If you go to the ground from Exit A2 of Hatchobori Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line or JR Keiyo Line, you will find Sakuragawa Park.

Passing through this park with Shin-ohashi-dori St., you will find the Chuo Ward Women's Center "Bouquet 21". There is a staircase on the right side of the entrance, and it is written as Sakuragawa Rooftop Park. Sakuragawa Park often passes, but I've never been to the rooftop park, so I explored it.

I was surprised to climb the stairs out of breath, saying it was tight!　

The surrounding building looks like Fukayama, and even the sound of the building's scream and the dokan sound of the building, and where is the maple that began to change color with the babbling flowing through the garden? It's a great feeling!　

Various types of trees have name tags, and persimmons and pomegranates are also fruitful. There are many benches in the shade of trees, and lunchtime will be a great place for nearby office workers to relax. Like Chuo-ku, where the number of births is increasing year by year, there are playground equipment for children, and when the weather is nice, it will be crowded with little children.

As you pass under the trees, you will open the space and gateball field. There was a path along the side, so when I traced it, the Kamejima River jumped into my eyes. On the right, you can see the railway bridge of Minami Takahashi (reused part of the former Ryogoku Bridge of the bridge in 1904), and it is strangely impressive. Takahashi on the left and the moored boat reminds me that the city of Edo was a city of water transport. This path is a slope that can be reached on Gunshu Street.

Below the garden is the Sakurabashi No. 2 Pumping Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Sewerage Bureau, which plays a role in protecting the city from flooding.

It was an autumn afternoon when I found an unexpected relaxing space.

At Hatchobori 2-chome, the back of the shop is Uoyu, a seafood izakaya facing the Kamejima River.

Located at the base of Kameshima Bridge (this is the side facing the river)

It is an izakaya with a wonderful lineup of liquor that claims to be a "fish and locally brewed sake" shop, but the lunch menu is also substantial and we use it.

In today's daily menu, I ordered the recommended "Sanma salt grilled and sashimi set meal"

Sashimi is hachibiki (red mackerel) and kurodai, fresh and delicious.

In particular, Hachibiki was tasty with moderate fat.

Thanks to the news of bountiful catch this year, Sanma salt grilled is a seasonal taste that you want to taste many times during this season.

After the meal, I think you can take a walk around Hatchobori and Shinkawa while watching "Ginza's Yanagi Shisei" and "Matsuo Basho's stone monument" at the base of Kameshima Bridge.

　Today, I have seen 10 ukiyo-e paintings on display at the Senbikiya Sohonten on the second floor of Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower. There is a description below the picture.

It is said that Van Gogh of Hiroshige Utagawa's Van Gogh also imitated "Ohashi Atake no Yudate (Hundred Views of Edo), "Kandakonnyacho (same)" in Katsushika Hokusai, "Edo Nihonbashi (Thirty-six Views of Fujitake)", "Koshu Ishikasazawa (same)", and "Totamaro Kitagawa's Doro Kitagawa's Doro Kitagawa's Doro Beemonyo.

　And it's "Ono Komachi" by Kiyocho Torii.　In his heart, he shouted "Yamatoya!" in his heart, depicting the aesthetic sense from the Edo period and the behavior of a smart actor.

The organizers of this event are NPO Tokyo Net, sponsored by Tokyo, Chuo-ku, Chiyoda-ku, Minato-ku, and Sumida-ku.　It is a grand event supported by many companies and supported by their cooperation. It's around this time when there is a cool sign of autumn. We recommend "EDO ART EXPO Tour" for both health and gastronomy.

It's Suga, a real handmade soba dining near Hatchobori Station, facing Hatchobori 3-chome, Kajibashi Street.

congridae is swimming in the aquarium at the entrance.

At night, Japanese sake and shochu are the best for appetizers, Anako and handmade soba, but you can enjoy a casual soba lunch at lunchtime.

There are variations of "Morning Anako Lunch Menu", 1 Mini Anako Tendon and Mini Soba, 2 Mini Anako Tendon and Soba, 3 Anako Tendon and Mini Soba, 4 Anako Tendon and Soba, and 5 Anako Tenmori There is.

I ordered 2 "Mini Anako Tendon and Soba" today.

Soba is Nihachi soba, a homemade flour of stone mill.

The crispy fluffy large Anakoten (in the photo, the upper half of Anakoten was cut), the hard soba, the scent of soba, and the very satisfying.

Happiness to eat both Anako and soba together

Here you can get a drink when you leave the shop after completing the accounting.

I've got a canned coffee

I'll come again.

　This year, September 24 is August 15 in old calendar, and the mid-autumn moon (15 nights).

During this period, the moon rises in the clear night sky at an angle suitable to look up, making it the best season for moon viewing.

This day was cloudy all over the country.

Although it was a worrisome sky, the clouds were cut off in the city center and I was able to enjoy the moon viewing.

From the Sumida River Terrace of Shinkawa Park (Shinkawa 2) along the Sumida River, a fantastic circle "moon" is appearing in the night view corner of the Okawabata River City Condominiums.

By the way, since the phases of the moon are not perfect one month, the mid-autumn moon (15 nights) is not necessarily the full moon, and this year, September 25 is the full moon.

The 11th "EDO ART EXPO" will be held from September 21 (Fri) to October 9 (Tue), 2018. This is mainly led by the NPO Tokyo Chuo Net, which resembles existing buildings such as famous stores, companies, hotels, cultural and tourist facilities in Tokyo Chuo, Chiyoda, Minato, Sumida-ku as a pavilion, with the main theme of "Edo aesthetic sense". This is a business that introduces the traditions, culture, and history that have continued from Edo.
The 7th "Edo Japanese calligraphy Exhibition by Tokyo Children and Students" will be held as one of the events.
