Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The gull, designated as a bird in Tokyo, flew again this year. According to the rabbit birdwatching for the last three years, they come here in Chuo-ku around October 20 every year.

　

　

When I found it, I was resting about eight birds, but I flew during the photography time and only two birds remained.

　

Tokyo bird "Yurikamome" (Shinagawa-ku bird)　

　

Looking at how the Japanese turtle was designated as a bird in Tokyo, it was designated in 1965, and it was designated as the first place in the postcard voting by Tokyo residents from pheasants, starlings, Japanese white-eye, etc. . By the way, the second place is Japanese white-eye and the third place is Hibari.

　

So what are the birds in the ward designated?

In the 23 wards, only four wards were designated as birds in the ward: Japanese plums in Shinagawa-ku, Onaga in Setagaya-ku, swan in Chiyoda-ku, and Japanese tit in Meguro-ku.

　

The bird "Onaga" in Setagaya-ku

　

The picture is a naga that I took in Tsukuda last month. The feathers are muffy because they are the young man of adult bird who has just nested. It is a member of the crow, but it is a beautiful bird with a black head and a long tail, and can be found in the trees of Akashicho and Tsukuda Park in Chuo-ku. The voice is characterized by giggy, so if you think it's a strange voice, look for it and look.

　

The bird "Swan" in Chiyoda-ku　

　

The photo shows a mute swan in the moat of the Imperial Palace. These swans are not found in Chuo-ku.

　

The bird "Japanese tit" in Meguro-ku

　

Citrus screams with a clear voice. This photo was found in a squeal near the Chuo-ku ward office. I'm in such a place! I was so happy. It is a bird that appears relatively in the city.

　

It is a pity that birds in Chuo-ku are not designated, but birds in each ward can be easily seen in Chuo-ku. From now on, the day when the plums will fly more and more, and the fence of the Sumida River Terrace will be full is almost ready.

　October 21 is the 13th Night of old calendar, which corresponds to September 13.

It is also known as "Kuriname Moon" and "Mamename Moon".

"Fifteen nights" is called "the previous month", "thirteen nights" is called "later moon", and two moons are collectively called "two nights". It is said that he hated.

Around September 13 in old calendar, the climate is generally fresh, and we have heard that there is no cloudy on the thirteenth night.

On the 21st, the Japanese Islands were widely covered with high pressures, and the fine autumn weather was calm, and the moon of "Thirteen Nights" shines above the lit-up windows of Kachidokibashi and Kachidoki skyscrapers. .

The "Thirteen Nights" is one step before the full moon.

The love of the moon with a slightly missing shape is one example of the emergence of the unique aesthetic sense of Japanese that has been handed down since ancient times.

 

 

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The 66th Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival is currently being held in Chuo-ku.
The other day, I went to Harumi Island Triton Square to see "Flower Carpet Harumi 2018" which was part of that.



Harumi has gained more and more attention with the creation of Olympic athlete villages.
Perhaps because of that, this year's theme is "Sports Flower Carpets"
The figures of the players who fascinated the world in the famous scenes that were both memorable and recorded were reproduced with colorful petals.
It can be seen from a distance or a distance, and the dynamism of the players is transmitted.



This flower carpet looks like the fall of sports and the fall of art are fused.
I'm still working on it, so I'm looking forward to seeing what it will be by the Grand Finale on the 16th (Tuesday).



After that, I looked into the "Harumi Harukko Autumn Festival" held on the cherry blossom promenade and the water terrace.
The character show is crowded with families so that people can get crowded on the second floor.
There are many gourmet foods that invite the appetite unique to autumn of appetite in delicious food stalls!



After enjoying the autumn in the Harumi area in this way, we enjoyed the autumn.
To the marche of the Sun, one of Japan's largest urban-type marche held at Tsukishima Daini Children's Park
This marche is a place where "eat, buy, learn, and experience" are united and serve as food education.
The theme of October is "Autumn taste gathering from all over the country"!
A selection of farmers from all over the country gather, all of which are high-quality shops.
There is also a gourmet that a certain entertainer ate and praised, and I wanted to visit again.



Harumi and Tsukishima introduced this time are located a little far away from Ginza and Nihonbashi.
I think there's a lot of access by subway.
However, another means of transportation that I would like to propose at such a time is the Edo Bus, a community bus in Chuo-ku.



This bus has a north circulation (in the direction of Nihonbashi) and a south circulation (in the direction of Tsukiji, Tsukishima, Kachidoki).
It is easy to understand how to make free connections between the north circulation and the south circulation, and I often use it recently!
It is recommended because you can travel cheaper than trains and metropolitan buses (100 yen one way for adults), and you can enjoy the scenery of Chuo-ku.
When using the service, please find the autumn of Chuo-ku from the train window.

 

 

This is the second half of the blog that took a walk along the red dashed line river’s edge on the map below with two dogs.

Area D

Chuo-ohashi Bridge is a diagonal bridge that was built over the Sumida River in 1994.

This photo shows the high-rise apartments in Tsukuda over Chuo-ohashi Bridge from the Shinkawa area side.

Area E

View Chuo-ohashi Bridge from river’s edge in the Shinkawa area.

In 1873, it is the trace of the Reigishijima tide center installed in this area.

What appears behind the scenes is Tsukuda's high-rise apartment complex

Area F

Minami Takahashi is a bridge built over the Kamejima River in 1932.

Through the earthquake disaster recovery project, the central part of the former Ryogoku Bridge has been relocated, reinforced and reused.

This is Minami Takahashi from the Minato area side.

Area G

It is a long and spacious Sumida River terrace in the Minato area.

The walk in river’s edge feels good because of the wind.

By the way, the information on the history of this blog is based on the official text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", which was started on October 1 of this month.

 

 

The season became better, and it was the best time for a walk.

In the morning, we took a walk along the red dashed line river’s edge on the map below with two dogs.

I walked counterclockwise from A to B, C ...

In the first half, we will introduce A to D.

Area A

At the base of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, the remnant of Tsukuda-no-Hari, which remains on the Minato side, is the site of the Tsukuda Island Ferry Terminal.

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is a bridge with a simple design that was built in 1964 instead of Tsukuda's ferry.

I remember hearing or reading that 1964 was a simple design in time for the last Tokyo Olympics, but it's a bit vague.

The high-rise apartments over Tsukuda Island seen from the sidewalk on the north side seem to see Tokyo and Edo together, and it is a favorite view.

Area B

Tsukuda Island was built in 1644 by a fisherman who entered Edo from Tsukuda-mura, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-kuni, reclaimed the mouth of the Sumida River.

It is said that the origin of Tsukudani was that fishermen on Tsukuda Island boiled small fish and shellfish with salt and soy sauce for their preservation food.

The remnants of "Tsukuda's ferry" are the ruins of Tsukuda Island ferryboat (Tsukuda side).

Next to this monument, there is also stone monument of Hideji Hojo, a playwright who loved Tsukuda Island.

"If it snows, Tsukuda is an old island of Edo."

Tsukuda Kobashi, a monument of Tsukuda Island

It spans the Tsukuda River tributary, and the vermilion balustrade is impressive.

Area C

It is the site of Ishikawajima Lighthouse

The beginning of the Ishikawajima Lighthouse was a nightlight built in 1866 by Ishikawajima Hitoshishoroba magistrate for ships sailing on the Sumida River by human feet.

The Ishikawajimajin Ashojo was made by that "Kihei" Heizo Hasegawa proposed to Sadanobu Matsudaira.

This area is the site of the former Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, where ultra-high-rise apartments stand in the forest.

The water bus "Hotaluna" went up the Sumida River.

This is the design of Reiji Matsumoto.

Indeed, a spacecraft on the water
