Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The other day, during the lunch break on a business trip to Osaka, I rushed to a place related to Chuo-ku.
That's Tsukuda in Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka!



I guess there are many readers who heard Tsukuda?
That's right. Tsukuda in Osaka is related to Tsukuda Island in Chuo-ku.

Tsukuda Island in Chuo-ku was reclaimed by fishermen who entered Edo from Tsukuda-mura, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-kuni (currently Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka-shi), and was formed in the first year of Shobo (1644).
So why was it built by fishermen in the distant Settsu country?
The reason for this was on a little edge.

In Tensho 14 (1586), Ieyasu Tokugawa visited Osaka Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine and Settsu Tada Shrine.
At that time, it was the fishermen of the main character Tsukuda who served as the ferry of Kanzakigawa.


(On the left side is Tsukuda)

In Keicho 17 (1612), they were ordered by the Shoguns to serve as fish offerings, and 33 fishermen from Tsukuda and Owada, including the younger brother of Miyaji Tamino Shrine and Magoemon Mori of Tsukuda Village, entered Edo.
They were given the privilege of fishing rights, such as being able to fish in any sea in Japan and being exempt from tax.
Initially, they lived in Nihonbashikoamicho and engaged in fishing in Edo Bay.
Reclaimed the land of the gunshot, which was later received from the Shogunate, and created it.
It was named "Tsukuda Island" after his hometown and moved to Japan.

Later, the remaining fish donated to the Shogunate were arranged on board boats and sold to the general public.
It was the beginning of the Nihonbashi Fish Bank that I introduced the other day.



The shrine is located in Tsukuda, Osaka, which enshrines the Ogami of Sumiyoshi.



There is a monument about fishermen who have greatly contributed to the development of Chuo-ku.



On the grounds, there is also Toshogu Shrine, which was enshrined after Ieyasu's death, indicating the special connection between Tsukuda and the Shogun's family.



And the grave of Magoemon Mori, a representative of fishermen, is located at Masayuki-ji Temple near the shrine.
According to the temple, there is the intention of descendants, and it is not currently open to the public due to preservation.



However, at Tsukiji Honganji Temple in Chuo-ku, you can see Magoemon Mori Peace pagoda.
This was built in 1861, his 200th anniversary.



The right side is the relationship between the fishermen of Tsukuda Island and the Tokugawa family, and the left side is engraved with the formation of Tsukuda Island.


(Right: right side, left: left side)

Finally, candidates for the Chuo-ku Tourism Test will introduce the cultural property related to Tsukuda that they want to check, "White Fish Offering Box"
This was used by a fisherman on Tsukuda Island to offer white fish to the general.
An inner box painted in red (the lid is written with gold mud as "Gozen white fish box Tsukudashima")
It is said that it was placed in a black lacquered sandwich box (which is written in vermilion lacquer as "Gozen Gohonmaru") and transported through a katsugi stick.

Goyo fishing was carried out from November to March every year using the net fishing method, a type of fixed net.
You can also see it in the Edo Famous Zoukai.
When you spotlight the fishermen in this way, can you naturally see their lives?

Fishermen who moved to Edo with a mysterious connection from Tsukuda, Settsu country.
The edges that they connected were not only the edges of the Shoguns, but also the edges of Edo and Settsu.
Even today, students from Tsukudajima Elementary School in Chuo Ward and Tsukuda Elementary School in Osaka City interact with each other.
There is still a good relationship on the island connected by fishermen.

(A more detailed book version can be borrowed from the library in the city.)

[Aside]
During the Edo period, Tsukuda Island, which separated the sea slightly from the city, was an attractive place for people in the city.
Fujimimono, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Festival and clam digging seemed to have become tourist attractions.
The situation is depicted in "Edo specialty Kago" and "Picture Book Edo Souvenir".

 

 

　

You can go far away to hunt autumn leaves, or enjoy in the neighborhood.

You can also enjoy the autumn leaves on the back street of Tsukishima Kumin Center.　

By the way, you can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring.　

　

Watching autumn foliage will make you feel so delightful regardless of the place you visit.　

You can also enjoy colorful leaves at the back street of Chuoku Tsukishima Kumin Center.　

The place is also a nice spot to view cherry blossoms in early spring.　

　

　

 

 

　

The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics are approaching one and a half years later, and momentum has gradually increased.

　

　

　

　

　

　

An athlete's village is under construction in Harumi, Chuo-ku. After the foundation work is completed, the building will rise steadily. A large crane moved behind the passenger ship anchored at the Harumi Passenger Terminal, and the appearance of a new building gradually began to appear. This town will be transformed from now on.

　

　
As you may know, there was once an "international trade fair venue" in this area, which was crowded with many business officials and spectators. Time passes, and Harumi is reborn as a new base for international exchange.

　

　

　
This month, the road and ring No. 2, which will be the aorta leading to Harumi, was provisionally opened, creating new logistics and flow of people. . At the time of the 2020 Olympics, BRT (new transportation system) is also scheduled to open. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of face this town will show at that time.
　
Why don't you come to a glimpse of this town, which changes every moment until completion?

 

 

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

　
The other day, it started on November 10th (Sat).

Participated in the "Sensha Bill Stamp & Town Name Quiz Rally".

Collect stamps placed throughout the city.

And let's go around the quiz about the street name.

For more information, please click here.

http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/#we-page-single-entry?spot=247604

You can see this page.

There is also an introduction to "Routes that go around all points efficiently"

Please take a look at it.

　

That's why ... this course may be okay for others.

There are two problems for Edamame.

・With children, I want to make effective use of the morning as much as possible.

This recommended "routes that go around all points"

The starting point is Tsukishima.

Tsukishima Monja Association Promotion Association, the stamp point of Tsukishima, is open at 12:30.

As a child who is clearly expected to be frustrating, I want to go around the morning course more! I thought it was.

・I want to set the start near the Hamacho area.

・・I'm sorry. I'm a resident.

That's why in this article, it goes against the recommendation of the tourist association (laughs).

Introducing "Edamame & Daughter Azuki (a three-year-old child who walks quite a bit) felt like this."

I will also write the passing time, so I hope that it will be especially helpful for children.

(Digital images are convenient~. It's easy to refer to because the shooting time is recorded (laughs).
　

Well, when I leave my home and walk for a while ...

Arrived at the first stamp point, Hakozaki-cho "T-CAT (Tokyo City Air Terminal)".

(Arrival time 10:57 ... 30 minutes earlier if you don't have Azuki's petit ear!)

This is a 100 yen shop, a drugstore, a select shop for children's clothing.

And there are McDonald's, etc.

As a child-rearing generation living in the local area, even if there is no business going to Haneda or Narita by limousine bus

It's a very useful facility. Actually.

If you go to the second floor, it's already a Christmas tree near the stamp stand.

It's just around the end of the year. It's scary.

But it makes me feel better to see gorgeous things.

And there was a stamp stand in the space between Cafe Doku Rie and the hall.

At this height, it is very helpful because the child can push it on his own!

　

If you leave here, just walk to the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative Office.

The entrance to the office is just on the side street of Daikanonji Temple.

(Arrival time: 11:14)

The quiz question is affixed to the entrance of the office.
　

After that, I was worried, but Azuki said, "Aru!"

I will do my best to walk to Yagenbori Fudoin, the next quiz spot.

(Arrival time: 11:37)

The quiz question is affixed to main hall up the stairs.

Let's check the quiz after you visit everyone.

Of course, I also visited Azuki.

(About the difference between shrines and temples, and about whether or not to hit Kashiwate

　I would like to teach 3-year-old Azuki as a future task.)
　

After that, it is just a short distance from Yagenbori Fudoin.

2 stations by train from Higashi-Nihonbashi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line.

Move to Nihombashi Station.

Click here for the next stamp spot.

This is the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.

(Arrival time: 12:02)

It was a stamp stand at a high place like the Senshafuda stamp rally last March.

Both the stamp mat and the stamp itself were not connected by chains, etc.

"You can use the chair nearby as a desk," a warm offer from the staff.

・・Thank you very much!

And the brochure I found here.

It's a "real mystery solving game empty exhibition"!

https://nazoxnazo.com/tokyo_ex/

A new mystery solving event, including the Nihonbashi area.

Edamame, a correspondent who loves solving mysteries, is likely to be held soon.

You may find a new event if you take a look at the Nihonbashi Information Center, Chokochoko.

I would like to take a look at it regularly.
　

Here ...

"I'm hungry, Pekopeko!"

"Ah, what do you want to eat?" "Hanbagu!"

That's why I've taken care of you before

Head to "Landmarks" on the 5th floor of the new building, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store

This was the birthplace of "Children's Lunch".

(including waiting for the restaurant)

I think you've spent about an hour here.)

After eating, you will reach the entrance to the main building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store and Honkan.

Mr. Lion was wearing a "beware of fire."

It's already winter.
　

And walk for a while

Arrived at Nihonbashi Information Center on the 1st floor of Cored Muromachi and 1st basement!

(Arrival time: 13:04)

This was also a tall counter.

Moreover, it was set up in an area far from the staff ...

Hold the azuki with one hand and press the stamp together with the other hand.

It was a long time.

15 kilograms with one hand. Oh, yes. 。 。

By the way, there was also a model of a cruise ship coming out of Nihonbashi Pier next to it.
　

And if you push it safely, 3 stations from Mitsukoshimae Station on the Ginza Line.

When you arrive at Ginza Station, it is the next quiz spot.

Head to "Ginfo (Ginza Tourist Information Center)" on the 1st floor of Tokyu Plaza Ginza.

(Arrival time: 13:21)

Check with the staff here.

"I'm sorry. How long does it take to walk from here to Tsukiji?"

The distance between Ginza and Tsukiji is a walking distance, so I asked ...

"I think it will take 20 to 30 minutes, but you're with your child, right?

It might cost more.

"Platto Tsukiji" closes at 14:00, so it's better to use a train. "

That's why 2 stations take the Hibiya Line from Ginza. I'm heading to Tsukiji.

From Tokyu Plaza Ginza, it's easy to get on the Hibiya Line.
　

Tsukiji on Saturday, which came after a long time ...

Even after the market move, he was a great man.

I could walk normally from the station to the intersection of Tsukiji 4-chome.

After entering the out-of-market area, people were so terrible that I had a hard time walking with children.

This is the next stamp spot "General Information Center Plat Tsukiji".

(It closed at 13:45 at 14:00, so it was barely enough.)

This was also a high stamp stand, so it was a strategy to "hold with one hand and assist with stamp with one hand".

I forgot to take a picture of the stamp stand because it weighs too much.

Instead, in front of Platto Tsukiji, there is an event-like sale of delicacies. Since it was 500 yen, "I'm going to give you a gift to my uncle! (by Azuki) "I tried it. And he said, "I got rid of it."

Take a break with freshly squeezed apple juice.
　

Let's walk again after the energy is filled.

While looking at the "place" already in construction mode.

I'll walk to Akashicho for a while.

I felt that there was a lot of distance here, but I wonder if I can't help it.
　

We arrived at the next quiz spot.

It is Akashicho "Chuo-ku Local Museum Time Dome Akashi".

(Arrival time: 14:18)

The sixth floor of this building is Time Dome Akashi.

Since the museum is closed Monday, you can't see the quiz here that day. Be careful!

And here's a restroom break.

My diaper doesn't come off yet, so I'm a kid who bothers my mother's head.

Because it is "Time Dome Akashi" which is a public facility, it can be used for multipurpose toilets.

There is also a diaper changing sheet.

It is safe even for small children.
　

And next to Tsukishima.

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, there is also a sidewalk.

Both stairs and bicycle slopes are properly attached along the river, so it is safe.

(I know that there is a sidewalk, but it's secret that I was impatient for a moment that I should go up from where.)

A good view of the boat!

But there's quite a bit of a bicycle running fast.

Be careful about safety when walking with children! Oh, yes.
　

As soon as you cross the Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, a stamp spot on Tsukishima

It is "Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association Cooperative".

(Arrival time around 15:00 ... I forgot to take a picture ...)

This was a low desk and a chair.

It's easy for children to push. Thank you very much.
　

From there, take a train at Tsukishima Station on the Yurakucho Line.

After getting off at Ginza 1-chome Station, head to Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.

・・It was unexpectedly long!

It may have been better to attach the Yaesu underground shopping mall when going around the Nihonbashi area.

Either way, you may have decided to walk as it is ...

I managed to arrive at the stamp spot on Main Avenue.

(Arrival time: 15:30)

It was also a high level.

I survived the operation of "Holding one hand and assisting one hand stamp". Yeah. It's heavy.

　

All you have to do is walk to the goal.

Arrived at the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the 1st floor of Kyobashi Edgran at the goal point! ! ！

(Arrival time: 15:48)

Clear the last stamp and quiz here.
　

"Original sticker with stamp pattern" which is a product that won the stamp.

(Do you think this is quite nice with bright colors?)

We received the quiz correct answer prize "Original mini drawstring with stamp pattern".

(Because it's for 2 people, there are two kinds of prints.

　I was able to receive both types.)

And when I answer the questionnaire, I draw a lottery and give a luxurious prize ...

All of them are "Hazure".

Well, it's hard to hit.

I was worried about the Ginza Prize's "Chopsticks & incense set".

The Akashicho Prize “Clear File & Constellation Quick View Kit” is also available.

I thought it would be possible to use it when the azuki got a little bigger.
　

Nothing.

It was a good exercise after walking around for a day.

I was able to go to places where I don't usually go.

If you don't have children, you will have more room than we have followed.

You may be able to eat more delicious food on the way.
　

"Sensha Bill Stamp & Town Name Quiz Rally" is until January 14 (Monday) next year. You can enjoy it over a long period of time, so please enjoy the whole area of Chuo-ku by all means.

※In addition to the year-end and New Year holidays, there are periods when stamps cannot be installed or quizzes cannot be posted due to facility closures.

In addition, stamp installation time varies depending on the facility.

For details, please refer to the following website.

As Tsukiji Ohashi and Toyosu Ohashi were opened, I crossed Toyosu Market-Tsukiji 5-chome Bridge.

　

　

　

　

First, cross the Toyosu Ohashi from the side of the Toyosu Market and reach the Harumi Canal, you can see a small boat sailing because it is high.

　

　

On the left is the construction of the Olympic Village. It can be seen that the cranes are crowded and construction is progressing.

　

　

　

On the left side, I think there was a former dome-type exhibition hall building, but as you can see, it has changed completely.

　

<<<Kachidokibashi, which was the first bridge of the Sumida River since 1940. >>>>>

　

　

Crossing the Sumida River, beside Tsukiji Market, this is difficult to understand in the photo, but there was a freight wagon draw line.

　

<<<<<<<<The front of Hamarikyu is Shiodome in front of Hamarikyu. 　>>>>

　

You can see the Tokyo Tower.　The red of Tokyo Tower is said to be "International Orange" as the color name. It seems that the color is legally determined because Haneda Airport is near, and San Francisco and Golden Gate Bridge are also this color.

　

　

The front is a group of buildings in Shiodome. In the past, there was the Japan National Railways Freight Station, where the tracks were drawn in from here.

(The first railway in Japan, Shimbashi Station between Shimbashi and Yokohama, is not the current Shimbashi Station, but this Shiodome.)

　

<<<<<<<< If you look at Hamarikyu on your left and go further, you will come to Tsukiji 5-chome.>>>>

　

The traffic light in front of the Asahi Shimbun on the right of the Tsukiji 5-chome intersection, here was the track of the draw line.

　

<<<<<<<<<<With a wagon enter? >>>>>>>

　

<<<<<<<<<go through the platform with this curve)　>>>

　

　

The weather was nice and warm on this day, so many foreign tourists enjoyed a walk.

 

 

About 90 years since it was built with land as the fourth land of Tsukishima....Harumi's history has created a period of growth in Japan and has been at the forefront. For many years, Ginza and Tsukiji were places of work, but Harumi was in a distant view. Today is Koharu weather. Explore [Harumi], which was named after "Always being a town overlooking the clear sea." ↑ From Asashio Ohashi Hashigami, see the Asashio Canal in the direction of Tokyo Bay. The right bank is the scenery of Tsukishima, Kachidoki, and Toyomi-cho, behind Tsukuda Suimon, Tsukuda's cityscape, Aioi Bridge. Well, the left bank area is [Harumi].
