Sweet

[Sam] January 19, 2019 09:00

DSC08400ELS'.jpgDSC08396RS'G.jpg In the background of the moored houseboat, the "Tomin Bird" Yurikamome rests its wings on the railing of the waterside green road "Tsukishimakawa Green Promenade" along the Tsukishima River.

I feel comfortable in the soft sunlight of winter.

At first glance, they are aligned in the same direction, and at first glance every individual looks the same, but if you look closely, each face, physique, expression, and gesture seem to be slightly different.

White turtles are said to account for the majority of seagull species that come to Japan as winter birds.

The feet and beak are red (black at the tip of the beak), the winter feather has a white head, the iris is black, the surrounding area has a white eye ring, and the dark spots behind the eyes are clear, and the black eyes are charming. I have a face.

Like other seagulls, it is omnivorous and eats small fish and aquatic insects.

 

 

Hamarikyu from Tsukiji Ohashi

[kimitaku] January 17, 2019 09:00

Cross Tsukiji Ohashi from the left bank and from the middle, you can see Hamarikyu on your right when you look at the Sumida River. The distant view of Hamarikyu, which can not be seen from Kachidokibashi or from the boat.

kimitaku3_20181220.jpg

 

kimitaku2_20181220.jpg

 

I just heard the whistle of the pleasure boat entering the departure and arrival point of Hamarikyu.

As you proceed along the Tsukiji Ohashi Bridge, you can see the departure and arrival point across the canal as if you were picked up.

You can do it. There is a fun conversation among many tourists who get off from here.

English, Chinese, and Cantonese are especially louder than Japanese, and the bustle of the departure and arrival areas.

It's even more gorgeous.

kimitaku1_20181220.jpg

 

To get to Tsukiji Ohashi, get off at Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line and walk 10 minutes.

Toei buses go from the south exit of Marunouchi, Tokyo Station bound for Toyomi Fisheries Pier.

      From Kameido Station to Tsukishima Station, bound for Toyomi Fisheries Pier

        Both are a 5-minute walk from Niijima Bridge.

*It is also recommended to match the departure and arrival times of Hamarikyu on the Tokyo Cruise of Tokyo Kanko Kisen*.

Please note that is careful, and Hamarikyu is not seen from the sidewalk of the upper reaches.

 

 

[10th Excursion Series] Chuo-ku Historic Site where you can enjoy traveling around Tohoku

[Hanes] January 16, 2019 14:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
When you hear the Tohoku region, do you think of any relevance to Chuo-ku?
After all, many people think of Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city.
This time, apart from Higashine City, we will introduce places related to the historic sites of Chuo-ku that I found when visiting the Tohoku region.

[Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture x Tsukuda] Kaikaikan
Kaikaikan, a Kappo cuisine inn where cultural figures from the Meiji and Taisho eras stayed.
It was burned down by the Great Kanto Earthquake, and now only information boards remain in Tsukuda.
In fact, the building of this ryokan was relocated from Sendai City.
At that time, it was a scenic and quiet place with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay.
It is said that Toson Shimazaki, Kaoru Osanai, Mokutaro Kinoshita, Rofu Miki, Isamu Yoshii, Manjiro Kubota, Yumeji Takehisa, and Ginnosuke Nisutsu also visited.

(I'm sorry for the evening photo.)

[Yamagata Prefecture x Nihonbashi Honmachi] Mt. Haguro
At the beginning of the Edo period, the benevolent bamboo became the lower daughter of the Sakuma family in Otemmacho.
One day, the conductor of Mt. Haguro in Dewa told him that he was an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai.
Later, it is said that many people in the city who heard the story came to worship.

There is a stone monument called "Otake Dainichi Nyoraiido Ruins" at the site of the well she used now.

[Nakoso, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture x Nihonbashikabutocho] Yoshiie Minamotono
During the Heian period, Yoshiie Minamotono headed for the attack on Oshu, suffered a storm near the current armor bridge.
When I threw a piece of armor into the sea and prayed to Ryujin, I was able to cross safely.

Armor Bridge. jpg
(Currently, there is an information board for the remains of armor.)

You can see the Yoshiya appearing here at Nakoso Seki and Nakoso Station in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.

IMG_3743.JPG
Photographed at Nakoso Seki. I'm sorry to rude again with the night picture.

On the monument at Nakoso no Seki, it is engraved that "the Heian period is nearing the end of the Gosannen War, the Mutsu Mamoru Genyoshi will go here on the way down to Oshu for its peace."
Then, just as we approached Nakoso, Yoshie stopped pieces and wrote such a phrase on the cherry blossoms flying on the warlord's iron clothing as if we had the spring to go.
"Is yamazakura?" ("Senjo Wakashu")
Bulse: It's Nakoso's Seki, named "I'm coming," so I don't think there's a blowing wind, but yamazakura's flowers are scattered enough to block the road.

IMG_3753.JPG
Photographed at Nakoso Station.

Some of the historical sites in Chuo-ku are linked to Tohoku and all over the country.
You can also think about history by connecting historical sites while traveling.
And when I find a connection with my hometown, I'm sure it's not the only one who makes it even more fun to see historic sites.

There are some signboards that are not very noticeable and tend to spend time.
When walking around the town, be sure to check the information boards of these historic sites.
