On Sunday, October 26, "Chuo-ku Health and Welfare Festival 2014" was held at Akatsuki Park, the surrounding Chuo-ku Public Health Center, Time Dome Akashi, etc.
Actually, my wife was taking a dog from my home, so I went to see it when it was cool (laughs).
Many groups participated in various elaborate ways, and on the outdoor stage in the park, various performances were shown, and I think it was quite exciting.
 However, I myself get rid of it as soon as possible and walk around a little.
What is particularly noticeable here is that there are many "birthplaces" of various schools.
At that time, more Christianity-based schools were established in Tsukiji Foreign Settlements by foreigners.
For example, on the premises of St. Luke's College of Nursing next to Akatsuki Park, there are monuments of Rikkyo Gakuin and Women's Academy's Birthplace.
 The birthplace of Keio Gijuku is also around here.
In addition, there are still famous and prestigious schools that originated in this area, such as Aoyama Gakuin and Meiji Gakuin.
Why don't you visit the map with one hand?

For two days from October 11 (Sat) to 12 (Sun), the Tsukiji Autumn Festival was held at Tsukiji Outer Market, which was crowded with more visitors than usual. There are many items that are sold at bargain prices, and some of those who are looking for shopping seemed to have walked around various shops with large bags.
On the 11th (Saturday), a tour called "Edo Enjoyment Town Walking" and "Tsukiji / Tokyo Bay Coast Yurateku" was also held as a collaborative project between Chuo-ku and Koto-ku. I also participated as one of the guides. Some customers were new to walking slowly in Tsukiji, but they seemed to be wrapped in the charm of this area again. I would be happy if you could say, "I want to come again."
Also, on this day, the "Hatsuho Festival" of [Tsukiji Namiki Shrine] was held. I am ritual thankful for the harvest of autumn. In the afternoon, an old-fashioned "knife style" was also shown.
Tsukiji Central Market is preparing for the relocation to Toyosu, but the off-site market is expected to continue to operate in this area. On the 23rd of this month (Thursday), a new commercial facility [Tsukiji Nippon Fishing Port Market] will open. It is said that fresh seafood from the famous fishing port that Japan is proud of will be provided. I'm looking forward to it!
Prior to the relocation of the Central Market, construction of facilities that Chuo-ku will advance as a new "busy place" for the Tsukiji brand is also underway. It is planned to be a stylish and peaceful facility using the former site of the Tsukiji River tributary, which was previously used for parking lots. (The figure shows the expected completion of quotation from the Chuo-ku construction plan)
It goes without saying that Tsukiji is a place of moisture and liveliness in the future. Please look forward to the development of Tsukiji in the future.

Tea ceremony (Ochiyaya of Nakajima) Nodot (Nakano Bridge)
On October 11th and 12th, "Tokyo Daichakai 2014" was held at Hamarikyu Onshi Garden.
This event started in 2008 to make people who are not familiar with the tea ceremony feel free to enjoy the tea culture and tea ceremony.
One of the main programs of "Traditional WA Impressive from Tokyo", which conveys the appeal of traditional Japanese culture both domestically and internationally, is to introduce the culture of tea and the culture of Edo and Tokyo that has nurtured it.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. In addition to three programs in the park, “Tea ceremony” (Ochiyaya in Nakajima), “Nodot” (Nakano Bridge), “Tea ceremony first experience” (Hanagien)”, a performance of Edo peddler, Edo Dai-Kagura, a stage event with a sumo jinku, Nihon Buyo and shakuhachi, a shakuhachi, a shakuhachi, and a shakuhachi, a shakuhachi, a stage event.
In the "Nodot" corner, in addition to the "Nodot" (3 seats in total) by the tea ceremony federations in Itabashi-ku, Kita-ku, and Chuo-ku, the "English Nodot" by the Meguro-ku Tea Ceremony Federation, and the Tokyo High School Cultural Federation Tea Ceremony Division "High school student field point" is organized.
At the Nodot of the Chuo-ku Tea Ceremony Federation, listen to explanations of the differences between manners and others depending on the school, and listen to the story about the tea utensils on display after receiving them.
On the day, Omotesenke, Urasenke, and Yuuraku were taking turns.
The tea ceremony is a comprehensive art that pursues the ultimate beauty of scenery, tools, manners, etc., and is said to have a spirit of "motivation" at the root of a unique philosophy.
Under the autumn sky, it was a time to get a glimpse into a part of the deep tea ceremony world.

When you get off Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line and walk toward Tsukiji Market, you will see "Tsukiji Honganji" on your left.
People who see this building for the first time may be overwhelmed by its appearance.
It is an ancient Indian-style building completed in 1934 (Showa 9) before the war, and I think it is a design that is rarely seen in Japan registered Tangible Cultural Property.
The person who designed it was Chuta Ito, the first architect to receive the Order of Culture.
One of the features of Chuta Ito's design is that many fantasy animals and phantoms are incorporated into the building.
For example, the Kanematsu Auditorium of Hitotsubashi University in Kunitachi City and the Tokyo Metropolitan Memorial Hall in Sumida-ku are known.
And this Tsukiji Honganji also has a lot of animals, so I went to look for it.

First of all, on the outer stairs entering main hall, four lions greet the people. It's an unusual shape with wings.
After visiting in main hall, there was an area downstairs, and there was an animal garden there.
Birds, cows, lions and horses are sitting on the railings of the stairs.
When you go down the stairs, you will see more monkeys and elephants.
 If you look around the temple, is it a youkai on the railing of the stairs in front of shrine office?
I was able to find it in the courtyard. If you still find it, you may find it.
 The buildings of Tsukiji Honganji Temple tend to be caught by its unique appearance, but the inside of the building is also different, and you can enjoy the unique atmosphere of this temple.
Of course, it's a solemn atmosphere. Such animals live and there are stained glass pipes, pipe organs, etc., so it's a church rather than a temple? There is also an atmosphere like that.
There is no admission fee. I hope you will feel free to come in. The precincts of the night are also different, so be sure to take a look .

The Chuo-ku Tourism Association has been conducting since July, "Chuo-ku New Discovery! Do you know the "town walk tour"? On August 28, I applied for an industrial course to visit long-established stores, shops and famous places. We visited three long-established stores founded in the Edo period, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop "Eitaro Sohonho", a lacquerware specialty store "Kuroeya", and a laver shop "Yamamoto-noriten", which developed seasoned seaweed. At the first visit, "Eitarou Sohonho" was held.
 I heard about the invention of Amana sugar and Kintsuba.

In addition, we heard stories such as "Sado's red cobblestone at the villa of the Koza Goto family" at the entrance.
 I bought Kintsuba as a souvenir. On this website, you can see the story of Eitaro candy and gold brim. http://www.eitaro.com/ The show window at Kuroeya's storefront where I visited was decorated with giboshi in Nihonbashi, which was used during the Edo period.
Here, from high-quality lacquerware, our original chopsticks, Nihonbashi, is sold.
 I purchased a business card holder with red Fuji, the thirty-six views of Mount Fuji in Katsushika Hokusai. http://www.kuroeya.com/ At the last visit, "Yamamoto-noriten", seaweed is collected when the plum blossoms bloom, so the circle was used as a ume company emblem, or the wall of the design of the laver spores.
 Since the company's history and Yoko Yamamoto's TV commercials have been long-term, the Guinness Book of Records has been certified.

We heard a very interesting story about the ceiling expressing the frame of a boat that collects seaweed in the store's construction.
  It was a seaweed tasting, and we tasted the canned seaweeds designed by our granddaughter Kitty-chan, but it is a seasoning that adults can also enjoy. I bought two cans. Click here for Yamamoto-noriten's website. http://www.yamamoto-noriten.co.jp/ The "Town Walking Tour" seems to be still being accepted. I recommend a fun walk around the town. http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/machiaruki/
