Walking from Dansho Bridge to Hachiman Bridge; Ask the old Dansho Bridge

[O'age] July 30, 2016 09:00

"Overview of Dansho Bridge and Former Dansho Bridge" is as follows.

 

Danjobashi: : It is located on Kajibashi Street, 2-3-chome, Kyobashi. In 1913 (1913), it was erected upstream of the former Dansho Bridge (Kaedegawa).

Moto Danjobashi (former Danjobashi) :The name of the bridge was described as a name bridge in the Kanei era, Shoo era, and Meiryaku era, "Togoehashi" in the figure of 1700 (1700), and later it became Bunsho Bridge. It is derived from Shimada Dansho Kosuke, where mansion was located in Hatchobori (former Matsuyamachi) east of this bridge. In 1913 (1913), Dansho Bridge was erected upstream of Moto Dansho Bridge, so it was renamed Moto Dansho Bridge and survived, but was abandoned due to land readjustment. In Tokyo City, since this bridge was Japan's first domestic bridge, it was relocated and preserved as Hachiman Bridge at its current location (Koto-ku) in May 1929. The bridge was first built in 1878 (1878) by using domestic cast iron and steel. It was designated as a national important cultural property in 1977 (1977). 1989 (1989) Received the Honor Award of the Civil Engineers of the United States for the first time in Japan. A bridge with a chrysanthemum emblem. Bridge length 15.1m, width 9.0m. (Note) Excerpt from bridge, Hashizume open space, Chuo-ku Board of Education in Chuo-ku

 

Overview of Walking:
Walking through Kajibashi-dori, Eitai-dori St. to the destination heading east (the nearest station: departure starts at Takaracho Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, and the terminal ends at Monzennakacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line and Toei Oedo Line)

 
From Toei Subway Takaracho Station, go east along Kajibashi Street to the current Dansho Bridge. There is a symbolized model of the former Dansho Bridge in the park on the left (north side), and a monument of Dansho Bridge installed by Chuo-ku in the park on the right.

Soon on the left, at the corner of Keika Square, there is an explanation board of the "Monoshiri Encyclopedia" p59 14 Hatchobori's power and concentric mansion. Go straight and cross Yaesu Street at Shinkawa 2-chome. I think this is around the southwestern side of the former Echizen moat. Cross to the right side of Kajibashi Street (in the direction of Chuo-ohashi Bridge) and proceed toward Eitai Bridge.

A little before the Eitai Bridge West Signal, a narrow road between the first gas station on the right and the building in front of it, seems to be the trace of Shinkawa. At the end, you can see Shinkawa stone monument p5777 in the distance. In addition, go through Kajibashi Street to Eitai Bridge. There is a monument of p565 seafarer education in Hashizume.

Cross the Eitai Bridge (important cultural property: current extension of life and the sidewalk is narrow) to Koto-ku side. From the bridge to the lower reaches of the Sumida River, the high-rise house on Ishikawajima, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, towers beautifully. There is an explanation board of Eitai Bridge (important cultural property) on Hashizume on the east bank.

Walk east on Eitai-dori St., turn the sidewalk to the north side of Eitai-dori St. at the traffic light on the way, and proceed east. Cross Kiyosumi-dori while checking the sideways at Monzen-Nakamachi Station, go straight ahead, go north on the east side road of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine to the east gate, turn right andpromenade Yahatabori on the left. When you enter promenade, you can see Hachiman Bridge in front. There is an explanation monument near the bridge.

When I saw Hachiman Bridge, what I noticed was that the width was narrow. The monument in Chuo-ku at Danshobashi, the starting point, is 9.0m wide. However, the local explanation board is 2.0m (also the real thing). (There is a slight difference in length.) For these, Rio Suzuki is written in Nos. 119 and 120 of "News from Local Room". It seems that renovation was carried out when the former Dansho Bridge was installed as Hachiman Bridge at the current location.
On the day when I saw Hachiman Bridge for the first time, I saw the energetic elementary school students crossing the school, and the oldest iron bridge (important cultural property) in Tokyo more than 130 years ago was used quietly and quietly. I felt the splendor.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 19, 2016 18:00

A special exhibition of railway photography, "Special Railway Scenes," is being held at Creation Gallery Nihonbashi Hakozaki.

Access to "Creation Gallery Nihonbashi Hakozaki" (27-9, 3rd floor, Hakozakicho, Nihonbashi-cho) is easy to understand with photos on the website below.

tetudos04.JPG

The period is from Friday, July 15 to 24 (Sun).

This photo exhibition is not a photo exhibition by a single photographer, but a photo exhibition by people who put their thoughts on railways into photographs.

When I asked the president, it was said that even for a special exhibition of railway photography, the content of the work was not biased.

Certainly, the railway photo I imagined = the photo of a steam locomotive with a bombed smoke was only one person, and the rest was a work of a train in the scenery of the four seasons, a work focusing on local lines, a person photograph related to railways, and a work like a seeming avant-garde photo, a really wide range of works were exhibited.

In the work, there was also a wonderful photograph that happened to be reflected in a beautiful natural phenomenon, and I looked at it unintentionally.

I was impressed that the "special railway scene" was the perfect naming.

The creation gallery at the venue was a spacious gallery where about 100 works, mainly large-format photographs, were exhibited.

In addition to displaying photographs, there are also sales of items related to railways and their railways.

Introduction of the taste of Goto Nagasaki "Isemaru Goto"

[Pampon] July 11, 2016 09:00

Hello. It's on the top. It's hot today too!

 

Continuing from last month, I will tell you about Kayabacho Gourmet Information.
This time, I would like to introduce a Nagasaki restaurant named "Goshima Isemaru".
The location is 2-3-9, Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, Hayao Building 2F.
Facing Sakura-dori St., there is a large cherry tree in front of the shop, and the cherry blossom viewing season is very beautiful.
Currently, lunch is not open, but it is open only at night.
 
I feel that there are many regulars who come here in search of the taste of the local area.
Next time, I would like to take a junior from Nagasaki and please! I think it's a good idea.
Anyway, each item is exquisite. Assorted sashimi is also sent directly from the production area (Goto).
Born in Sapporo, I am impressed by the fish that I have never eaten.
"Aji no Rimi fried" recommended by the shop was also the best.

We enjoyed local sake and finally ate Nagasaki Sara udon.
 

If you are going to have a drinking party in Kayabacho and are looking for a shop, please try it as a candidate.♪

 

Speaking of "Nagasaki", an antenna shop just opened in Nihonbashi in March this year.

Have you ever been there? I would like to visit there by all means.
