Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

On 1/16, at the International Exchange Salon hosted by the Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association
I enjoyed making kites with people from all over the country (volunteer).

　

The place is Tsukiji Akashicho, which has been a foreign settlement since the Meiji era.
Lecturer is Shigeki of Taimeiken's "Kite Museum" and many kites.
It was exhibited at the venue, and it was created on the kite kit while drawing the desired design.

(By the way, I'm the Red Dharma's design)

　

To the nearby Akatsuki Park
Let's fly a kite! I hate it, because the wind was too low, it didn't rise too high, but
The memories of childhood can be revived, and the foreigners can have fun at will.
I was spending time. There were people from many countries such as China, Vietnam and Spain.
(I'm going to start flying kites somewhere next time.)

　

By the way, more than 5,000 foreigners live in Chuo-ku and are increasing.　
From now on, I think the spirit of OMOTENASHI will be important.

It was in the New Year's pine tree that passed by a hurry. At the end of last year, I participated in the stamp rally called "Toto norenkai".
Many are located in places called downtown Tokyo (Chuo-ku, Taito-ku, Sumida-ku, Arakawa-ku, Koto-ku, Chiyoda-ku, Minato-ku).
It is a story that he made good legs regardless of the rain and wind while traveling back and forth between Edo and the present (exaggeration! I'm going alone.

　

"Toto norenkai" is a collection of 54 goodwill shops founded in Edo and Meiji eras and has a history of more than three generations and 100 years in Tokyo.
It is surprising that it was launched during the postwar turmoil period of 1951.
Tsukudani, eel, amazake, dumplings, glasses, fruits, laver, lacquerware, Japanese paper, tea, brush, bento, folding fan, toothpicks, etc.
Knife, Inari sushi, sweets, taiko, tempura, sukiyaki, tofu, Western cuisine, soba, footwear, Buddhist altars, dolls, duck, sake, anko pot,
Bread, kimono, hahabahabaki, tabi, hampan, bonito flakes and everyday items such as clothing, food and shelter are friendly.
Meanwhile, 26 long-established brands have shops in Chuo-ku. (Chuo-ku, \ (^ o ^)/)

I usually stopped by several shops, but in the future it seems that I will go more easily.

This is a page of the scenery of the beginning of the year 2016.

It was warm outside of the season and sweated when I walked.

 

It's a landscape near the riverside.

 

I don't need any extra words.

 

I look forward to seeing you again this year.

 

 

At the municipal bicycle parking lot from January 5 this year

Temporary use has started.

  

Immediately at the Bizenbashi Bicycle Parking Lot, I tried to use it.

　First, take a bicycle into the bicycle parking lot, then turn to the vacant number 33.

I'll put the front wheel of the bicycle. Then, in about 10 seconds, "Gachan" and the front wheel were cut.

Rock.

  

　I'll go back after shopping for about an hour, and then go to the tollgate.

　Enter your number 33 in the number frame.

　Because it is free, the front wheels of the bicycle are released immediately.

　I was able to embark on my bicycle.

　It's still the first attempt, and the staff is waiting.

　When I ask, the first two hours are free.

After that, 100 yen will be required every 8 hours.

　In other words, after placing a bicycle first

It's 100 yen up to 10 hours.

I was kind enough to teach you.

I've got a lot of luggage after shopping.

It's dangerous to go home by bicycle late at night.

I happened to meet my friends and drink alcohol.

It's very convenient.

　Let's enjoy your bicycle life safely using the bicycle parking lot.

For details, please see the December 1st edition of the ward bulletin.

　

 

 

　　This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Tokyo Marathon in 2007, and will be held on February 28 (Sun).

I have been walking happily every year since the year of the event, visiting historic sites and delicious shops on this course.

I would like to introduce this fun free guide. This is a tour conducted annually by the NPO Tokyo City Guide Club (abbreviated as TCGC).

　

In Chuo-ku, you can buy puppets and amazake in Ningyocho, enjoy Tsukishima Monja for lunch (this is at your own expense), and buy side dishes from famous shops is also considered.

Today, I would like to take up "Suzuran Street" as a theme. When I wrote an article in the past, I mistakenly told me about this street ("Ginza Suzuran Street") (the part has already been modified). This time, I would like to dig deeper into this street so as not to make a mistake as a correspondent who correctly conveys sightseeing information in Chuo-ku in the future.

Speaking of Ginza Suzuran Street, it is a vertical street from Ginza 5-chome to 7-chome on the west side of Chuo-dori. Compared to the major Chuo-dori, there are not many traffic, but along Harumi-dori St., there is a gate with a large word "SUZURAN ST", which has a presence.

 Furthermore, as you can see in the article "MMM ~ Feel the European Wind in Ginza (/archive/2015/12/mm.html)" dated December 30, it is also a street lined with wonderful shops. [Ginza Tree Fruit Building on Ginza Suzuran Street] ⇒What is this? 。 。 gorilla is climbing the wall!

 

By the way, it is such Ginza Suzuran Street, but in fact, the name of the road changes depending on the location (south and south) in the same Ginza. From 4-chome across Harumi-dori St., the north is Ginza Gas Lantern Street, and the 8-chome is Konparu Street. [Restored gas lamps on Gas Lamp Street] 

 

[Kinharu Street]

 

There are three names on one street and it is not "the first place, the former fish of Hanada", but "(Suzu) Run (Kinharu) Geisha, Ichi (1, 2-chome) is Akari (= Gas Lamp) It seems that a bad Kawayanagi will be created. However, in fact, Ginza has other "Sideyo-dori" (Azuma ⇒ Shigaraki, brick ⇒ west 5 ⇒ watch), so I want to be careful when introducing shops etc. [Ginza Regional Street Map (Chuo-ku Road Section Map was modified)] ⇒1 Azuma ⇒ Shigaraki (yellow), 2 gas lamp ⇒ Suzuran ⇒ Kinharu (red), 3 brick ⇒ west 5 ⇒ watch (blue)

 

By the way, I thought that one case was settled, and "Suzuran Street" had another title. In the article on December 29, "Two MIYUKI DORI (/archive/2015/12/post-2960.html)", we introduced two Miyuki-dori in the city, but there were three "SUZURAN DORI". . ーーIn addition to Ginza, "Suzuran Street" in Hatchobori and "Suzuran Street" in Yagenbori (Higashinihombashi).

[Suzuran Street in Hatchobori]

 

Ginza Suzuran Street is also a wonderful street, but "(Hatchobori) Suzuran Street" was also called "Ginza in Shimomachi" before the war, with movie theaters, vaudeville, dance halls, etc. Furthermore, going back to the Edo period, it was a smart area where cool Hatchobori's husband (powerful, concentric) lived. Here, there is an explanation board by the Board of Education of "Hatchobori Yoriki / Concentric Gumishiki Ruins", which is still introduced on the blog on August 18, "Copitiam-in.html) "is an area lined with many attractive shops. [Suzuran Street in Yagenbori]

And "(Yagenbori) Suzuran Street", this is a little quiet street compared to Ginza and Hatchobori, but there is teahouse's "Horitsu Chapo", which was founded in 1717 in Kyoho 2 (Kyoho 2), and there is a Tokyo branch of Dai Nippon pyrethrum known for its "Kincho" mark, and this red mark has a considerable impact on this street.

[Yagenbori Suzuran Street]

 

 "Suzuran Street" is very popular because of the familiarity and clean image of the name, and there are quite a few of the same names nationwide. Its origin seems to be Kanda's Suzuran Street, but now it has been formed until the Tokyo Suzuran Street Summit, where eight Suzuran Streets (Akabane, Asagaya, Ogikubo, Kyodo, Ginza, Tachikawa, and Narimasu) gather around Kanda.

 

Added: Gaslight Street is already complicated just by the explanation so far, but furthermore, the 2-chome part was previously called "Kanze Street". It seems that the name came from the fact that there was Kanze-Yashiki (the residence of Kanzetayu Iemoto of Sarugaku) here during the Edo period, but this area seems to have a similar historical background to Kinharu-dori on 8-chome. In 2004, there was an application for renaming from the local area, and it was renamed Ginza Gas Lantern Street together from 1-chome to 4-chome (Chuo-ku Government Office Road Section Construction Section).
