[I love Chuo-ku! 84.0MHz Hello Radio City (Central FM)

[Dye] August 31, 2017 09:00

It's September already...It's fast.
It has been three and a half years since he became a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association. My son, who was a baby, is almost four years old.

    

    

The other day, I went to radio recording, one of the correspondent's activities.
In one corner of the program called "Hello! RADIO CITY" in Chuo FM, we will introduce the contents of the correspondent blog (`・ ・ ω ・ ́)!

Central FM. The studio on the first basement floor of Kyobashi Square Garden.
You can see it from the outside.

    

    
It's actually the fifth recording.

    

When I was recording for the first time, I never thought I would be talking on the radio, so I was so thrilled in front of the microphone and I don't really remember what I said. (Is it now?...Laugh)

    

But every time, navigator JUMI leads me brightly, and I'm not good at speaking in public, talking about perapella, laughing, or speaking in public than I thought, but it's fun to talk here.

    
However, the last sentence "I love, Chuo-ku!" For some reason, it gets shy and becomes a strange low tension (>_<)
I really love it! !Laugh

Navigator JUMI
As a working mom, she is a senior and a longing woman.

    

    
Also, there are not many opportunities for correspondents to meet each other, so it is one of the pleasures to be able to join together when recording. When you meet face-to-face and ask the story, "Oh, this person is a blog name XX!"

     
This time, I was with "Sumida Fireworks".
The blog of "Sumida Fireworks" thought that the photos were particularly fashionable and cool.
I was happy to be able to take pictures and talk about cameras when writing blogs (*^^*)

    

    
In such a case, correspondents write blogs and talk on the radio about Chuo-ku.

    

Central FM "Hello! RADIO CITY"
There are new discoveries by listening to the backstory of the blog, etc., and it is recommended.☆
You can feel the charm of Chuo-ku more and more.

Kabuto-cho is north-south even across the place name Eitai-dori St.

[Silver] August 16, 2017 16:00

 On a hot day in August, when I went up D1 at Nihombashi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, a foreign couple seemed to be in trouble with a large bagage.

Setsusuke's silver-zou comes close and I'm sorry. May I help you? I said, but I couldn't understand anything, so when I switched to Spanish, I answered "Kabuto-cho". If it's Kabuto-cho, it's a place where the Tokyo Stock Exchange is located, pointing to the north and saying, "That's right!" "I said, but I didn't seem to have a point.

 My husband had a map, so please show me an email with pictures showing the corners of the building, etc.

"That's right. " 、 Vamos !  I started walking.

I'm relieved to be able to guide you safely. Thank you very much.

 The area where "Center Hotel Tokyo: 15-13 Nihonbashi Kabutocho" and "Shimbamba Kuminkan: 11-9 Nihonbashi Kabutocho" is located is Kabuto-cho. I learned from a foreigner.

*By the way, Kayabacho is Kayabacho 1-chome on the north side of Eitai-dori St. and 2-chome and 3-chome on the south side of Eitai-dori St.

 

 

2017 Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine Reitaisai festival Fukagawa Hachiman Festival

[Sam] August 15, 2017 18:00

DSC_0080ELS'.jpg 

DSC_0051RS'G.jpg The festival of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine is also called the Fukagawa Hachiman Festival, and it is said that in 1642, the celebration of the eldest son of Shogun Iemitsu (later Iezuna) was held. Along with the Sanno Festival of Hie-jinja Shrine and the Kanda festival of Kanda-jinja Shrine, it is counted as one of the three major festivals in Edo. It is famous for its first time in portable shrine, along with the screams of "portable shrine Fukagawa, floats Kanda, and dards of Sanno".

This year is the main festival once every three years. Among them, 53 units (1-55) in each town of shrine parishioner held on August 13. No. 4 and No. 42 are missing.) The large portable shrine parades together, and the portable shrine Union imperial procession is a masterpiece.

Starting from Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine, cruise about 8 km from Eitai-dori St. to Daimon-dori Street to Edo Museum Street to Kiyosubashi Street to Hakozaki Minatobashi Street to Eitai-dori St.

One of the highlights is the Eitai Bridge West Intersection at the end of Eidai Bridge. A large amount of water is discharged from fire hoses from both sides, and it is impressive. Stylish performances such as "rubbing", "gifting", and "maiing" are also performed, and the bearer and the audience are united to show excitement. 

 

 

Fukagawa Festival portable shrine Union imperial procession

[saru] August 15, 2017 14:10

On August 13, there was the imperial procession of the portable shrine of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine Fukagawa. In the neighboring town of Monzen-Nakamachi, Koto-ku, shrine parishioner in Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine also includes Shinkawa and Hakozaki in Chuo-ku. This year, at the main festival held once every three years, 55 portable shrines from each shrine parishioner town council ran out and paraded through Koto-ku and Chuo-ku with a vigorous shout of "Wasshoi, Wasshoi," and water was actively poured from the roadside, also known as the "Wasshoi Festival." The festival of Fukagawa Hachiman is one of the three major festivals in Edo, along with the Kanda festival and Sanno festivals. After leaving Yawata early in the morning, portable shrine walked around Koto-ku and then crossed Kiyosu Bridge to Chuo-ku. Pass through Hakozaki, have lunch in Shinkawa, cross the Eitai Bridge, and go to Yawata again. In the Edo period, this Eitai Bridge collapsed during the festival. It is famous for the catastrophe and is also the subject of the rakugo "Eitai Bridge". The weather was bad before and after this day, but fortunately there was no rain on this day, and the water hung on the sunshine reflected glittering, and fantastic photos were taken in the heat.

 The Smile Hotel is located 30 meters, about 1 minute, up Exit 3 of Kayabacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line.

 

In the basement of the hotel, there is a restaurant Shelbourg.

It was a daily menu of ¥930, and on this day there was a serloin grill and a weekly fish lunch. There is a "drink bar" system where soups and drinks are free for +200 yen. I enjoyed beef consommé and cream cone stew.

My friend is sirloin grille that seems to be over 150g. The meat stood jujuju and steam on the table.

◆ Take a bus from the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station

[Sumida Fireworks] August 13, 2017 09:00

Tokyo Station on Saturday evening. Oh, it was a hot day today.

I had to go to Kachidoki Station in Chuo-ku from now on, so I searched for a bus stop bound for Fukagawa Garage, which is out of Yaesu Exit.

 

You can get to Kachidoki by using a bus that leaves the south exit of Marunouchi. Moreover, while watching the streets of Yurakucho, Ginza and Tsukiji. But today, I tried to make a Toei bus from Yaesu Exit.

 

If you are not familiar with Tokyo, the bus stop on this route may be a lot of unfamiliar names.

 

   17:46 Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station

   17:47 Street 3-chome

   17:49 2, Hacchobori

   17:50 Kameshima Bridge

   17:51 Shinkawa

   17:54 2, Shinkawa

   17:55

   17:57 3, Minato

   17:58 Akashicho

   18:00 In front of St. Luke Hospital

   18:01 7, Tsuiji

   18:03 Kachidokibashi Minamizume

   18:04 In front of Kachidoki Station

 

This bus passes through a deep area with a dark downtown color in Chuo-ku. The number is small, but every time I ride it, it tastes different, so I sometimes want to ride it. We lined up in line, boarded the bus, and today we took a position in front of the bus for the first time.

 

 

The bus runs straight from Tokyo Station on Yaesu Street toward Shinkawa and Tsukuda. The left side of Yaesu Street was the old Nihonbashi Ward, and the right side was Kyobashi Ward, so it runs along that border.

After passing the "Peace Bell" at the intersection with Chuo-dori, you will stop at the mysterious bus stop "Dori Sanchome" with a mysterious name.

s_hanabi50-1.jpg

The origin of the name is neither Yaesu Street nor Chuo-dori. It seems to come from the old town name "Tori".

Today, Chuo-dori is the path of the Tokaido that stretched from Nihonbashi in the Edo period, and the name of the elongated town that flourished along the road between Nihonbashi and Kyobashi, the first section of the Tokaido is "dori". It is a commercial area that flourished since the beginning of the Edo period.

Although the name of the town disappeared in 1973, it left its name at the bus stop. It's a nice bus stop.

 

 

The bus passes through the business district, crosses the Kameshima Bridge over the Kamejima River, and enters the Shinkawa area.

 

The name "Shinkawa" is derived from the name of the canal that used to flow east and west, but it has now been reclaimed.

 

At the next Sunday Fukagawa Hachiman Festival, 55 mikoshi shrines will be cruising around here. It's a very favorite summer festival because mikoshi crosses the two popular bridges of the Sumida River.

s_hanabi50-2.jpg

From Fukagawa, we cross Kiyosu Bridge, pass through Hakozaki and here Shinkawa districts, cross the Sumida River at Eitai Bridge, and return to Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine in Fukagawa. In particular, the area around Eitai Bridge is a popular area full of spectators.

s_hanabi50-3.jpg 

The scenery of "watering", which is a feature of this festival, can be seen in various places, and just looking at it, it is a summer festival where you can experience and impress the passion of the people involved in this festival.

s_hanabi50-4.jpg 

In addition, since the Shinkawa area is used for a break time for lunch, it is also a place where the mikoshi museum is in the meantime. It may be a good place for those who want to see the magical mikoshi itself.

s_hanabi50-5.jpg 

 

By the way, if you go straight along Yaesu-dori as it is, you will cross the Sumida River at Chuo-ohashi Bridge. But the bus turns right after a goodbye on Yaesu Street.

 

If you think it has turned, stop immediately at the bus stop of Shinkawa 2-chome, and when you start, turn left without crossing Takahashi in front of you. I'm getting in a hurry.

This hurriedness raises doubts that the bus may have to choose Minami Takahashi to cross the Kamejima River.

 

Minami-Takahashi is a stylish bridge among the bridges around here. It uses the members of the former Ryogoku Bridge, which was rebuilt during the reconstruction of the Great Kanto Earthquake, so it is full of retro feeling. Choosing this bridge to cross the river also makes this bus a lot of trouble.

s_hanabi50-6r.jpg 

 

The bus runs in front of Teppou Inari Shrine. The bus stop is also "Tegunsu". It's an interesting name. It is said that the Sushima, which was once near the mouth of the Sumida River, had a long and elongated shape like a gun, but the interesting name is a little boring.

 

Akashicho is the end of the elevated bridge of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge. We enter an area called "the birthplace of ◯◯◯" with many stone monuments and monuments.

This area was the first to enter a new foreign culture in Tokyo as a `` Tsukiji Reservation Site '' after the opening of the country, but the origin of the name Akashicho in the first place is similar to the scenery of Akashinoura in Hyogo Prefecture There is a theory that it was.

People in the Edo period must have regarded Tsukuda Island, which floats beyond the sea of Akashicho, as Awaji Island, as well as imagine that the beautiful Edo seascape was spreading.

 

 

I stopped at a bus stop in front of St. Luke Hospital under the Bridge of Peace. The godmother of this "Bridge of Peace" is Shigeaki Hinohara, who died at the age of 105 the other day.

s_hanabi50-7.jpg

I hear the sound of the bell. It is the sound of the bell at 18:00 at St. Luke Hospital. A good melody flows in a place with a good atmosphere. Along with the sound of this bell, Dr. Hinohara's thoughts on peace will be passed down under the sky of Akashicho.

s_hanabi50-8.jpg 

 

And the bus passes through the city that used to be called Odawara-cho. Some people call this area back Tsukiji, and there are many hidden famous shops, but when you enter the road behind the alley, unexpected architecture appears in front of you, and it is also a place where you are surprised .

 

Turn left at Harumi-dori St. to Kachidokibashi. I thought that the most cool thing about this bridge was when I drove my own car and crossed it. So today I wanted to take a look at the bridge in front of me. After all, I think it looked better when I drove myself.

 

Crossing the bridge is Kachidoki. I went around various places, but it was surprisingly quick.

 

 

I had time, so I got off at the bus stop of "Kachidokibashi Minamizume". Today, the dusk of the Sumida River seems beautiful, so I decided to go back to Kachidokibashi a little.

s_hanabi50-9.jpg 


There were a lot of clouds, but I was able to see the dark water. It's a good view. After a little more, the Tokyo Tower will be turned on, and many houseboats will appear.

 

I was on the Sumida River Terrace and wanted to cool down in the evening, but I had to go to the station. I was forced to leave this place, walk to Kachidoki Station, and finish a short excursion.
