the elevated Yurikamome elevated road, so it is an even higher elevated road.

　

　

This "Yurikamome" is very popular with foreign tourists. It seems that this unmanned vehicle, which runs through modern buildings, overlaps with the vehicles of the future city that I have envisioned in my head.

　

　

By the way, the sky above Yurikamome is the turning point of today's walking.

　

Here, look back on the road that has just come and look at Harumi, Chuo-ku from a high place. Then a pleasant landscape spread out in front of me.

　

　

This landscape is probably meaningful.

　

　

The Tokyo Olympics will begin two years later.

　

There is an athlete village at Harumi Wharf, and there are many competitions in this area. At that time, not only players, but also media from various countries and many tourists gathered in this Gulf region, and the city of the future city called "TOKYO" will be transmitted to the whole world.

　

You will probably use Wangansen to get from Haneda Airport or Narita Airport to Harumi's Athlete Village. Turn around the Shinonome Junction, climb up a gentle slope, and after Yurikamome, you can see your destination from a high place.

　

"A little more" to the athlete village. The future city of Harumi, Chuo-ku spreads out in front of you.　

　

　

Tokyo welcomes people all over the world with this landscape of Harumi, Chuo-ku.

　

I think it's quite good, but I'm looking forward to seeing how foreign visitors can feel the city of "TOKYO" when they go down this slope.

　

　

Freeway to Chuo-ku.

You can see the sky tree on the right.

The left is the Rainbow Bridge.

　

This road is a downhill like a runway that is as competitive as the scene of Yumin's song.

　

　

After landing, turn left and right.

　

If you go straight, you will find the Japanese technology Kachidokibashi, Asian Tsukiji, the cultural architecture of Kabukiza, the luxury city of Ginza 4-chome. And it leads to the middle of Tokyo.

　

　

The future of Tokyo, which will be built more and more in the neighborhood, including this road.

　

The Metropolitan Expressway Harumi Line is a road that will lead to Tokyo in the future.

　

Two years before the Tokyo Olympics.

I hope that it will be a wonderful future city that will be ready without delay and will be praised by the world.
