"Residential Chuo-dori" is the border between "Irifune" and "Minato" in Chuo-ku, and also the street that passes through the center of "Akashicho".

"Residential land" refers to Tsukiji foreign settlement that was established around here at the beginning of the Meiji era.

The intersection where "Idomechi Chuo-dori" and "Idomechi-dori" intersect is the "Akashi Elementary School Intersection", and this intersection is composed of Akashi Elementary School, Catholic Tsukiji Church, St. Luke International Hospital, and St. Luke International Hospital Old Building.

Vivid pink, orange, and yellow flowers are blooming at the base of the street tree along Chuo-dori, a settlement north of the intersection in front of Akashi Elementary School (map above, pink b).

By the way, on both sides of this street, there are many monuments indicating that they are the birthplace of so-called mission schools.

The photo above is the monument of the birthplace of Xiaosei Gakuen.

The flower that blooms is Lantana. The Japanese name is Shichihenge (seven change).

It is an evergreen small shrub belonging to the genus Cychigenge, native to Central and South America.

It is said that the seven changes in the Japanese name are derived from the gradual change in the color of the flower.

The flowering time is long from May to November, and it continues to bloom.

By the end of this flower, it's almost winter.

 

 

　

Last month, when I visited Hamarikyu Onshi Garden with an acquaintance, I knew for the first time, but in the park, I can lend a stylish umbrella free of charge instead of a parasol.　

On sunny days, I thought it was very convenient not only for the heat, but also for the prevention of sunburn.　

It seemed to have a good reputation among foreign customers.　

　

　

Last month, when I visited Hamarikyu Garden with my friend, I have found out that the park offers free rental Japanese style parasol.　

This paper made parasol not only keeps off the heat but also avoids direct sunlight which I thought was very convenient.

Foreign guests also seemed to be satisfied with the parasol.

Tsukiji Honganji holds a lunchtime concert on the last Friday of every month.

　

　

Speaking of the last Friday of every month, it is called Premium Friday from this year.

However, once a month lunchtime concert is a little richer than usual.

It's perfect for spending time.

　

The main hall of Tsukiji Honganji Temple is a pipe organ consisting of 2,000 large and small pipes, which is rare for a temple.

At the lunchtime concert, there is a classical music centering on this pipe organ.

The performance of a Buddhist hymn will be performed.

　

　

Before the concert, Buddhist monk will tell the story.

We recommend that you stay at your seat earlier than the start time (12:20).

　

There are no photos during the performance, but the warm sound echoing in the hall is very good.

It was pleasant.

　

　

Admission is free and anyone can enjoy it without reservation.

The next event will be held at 12:20 on September 29 (Fri).
Please go to Tsukiji for the upcoming Premium Friday.

Photos of the old festival of Mr. Namiki and half coat of one Oda (1-chome Odawaracho) appeared.

Please take a look.

The road in this photo is not paved, so I think it was in the early 1980s or before.

Tsukiji 7-chome was the old town name Odawaracho 1-chome.

　

　

The building in the photo was a bakery factory called Olim Pick, where I went to buy it when I was a child. I remembered this, but my favorite bread was ham bread with ham sandwiched between coppe bread.

I think Olimpick had a shop in Ginza.

　

<<<<<It has changed so much now. >>>

　

　

　

　

　

　

This Oda Ichi's half-wearing came out with the photo. Everyone in the old photo probably wore this half coat. 　

 

 

"Mejiro pushing" is an example of the concentration of things because the small bird Japanese white-eye flocks from autumn to winter and stops side by side in trees.

Today, on the railing of the slope at Tsukiji River Ginza Park, I saw "Hato push" instead of "Japanese white-eye push", but I saw it gathered in this park before I saw it, but it was the first time I saw it lined up in a line.

Tsukiji River Ginza Park is a park built on the Metropolitan Expressway on both sides of the Mannenbashi Bridge on the way from Higashiginza to Tsukiji along Harumi-dori St.

The Metropolitan Expressway was built by reclaiming the Tsukiji River, which used to flow here in the past.

It seems that the original Japanese white-eye push was also seen from autumn to winter, but today's "doo push" was also seen on the day when it suddenly cooled down, and it made me feel the changing seasons.

 

 

Hello, this is Minori.

This time, I went to the birthplace of Shuyo Gakuen and the birthplace of headwater Tokyo Junior High School in Kanto Gakuin.

　

There was a monument on the road near Akashi Elementary School, the sidewalk at Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge West Intersection.

There is a stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School nearby.

　

It was a very hot day in the summer road.

　

●The land of Shuyo Gakuen's launch

In 1875 (1875), "Tsukiji Language School" opened by a missionary of the Sun Mall Shudokai, who had been conducting Christian missionary and educational philanthropic activities in Yokohama, was the whole body of Futaba Gakuen. In 1909 (1909), moved to Rokubancho, Chiyoda-ku. A pair of monuments like a heart on the road side feels relieved when you look at them.

　

　

●The birthplace of headwater Tokyo Junior High School in Kanto Gakuin

Near the stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School, there is a stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School.

Kanto Gakuin began on September 10, 1895 (1895) at Kutsukiji Reservation 42-43 (currently Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku), when the U.S. Baptist Engagement Association established Tokyo Junior High School.

　

　

From the stone monument of the birthplace of Futaba Gakuen, pass the stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School to Akashi Elementary School, and you will go to St. Luke's College of Nursing and St. Luke's International Hospital to take a break at St. Luke's Garden opposite.

In addition, if you take the traffic light in front of St. Luke's International Hospital toward Tsukiji 7-chome, you will be able to get to Akatsuki Park.

　

It is said that Akashicho was derived from the place name because the scenery was similar to "Akashinoura" in Akashi, Harima country (now Hyogo prefecture).
