The Cheongju Bridge, along with Eitai Bridge, is planned as a reconstruction project following the Great Kanto Earthquake.

It was completed in 1928.

With the Tokyo Sky Tree

It seems that the design is modeled on a suspension bridge in Cologne, Germany.

Take a walk from Nihonbashi and move toward Shinkawa. I was hungry on the way, so I had lunch at the Western restaurant "Tarbou".　

This shop is a wonderful shop where the honest husband's personality comes out as it is.　

When you hear hamburger Napolitan, you don't choose middle-aged or older people, but for some reason this is a mysterious dish that you can eat Sarah. It also comes with miso soup with a light flavor with vegetable soup stock.

It is also attractive that the price of Saturday lunch is the same as that of weekdays.

Try it.

Walked from Nihonbashi district to Shinkawa district. Stopped over at cozy restaurant "Ta-bou".

The food is just fine! Cooked by the owner chef neatly and faithfully, like his personality.

My favorite "Hamburg Steak with Napolitan Pasta" sounds very strong taste dish and not so many seniors will not order usually. But when it comes to this restaurant, amazingly, even seniors can enjoy such dish served with vegetable based miso soup.

Also, the place serves lunch on Saturdays with the same price as weekdays. Isn't this wonderful?　

5-8 Shinkawa 2-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

I met a book that clearly shows the history of "River and Digging" in Chuo-ku

It is an Edo-Tokyo Historical Walk that follows the "River and Digging" 20 Remains "of PHP Shinsho"

The author is Tetsushi Okamoto, a book published in November last year.

Ginkgo Hachimangu Shrine, Ginkgo Inari Shrine (1-7-7 Kakigaracho, Nihonbashi, formerly surrounded by Doibori and Tokanbori) (page 71)

There is "Edo Tokyo History Walk", but when it comes to "tracing the river and digging", the content is almost in Chuo-ku.

Venus Inari Shrine (4-9 Nihonbashi Koamicho, the former Inaribori and the approach to the approach) (page 73)

Because it was almost in Chuo-ku, it was very interesting and interesting, and I read it out quickly in a row of scales from my eyes.

Kibikicho Nakadori (near the former Sanjuma Horikawa) (page 80)

Ginza, Tsukiji, Nihonbashi, Hatchobori, Ningyocho ... Even after the Meiji era, even after the end of Pacific War, Chuo-ku was "the Oriental Venice" where rivers and digging were surrounded vertically and horizontally.

Shintomi Inari Shrine (2-9-4 Shintomi, near the former Irifune River) (page 96)

In addition to rivers and digging, the history of the town, the origin of the street, the auspiciousness of shrines and temples, etc. are told along with abundant old maps and old photographs.

It is easy to understand the contrast between old photos and current photos taken from the same angle.

Municipal Akatsuki Park (7-19-1 Tsukiji, where there was once a triangular Akashibori) (page 113)

There is also a detailed "town walk guide" from the nearest stations and exits of Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway, which can be used as a walk.

Tepposu-dori (where the gunpowder was once flowing) (page 113)

I think that it may be enough to be a supplementary reader for the next Chuo-ku sightseeing test (only a personal opinion)

I recommend reading it.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Up to now, we have featured Hatchobori's recommended shops such as Cawaii Bread & Coffee and ROAR COFFEE HOUSE & ROASTERY in two articles.
Hatchobori is conveniently located near Tokyo Station, but did you know that there are seven wonders in such a place?

The origin of this Seven Wonders dates back to the Edo period, when there was a powerful and concentric mansion, and is one of the things that vividly convey their humanity and life.
This time, I would like to introduce the Seven Wonders along with modern stories.

■There is no grave because there is a temple
In the early Edo period, it was called "Hatchobori Temple Town" outside the samurai area of Hatchobori.

There were many temples, but it was located in Okazaki-cho, Nishi Hatchobori at the time following the great fire of the Meiryaku era.

The only temple left Gyoenji, and other temples moved away from the center of Edo.
Gyoenji mainly did missionary work at the end of Honganji, and did not have a tomb.
He seems to have come to be said like this.



It was a story hundreds of years ago, so I thought that the only temple had disappeared now, but Tamaenji (Jodo Shinshu) still exists.
Since it was relocated after the Meiji Restoration, it was not in its original place, but I was impressed by the fact that it remained in the present day.



■There is no wife and no lord
A thin-paid power and concentric lived by renting a part of the land he was given.
The concentric lends to merchants such as liquor stores and rice shops, while the power lends to Confucian scholars, painters, and doctors.
Although it was a samurai area, it was treated as a town area.
Because they were trusted and intimacy, they were
People in the town called "husband" instead of "dono" which is the word of "wife".
This is also depicted on the panel under construction currently seen at Kuyasu Bridge.



■The neck is connected with gold
Power and concentric were often driven by the people of the town.
It was said that the neck was connected by bribery

■The entrance of rice
At the time of the arrest of Tadaya Maruhashi, the rice was inconcentrated with him and seriously injured.
The magistrate, who knew it, said that he would give him hope because he would give him a reward.
He couldn't honestly say his desire to be empowered, and said he wanted to set up the entrance.
For he was only allowed to set up an entrance, not to be empowered later.
It is based on an episode that I was ashamed and set up the entrance on the back instead of the front.

■ladies' bath's sword
The people of Hatchobori who are always taking care of their strength and concentric.
For those who like morning baths as well as Edokko, the women's baths with no guests were opened in the morning.
I thought I would take a leisurely bath before commuting to work.
They came with their swords, so they had a sword hook in ladies' bath only in the morning.



For me, I didn't think there was a public bath in central Tokyo today.
I still remember the shock of finding Irifune hot water by accident.
When I looked into it, there are currently nine public baths in Chuo Ward.
Founded in 1863, Kinharuyu is one of the three public baths that have continued since the Edo period.



And at "community contact public bath" held twice a month (2nd and 4th Friday)
Residents and workers in the city can take a bath for 100 yen, usually for 460 yen for adults.
(However, it is free for those who bring a certificate of respect for the elderly and elementary school students and younger.)
Depending on the season, you can also enjoy shobuyu and yuzuyu.
On the day of the public bath on October 10, there are also public baths where lavender baths appear.
Why don't you relax in a bath with a sense of openness sometimes?
Specifically, please see central bath association official site (http://www.268chuou.com/).

■There is no guardian of children and travelers because there is Jizo Bridge
It can be interpreted that Jizo was moved somewhere from the side of the bridge, and only the bridge remained.
The park named Jizobashi remains now...
Maybe the day when you can find Jizo at that time!

■There is a ghost in the demon's house
There is a high wooden fence in the powerful mansion between Kayabacho 1-2 chome.
After a little further, it seemed to be a terrible dark road.
According to the Kaei era diary abstract, it is called a ghost Yokocho, and a ghost with a white neck appeared every night and pulled the sleeves of passers-by.
So, was the place around the powerhouse really a spiritual spot?
It is said that the true identity of the ghosts concerned was women working in the night world at that time.

Well, I have introduced you to the Seven Wonders so far.
As a matter of fact, there are more than seven of them.
It is reported that there were other "households without a sentence" and "Japanese lantern Kake Yokocho".

From such a story at that time, a glimpse of Chuo-ku, where power and concentric lived.
You can learn about the remnants of Edo that live in modern times.
When walking around Hatchobori, it's fun to look for such remnants.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Do you have any favorite cafes or favorite cafes?
　
Many coffee shops and coffee shops nationwide are competing with each other.
A coffee stand that has been talked about for several years, saying, "It's Instagrammable."
When I was in Hatchobori, I was in my office....
I don't know that kind of information, but I was worried and stopped by on my way home from work.
ROAR COFFEE HOUSE & ROASTERY (Lower Coffee House & Lottery)



As you can see, it's a small store, but it's a small store.
It has a stylish atmosphere reminiscent of an overseas coffee stand.
I forget to stay in Chuo-ku for a moment.
　
However, once you go backward, you can feel the gaze from somewhere....
I was worried and looked around the area.
There were stuffed tigers and lions near the ceiling and on the shelves!



The reason why there are stuffed animals that can't be imagined from the appearance is that there are stuffed animals.
The name of the store means that fierce animal, such as a Lion, barking "Ghao"
That's because it's ROAR.
In addition, fierce animal was designed inside the store where you could hear barking.
There are chic and cool takeout cups lined up.



While being distracted by small items that want to take pictures unintentionally, go to the counter for ordering.
ROAR is popular among overseas people, but it is also supported by people working and living nearby.
The response of a homey clerk who can be relieved somewhere is impressive.



What I ordered was a cafe latte with the rainbow latte art you wanted.
Pink Tiger, an adult croissant dessert using Kilsh sake



I was surprised to hear it. How free this elaborate latte art is!
In other words, if you pay the coffee fee, you will receive a latte art service to the applicant.
I have no choice but to ask for this.



If you want to make the background white latte art like me,
・Espresso
(Fruity sweetness and flower-like scent / flavor of red wine and berry)
・ROAR Wolf Blend
(Smooth body and three-dimensional mouthfeel / flavor of nuts and chocolate)
Select one of them.



These espresso (double shots) can be obtained separately.
You can also enjoy changes in taste, etc. by adding only the amount you like at your preferred timing.
Therefore, not only those who want to take Instagram photos, but also those who want to take Instagrammable photos.
Those who like pure coffee should be satisfied.

The pink tiger has a cute pink heart on the surface.
It was a soft croissant sweet that was unlikely to be before, and it seemed just good as a snack.



In addition to latte art, this shop also includes Extreme Milk Shakes.
We have a lot of menus that look great on Instagram.
During the Edo period, the power and concentric under the town magistrate who lived in Hatchobori were also surprised at their shyness.
You will groan involuntarily by its deliciousness



From the idea of creating a shop where you can enjoy delicious coffee at reasonable prices.
This shop where you can enjoy coffee that is roasted in-house at a reasonable price.
It is open only on weekdays, but it is recommended because you can enjoy it at any time.

　At the Tokyo Sky Tree, from May 7th to 13th, ahead of the 10th anniversary collaboration project "Soracro Festival Momokuro in Tokyo Sky Tree" (July 17-September 2) of the 10th anniversary of the formation of the girls unit "Momoiro Clover Z Special Lighting" is on. 18:30～24:00

The special lighting consists of four image colors for each member. From the top, the core pillars are expressed in the order of red (Kanako Momota), purple (Reni Takajo), yellow (Shiori Tamai), and pink (Ayaka Sasaki), and the shooting stars of each member color appear on the steel frame.

Until now, we have seen light-up cases tied up with a movie, but I heard that this is the first time that I imagined an idol.

The Tokyo Sky Tree, dyed in unusual four colors, shines over the Eitai Bridge.
