Hatchobori was buried during the Kanei era, and a waterway called Hatchobori in eight towns (approximately 873m) was excavated. After the Teramachi era from 1611 (1611) to 30 years, the Shimomachi district and the Meiji Restoration, which changed into the "Kumiyashiki of Yoriki Concentric" Shimomachi district.　Hatchobori, which became a burnt field in the Great East Japan Earthquake of 1923, and Nishi Hatchobori 3.4-chome was completely destroyed in the US incendiary bomb in 1945 ... now a town where shops, office buildings, and condominiums are lined up neatly.　　◆The 50th anniversary commemorative magazine "My Town Hatchobori" Web version of the town council establishment

(Aside from) My ancestors were Nishi Hatchobori 4-chome, and since the Edo period, Edo Komon and embroidery were the family business, but due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, there were no business closures or historical materials.

<Start> Hatchobori Station A2 → "Hatchobori (Sakuragawa) Ruins, Sakuragawa Park" → "Hibiya Inari," → "Monument of Takenori Horibe" → "Kameshima Bridge"

In the Edo period, Kameshima Bridge, where Funami Bansho was located, see the Kamejima River, Nihonbashi Suimon, and Sky Tree from Hashigami.

Walk at Hatchobori 3-chome (Heisei-dori) → Watch out! Lotus cutlet curry "Rodan" → portable shrine, a Shinto-Buddhist store, Sangoro Akiyama Shoten → Hatchobori Suzuran Street → Japanese sweets Nishi-Hatchobori "Aoyagi" → Japanese sweets "Hatchobori Iseya" → "The site of Hatchobori's power and concentric mansion" <goal>

↓"Aoyagi" was founded in 1920, and the third generation recommendation is "Ajikaku" and "Chrysanthemum" of the National Confectionery Tourism Expo Honorary Daikin Award plaque ... Raw Japanese sweets with beautiful and masculine taste! That's right.

↓"Hatchobori Iseya" ... Since its establishment in 1907, we have been particular about rice cakes and beans, "Don't degrade the quality" ... We have been protecting from our predecessors and trying to keep tea sweets that we usually use without hesitation. "From HP,"

Kachidokibashi Kachidokibashi, Eitai Bridge Eitaibashi, Kiyosubashi Kiyoshibashi are pronounced as "~bashi", but the nameplates of the bridge are "Kachidokihashi", "Eitaihashi", "Kiyoshihashi". It is written.

For a long time, the pronunciation of "~bashi" is usually cloudy, but I was wondering why the nameplate is written as "~hashi".

This means that the turbid pronunciation of "~bashi" does not mean that the turbidity of the river leads to the turbidity (from a commentary on a TV program).

So, I saw the nameplates of some bridges in Chuo-ku whether they were "~bashi" or "~hashi".

I thought there were many things that wrote "~hashi", but as far as I checked it, it was about the same.

　Many customers are coming to Japan, Tokyo, and Chuo-ku due to the easing of Viza conditions and the depreciation of the yen.

I try to be kind to treat foreign customers.

I will show you what was good and troubled in my experience.

１） Travelers from China...

　I was asked the way, but I was asked for the way in a language neither Mandarin nor Taiwanese.

　In Mandarin, I answered "Shirando", but the customer was smart.

　I showed me the photo taken with my smartphone and probably said, "Where is this building?"

　　　I knew right away.

　Please show me a picture of the Sapporo Lion's building that I know very well.

　I was able to take you to the front of the shop safely.

２） Foreign travelers who can't speak English ... It's a little long story.　Please be patient, please.

　On the way back to Kumamoto-kan, I was a little hungry, so when I was looking at the menu in front of the restaurant to eat something, I was going to eat something.

　An older woman than me spoke with a smiling face.

　She said, "Psycho, Goo."　I said, "Is Psycho the name of the place?　What does Goo mean?", But I don't speak English.

　Once upon a time, on the island of the Caribbean, local people said, "Psycho!　I remember saying "Seiko Issciko."

　Is Seiko a Seiko?　Do you mean Gu (Gu)? If you hear that, you can't respond clearly.

　"Well, let's take you there," he said.　

　While walking, "Where did you come from?　Are you a Frenchman?" He was a traveler from a Middle East country that has friendly relations with the United States.

　As I expected, Goo was GU and was meeting with a friend at 18:20 in front of the store across it.

　The arrival time was 18:23, so we waited together for a while for her friend to appear.

　Even if you wait for about 15 minutes, it will not appear at all.　There is no incoming record because the mobile phone should be contacted.　Do you know your friend's phone number? When asked, "I haven't registered!"

　You can go home because you wait alone.＞I said something like that, "So, what is the name of the hotel you are staying in?" When I heard that "Ginza!"

　There are a lot of Ginza 0., etc. Ginza Hotel.

When asked what direction it was, in the direction of Ginza 8-chome, go about three traffic lights and turn right.

　"I'll check the name of the hotel in that area at the police box there, so please wait a moment," and go to Ginza 4-chome police box.

　At the police box, I was pasting a map with the name of the hotel in Ginza.

　I wrote down the name of Ginza Kokusai Hotel or Ginza Com's Inn, returned to her, and said two names, and replied, "The two are different."

　When I thought it was in trouble, "Yes.　I had a hotel card key." That's right.　The hotel is a famous hotel located in Ginza 1-chome.

　"It's the opposite direction.　But it's a place I know very well, so I'll send it to the hotel. "

　On the way to the hotel, "Did you see Tiffany?　Then, what about this florist?" When asked, "Oh!　I remember this florist. ", even at the corner of Melsa, I feel uneasy.　"Do you see the sign called Hotel M over there?　That's what you say, "I think so."

　In such a way, I sent it to the hotel and shook hands firmly in front of the hotel door.

　Taking this opportunity, <Let's save photos of famous places in Ginza on your smartphone and use them for directions!＞I thought it was.
