There are some gardens where cluster amaryllis can be seen, such as the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, but it blooms unnecessarily on the roadside.

　On September 11, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported that one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information "Japanese pampas grass Flowering".

2 days later than normal and 16 days earlier than last year.

Japanese pampas grass is a perennial herb of the family Japanese pampas grass.

It is also called Obana, one of the seven herbs in autumn. It symbolizes autumn and is an important flower in Japanese culture, and has been useful as a decoration for fifteen nights, autumn grass patterns such as flower bird wind moon paintings and lacquerware, local toys such as thin (Japanese pampas grass) earthworms, and roofing materials.

Along the Hakozaki Riverside Green Road, Japanese pampas grass is fighting against the wind against the backdrop of Eitai Bridge.

By the time the flowers open, the ears become fluffy and white, silver, and eventually shine golden when the season deepens.

It is impressive to bathe in the sun and shine in silver against the water surface of the Sumida River, and it is a scene like this season.

　A new building is being constructed on Yaesu Street from Tokyo Station and next to Kuyasu Bridge, which is located beyond the Metropolitan Expressway, and next to Kaedegawa Kuyasubashi Park adjacent to Kuyasu Bridge. The temporary enclosure surrounding the construction site is "smart" and cool!

On the temporary enclosure of the white background, information related to Kyobashi, Yaesu, and Hatchobori around the construction site, as well as customs of Edo, are drawn with pleasant and concise illustrations.

In the temporary enclosure, I learned for the first time that there is a theory that the origin of the name of Sharaku Toshusai is in Hatchobori. Jurobei Saito, who served the Awa Tokushima Domain, said, "It seems that he came from Saito, who lives in the eastern island (Edo Hatchobori).

This work was a new construction of the headquarters of NIPPO Co., Ltd., one of Japan's leading pavement construction companies. When I asked an advertising company in Chuo-ku to create this temporary enclosure.

Tokyo Dumbo has a wonderful attitude as a company headquartered in Chuo-ku, and I also felt that the design advertising company did a good job.

The construction period seems to be about one year more, so I hope you can see it when you pass near you.

Hello. It's the end of walking.

How are you going to spend?

By the way, in this month's article, do you know "IMANO Fruit Factory"? The location is located at Exit 1 of Kayabacho Station Subway. The fruit shop I've been interested in for a long time. I want to eat it at least once because it is on the commuting road! I thought it was. I bought this fruit sandwich. Recently, it's popular to upload photos of fruit sandwiches on SNS.

　I took a walk near Kayabacho and Shinkawa, which I rarely visit.　It is an area with a quiet appearance and is perfect for walking.

　Course: From Exit 3 of Hatchobori Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. Time for a walk: One hour on a tour of Kayabacho. About an hour and a half in total

１） The site of Zuiken Kawamura residence: Location 1-8 Shinkawa, Chuo-ku, located on a road in front of Hotel Villa Fontaine Kayabacho.

During the Edo period, there was a mansion of Zuiken Kawamura (1618-1699), 　who was active as a merchant of the Shogunate.

　Ruiken (also written as Zuiken and Suimi) was born to a farmer in Ise country and went to Edo to become a timber merchant. During the Great Edo Fire in 1657 (1657), he bought up Kiso timber and made a fortune. After that, he contracted civil engineering and construction of the Shogunate and various daimyo to build enormous assets. In addition, based on its financial resources, we conducted many projects such as shipping and flood control.

　One of the most important of Ruiken's achievements is that he has succeeded in reducing transportation costs and periods by cultivating the U.S. route to row Oshu and Dewa's territory rice to Edo, and various rivers including the Yodo River. It is said that he worked hard on flood control in Kinai by Shuji. In his later years, he was listed in the flagship for his achievements.

　According to Gesshin Satou's "Takeko Chronology", Ruiken moved to Minami-Shinbori 1-chome (the area) around the Jokyo period (1684-1688), and the mansion was built in tile roofing, occupied by the southern corner of Shiomachi (now Shinkawa 1-chome 23). main gate faces the current Eitai-dori St., the back gate faces the Shinkawa River, which used to flow around Shinkawa 1-7-9 Shinkawa, and there are four warehouses on the banks of the Nihonbashi River.

Looking at the map of the Rei Kishijima Island during the 　Enpo era (1673-1681), Shinkawa flows through the Horiwari, which is said to have been excavated by Ruiken, and you can know a part of the business.

　Next, follow the road, turn right at the adjacent Across Shinkawa Building, turn right at the next corner again to Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine.

２） Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine:

　According to the "Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine Reconstruction History Magazine" posted on the grounds, this report was published.

The origins of Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine are detailed in the ancient document "Keikoin Yuo", a shrine priest of Ise inner shrine, and the Edo Famous Festival. In 1625, Shusei Keikoin gave a mansion in Edo Daikancho from the second shogun of Tokugawa in 1625 (1625), and set up a place of worship for Ise Ryomiya in the house. After that, in 1657 (1657), it was burned down by the great fire of Edo, so the replacement land was built in shrine hall. Since then, the area has been called Shinkawa because Mizuken Kawamura opened a waterway leading to the Sumida River and became useful for the boatman's service. It became a market. In the early days, the shrine attracted the reverence of the common people as a local god, especially the religion of sake wholesalers. When young sake arrived every year, this dedicated the firstho to the shrine and offered it for the first time thereafter.
Since the patronage of the Shogunate was extinct due to the Meiji Restoration, he has been worshiped exclusively as a guardian deity of sake wholesalers, but in the war on March 9, 1945 (1945), he returned shrine hall to Karasuari. After that, Shinkawa was buried in the scorched earth of the war and lost its old state, but it is the gift of the Imperial Palace that the prosperity of the past is restored again.
Since 1952 (1952) was the year of the restoration of independence from the Peace Treaty came into effect, volunteers of sake wholesalers were deeply impressed by the virtue of the Imperial Palace, and in other words, the reconstruction of the shrine hall. On May 7, 2015, the ground-breaking ceremony andshrine dissembling and reconstruction held the Reitaisai festival Festival.
Here, the origin of the reconstruction of the shrine is described, and the beauty of the business sponsor is posted and passed on to future generations.　October 17, 1952

　　Next, go back on the road you have just arrived to the corner of Across Shinkawa Building, turn right and go south. Go to the ruins of Echizen moat (Echizen moat park).

３） Echizen moat (Echizen moat park): Location Shinkawa 1-2-chome, Chuo-ku

　Beyond the slide, there are explanatory monuments of "Reiganjima Monument" and "The Origin of Reiganjima" (by Reiganjima Preservation Society).

According to "The Origin of Reiganjima" (by Reiganjima Preservation Society), it is said.

　In the Edo period, this area was the site of Echizen Fukui feudal lord and Matsudaira Echizen Mamoru. The mansion was surrounded on three sides by entrances, and this was called "Echizenbori". The revetment of Echizen moat is masonry, and stone wall stones that seem to belong to Echizen moat may be excavated during construction work or investigation of archeological sites. The moat has a width of 12 to 15 (about 20 to 30 m), which was used as a canal, and it seems that a small boat loaded with cargo passed.

　In the Meiji era, the site of Echizen Mamoru became the town name "Echizen Hori", but the moat is gradually reclaimed. After the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 (1923), most of them were reclaimed, leaving a part, and the slightly remaining parts near the Sumida River were completely reclaimed after the war. After that, the name of the town was changed, and it became "Shinkawa" to the present day.

　Nowadays, the names of "Reishijima" and "Echizenbori", which survive the past, can only be learned in history.

Echizenbori Park is on the left hand of the photo, and the building of Akimasa Elementary School can be seen in the back of the front.

　Next, let's take a look at the building of the adjacent Akimasa Elementary School.　　　

４） Akimasa Elementary School,

It is a very ve　　nerable elementary school that celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2016.

On March 1, 　1927 (C.E.D. 1927), Ryojishima (founded on September 1, 1876) and Echizenbori (founded on January 8, 1909) merged and newly opened Akimasa Hirone Elementary School in Tokyo. It is said that it was opened as an elementary school in Tokyo. <Omitted>　Educational activities at the new school building were resumed on September 1, 2014.

　The building is a complex and includes a children's house.　It's a very nice design like a luxury apartment.　In the outline of the basic plan for complex facilities such as Akimasa Elementary School, "Others", "We will inherit the design of the current school building as an exterior design and utilize the materials." There will be a Shinkawa Children's Center with full functions.　It is described. The details are described on this website, so please refer to it.

５） Kameshima Bridge

　At the side of the bridge, panels explaining Kameshima Bridge, Mifunete Gumi (Shogen Riverside), and Zuiken Kawamura are installed.

　In the planting on the right hand across the bridge, "Horibe Yasubei Takeyuki Monument" is built.

　　On the other side of the bridge (south side), there is a panel explaining Sharaku Toshusai and Tadataka Ino.

　　Turn right, go north on the Kamejima River, and head to Shin-Kameshima Bridge.

６） Shin-Kameshima Bridge

　①"No. 1 Junko Inari Daimyojin" is enshrined.

　The shrine was held on November 20, 1616.

The seal is Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the name is "Junko Oga" enshrined deity is Toyouke no Omikami, Ugano Mitama Ogami, Sadahiko Ogami, Omiya Nouri Ogami, Tanaka Oga, and Shino Ogami.

Shintoku is spirit, life, life, livelihood, production, mental and physical health, and deity is home security, rich harvest, business prosperity, Fukutoku harmony, entertainment fulfillment, traffic safety.　Indeed, All right.　The holidays are the monument of the first noon in February, the day of the Imperial Palace in April, November, and November 20, 1737 (AD 1737).　It is said that he recommended and worshiped the spirit of Chiyoda Inari in the town of magistrate's office.　

　　We will continue to investigate the history of the name Junko Ogami.

　②A memorial monument for the victims of the Great Earthquake and a memorial for the victims of the war are installed at the west end of Shin-Kameshima Bridge.

　　I pray for the happiness of those who died in the Great East Japan Earthquake and the war.

　Follow the road straight along the banks of the Kamejima River, turn left at a Chinese restaurant called Tainan Tea Dormitory, and go a little south.

７） Monument of the site of the map site:

On the south side of Kameshima Bridge, there was also an explanation about Dr. Tadataka Ino, but it was explained that Dr. Tadataka Ino lived here and that it was used as a map use place to make survey maps. .

　So far it's an hour tour. It is a shortcut to Kayabacho Station by passing in front of Smile Hotel.

８） Torii Inari Shrine: 3-20 Kayabacho, Kayabacho

　This is the upper residence of Torii Tamba Mamoru Tadaaki (Mibu feudal lord Shimono), which explains the origin of the residence.

　The vermilion torii gate is very vivid, and the enthusiasm of those who are revered is transmitted.

Go a little north, pass in front of the Center Hotel, next to Sakamoto Elementary School, opposite the Metropolitan Police Department Central Police Station, and in front of Chiyodabashi, Ohara Inari Shrine is enshrined.

９） Ohara Inari Shrine:

On the back of the splendid shrine hall, there is a large ginkgo that seems to be a sacred tree. I visit every year at the Tokyo Marathon.　Young people seem to be visiting as a power spot to get energy.

Since this land was a key point of canal from the Nihonbashi River to the Kaede River, it seems that it has been worshiped as a god of performing arts because it was a god of shipping and a place where the Fujima Ryu sect lived. (The Fujima-ryu was started by Kanbei Fujima. Kanbei is a Noh Kyogen master, and it is said that he went to Edo during the Hoei era to become a dance master in Nihonbashi, and was collected as a Kabuki choreographer. )

The ginkgo in the precincts on the back, which enters from the left side, has been damaged by a fire, but feels strong vitality. In addition, the guardian dog, the angel of God, looked like a tiger or a leopard.

The shrine office of Ohara Inari Shrine seems to be on the seventh floor of the next building, but the door was closed on Saturday.

If you want to know more details, why don't you visit the office and ask?

　Well, I'm thirsty and I'm hungry.　There are a lot of affordable and conscientious shops in the vicinity.　The information will be posted separately.　Let's go well!　20170805
