Since its opening on November 8th, I took a look at the information center, which has already become a popular spot in Tsukiji with many exposures such as newspapers and TVs. As soon as you leave Tsukiji Station, a new building is built in front of the main hall. The bright entrance of the first floor with glass is a corner dealing with cafe TSUMUGI and one-stroke notes and incense. In the back of the cafe, a photo exhibition of "Honanji 400 Years" is being held, and photographs of those days are displayed in chronological order. When I asked for permission to shoot, I was thrilled with a smiling response saying "Please help me." First of all, it is a fairly spacious space with about 50 to 60 seats in the cafe. I'm surprised to see the menu. Several herbal teas with original blends named Japanese tea and Peppin tea, original drinks using tea, coffee, and several sweets and shaved ice! 。 There are everything from breakfast set to lunch table and pasta. It's a lineup that conveys the seriousness of Mr. Honganji. The "breakfast rice porridge set" with 18 kinds of side dishes seemed to be popular and delicious, but this is until 11 o'clock. I heard a voice saying, "Do you have any more?"

　

When I asked the service, it was said that this menu was introduced on TV. The requested "Kishu Bincho charcoal charcoal grilled coffee" (580 yen extra) was accompanied by a cute hourglass and was explained, "Please eat after 3 minutes." If you like shaved ice, I asked, "Is there all year round?", "I'm planning so far. I'll be waiting for you next time," he replied.

　

Next, I took a look at the book center on the second floor. It seems that there are nearly 3,000 points in the center of Buddhist books. Certainly there may be demand to collect only Buddhism-related books. It is a wide range of items from "Tanmusho" to Kaoru Takamura's "Kukai", English Buddhist commentary, and fairy tales. I purchased "Tanmusho" with commentary and "I understand Buddhism well in super easy English". "Hanwakayu" is Wisdom Water. It seems that some people say, "This can be used."

　

At night's cafe, you can enjoy alcohol while looking at the illuminated main hall.

　

The predecessor of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, Asakusa Mido, was founded in 1617 (1617) near Yokoyamacho. It was burned down by the great fire of the Meiryaku era (Meiji 3rd year 1657), and in 1679 (1679), Mido was completed in Tsukiji ("Tsukiji Gobo"). It was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake and rebuilt in 1934 as an ancient Indian-style stone building. In 2014 (2014), main hall, gateposts (main gate, north gate, south gate), and stone walls were designated as heavy sentences. I'm a little bit confusing. (From "Chuo-ku Fun Encyclopedia")

　

Next time, I would like to enter by 11:00 and try the "Okayu Set". The number of best cafes has increased during a walk in Tsukiji.

　

Tsukiji Honganji Cafe TSUMUGI 8:00 to 21:00 a.m.

Book Center 10:00 to 17:00 a.m.　

 

 

On the last weekend of November, we went to Hamarikyu Onshi Garden on a calm sunny day of Koharu weather.

The autumn leaves were in full bloom, so many people were surprised.

The autumn leaves are maples, cherry blossoms, and autumn leaves.

Yellow leaves are ginkgo, each beautiful.

The autumn leaves of the rose tree

I enjoyed the yellow leaves of sawtooth oak

During this season, the seasonal feature of the Hamarikyu Garden, "Yukitsuri" and "Yukitsuri"

You can also see "Komomaki" for pest control.

The flowers are blooming with yellow camellia.

It's a red camellia sasanqua.

The "flower garden" seems to have been sown with canola flower seeds, and in spring it will be a whole canola flower field.

The Hamarikyu Garden will delight our eyes whenever you come.

I went to Tsukiji Market. "Tsukiji" is a land that reclaims the sea and swamps, as everyone knows. Due to the great fire of the Meiryaku era in 1657, the Edo Asakusa Gobo in Nihonbashi Yokoyama-cho disappeared, and the land that reclaimed the sea of Hatchobori was subtracted by the Shogunate as an alternative land. It is the beginning of Tsukiji. To put it simply, Tsukiji was converted to Teramachi / Samurai residence ⇒ Naval ⇒ Central Wholesale Market.

　

And now, "TSUKIJI" is famous as a market city in the world. This time, it was a city walk to search for rare information in such a city.

　

It is famous that Tsukiji was home to Japan's first hotel, Tsukiji Hotel Building, but surprisingly unknown is that there are currently accommodations in Tsukiji Market. Its name is Tsukiji Market Welfare Hall. The location is located on the right side of the Fish Extension Center Museum in Kachidoki Kadoguchi. It seems that there are many people who participate, such as tours of tuna auctions.

　

　

This photo shows the in-house market. Enter the seafood Hashikado and aim for Yokocho. The first thing I would like to introduce is "Shigerusuke Dango". It is a shop that became the model of the nursery rhyme "Dango Three Brothers". It is a dumpling shop that is favored by Masahiko Sato, a media creator who wrote the lyrics.

The photo on the right is Yoshinoya Tsukiji No. 1 store that everyone knows well. Founded in 1899 on the fish shore of Nihonbashi. It is said that the name "Yoshinoya" was named after Yoshino-cho, Osaka, the birthplace of the founder Eikichi Matsuda.

　

In the market, there are not only bookstores but also library rooms. In addition, there were clinics and dental clinics, and I was a little surprised.

　

And speaking of the on-site market, it is a lively view of freight vehicles and tarre running. Trucks, forklifts, and tarle are running narrowly in the hall. In a sense, it is really dangerous, so you need to pay more attention. After all, the most noticeable thing is the turret track known as turret truck. This tarre makes a small turn, and can be rotated even in a small space. It seems that the maximum loading capacity is 1000kg. At present, most turrets are powered by rechargeable motors, and the sound is very quiet. Of course, if you register as a small special vehicle, you can run on public roads. This time, I was able to take a photo of the aligned Tale charging. (The wiring is connected to each tarle from the pillar and charged.) In addition, the photo at the bottom is a found bulletin board next to the main gate. (Today's lost items were listed as telephones, raw oysters, and whale bacon. Did you drop the ingredients you just purchased when you carry them with tarre? This is a story unique to Tsukiji Market. What's more strange is the phone. Did you take the child machine used in the office outside and drop it? Yes, that's the only thing!

、

　

In addition, there is a bus stop in Tsukiji. That's why the bus is running on the same road as the truck, Tale. The bus is from JR Shimbashi Station to Tsukiji Chuo Market (circulation) city 01. On weekdays, the first train departing at Shimbashi Station is as early as 5:02, but it is important to note that the last Tsukiji Market is also 23 wards in Tokyo, but it is fast at 17:20. And there is no Sunday or public holiday service. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a bus dedicated to customers and related parties using the Tsukiji Market.

　

Aside from that, at the same time as the opening of the Tsukiji Market in 1935, a freight line opened between Shiodome Station and Tokyo Ichiba Station. It is a well-known fact that the Tsukiji Market is fan-shaped to secure a long railway platform on the premises. I've also seen railroad crossings, which are evidence of the draw line. It seems that this will be Ginza 8-chome by address.

The photo on the right shows the street next to the Asahi Shimbun, where there was a drop-in line from Seikamon in Tsukiji Market. The railroad crossing is ahead.

　

And the last one is the weeping ginkgo that has begun to turn red at Namiki Shrine.

It will surely be more beautiful yellow by the time of the third rooster.

　

 

 

　On November 23, at the Hamarikyu Garden Garden, a guided tour "Garden Guide by Gardener" Gardener "" will be held around the garden while introducing the garden plants and trees in the garden and preparing for winter. Was.

(10:30 to 13:30 to 2 times)

About 1 hour walk along the course of 300 years of pine-former Inao Shrine-Flower Field-Uchibori Square-Hanagien-Non Liaokan Ruins-Pointed Pond-Matsuno Ochiya with the guidance of a gardener.

The difference between the 300-year-old pine tree and the torii gate, the 300-year-old pine tree, the Kinkaku-ji Temple fence, the 300-year-old pine tree, the Kinkaku-ji Temple fence, and the Yotsumegakine around the old Inao Shrine, how to make baked log piles, the camellia sasanqua, and the matsukomokumoku-style guide.

 

 

　On November 18th, Tsukiji Nami Inari Shrine "Tori-no-ichi Fair" (second rooster).

Due to Saturday and the date of the Tsukiji Fish Market One-round Festival, the precincts are crowded with many worshipers.

The shrine's Tori-no-ichi Fair, which began at 18:00 the day before and until 24:00 on the day of Tori-no-ichi Fair, came to buy kumade from lucky items. Each time a sale is completed, a lively voice of three tights echoes in the precincts.

I hear that there are many visitors from 0:00 to 1:00 during the night of Tori-no-ichi Fair. On the grounds, there are also good luck kumade amulet "Kakkome" with fortunes (the lucky lottery presents "sea bream gold with gold leaf" and "special items from famous Tsukiji stores") and vermilion seal stamp limited to Tori-no-ichi Fair.

 

 

　

　Following the purple ribbon, a symbol of eradication of violence against women, the campaign to end violence against women (Cabinet Office and other ministries and agencies of the Gender Equality Promotion Headquarters) (November 12-November 25) On November 12, the purple light lit up the Tokyo Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower purple.

(Tokyo Tower: Diamond veil with purple image "Dream Pink Aqua Blue Mix" lit.)

Purple Lighting calls for the eradication of violence that significantly violates women's human rights, such as DV, sexual offenses, sexual harassment, and stalking, and told victims, "Do not worry alone, Please consult. "

During the exercise period, purple light-up was carried out at landmarks such as towers and commercial facilities nationwide that support the purpose.

From Sumida River Ohashi to Kiyosu Bridge and from the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki to Tsukiji Market, each of the towers in message colors shines.
