The season of Jabujabu Pond begins!

[Edamame] July 13, 2018 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

I feel like I wrote such an article last year at this time ...

/archive/2017/07/post-4470.html

This year, from July 6 (Fri), "Jabjabu Pond" in various parts of Chuo-ku has started!
 

It may be persistent, but I will explain it again.

"Jabjabu Pond" is a place to play in the water for preschoolers.

For more information, please visit the ward's website.

http://www.city.chuo.lg.jp/sisetugaido/koento/zyabuzyabuike.html

Children who do not have diapers (including their 3-year-olds and daughter Azuki)

Other than "Hot Plaza Harumi", you can put it by wearing "diaper for playing in the water".

There is no usage fee, and it is a very important place as a playground on hot summer days.
 

Unfortunately, I didn't go on Friday, the first day, because it was unfortunate weather.

On Monday of the beginning of the week, I took my azuki!
 

Swimsuit (what I wore last year) and diapers for playing in the water (the rest of last year)

Towels and toys (be sure to write your name)

Put your usual diapers, hats and water bottles on your way home in your bag.

Daughter Azuki is a dress that can be worn smoothly to make it easy to change clothes.

Mother Edamame is a skirt up to the knee length.

(Parents can't become swimwear by rules, but they need to go into the water together.

 The water depth is about the knee, so do you roll it up so that it doesn't get wet?

 In the first place, you will wear something that doesn't get wet.

I'm here! It's Jabujabu Pond at Hisamatsu Children's Park!

There are few people, probably because it was a strange weather called "Sunny hour rain".

Still it's hot...

Mothers' frank impression was "It feels good just to get your feet on the water!"

 
Personally ... If I thought that the swimsuit I wore last year would be okay.

It's getting smaller than I thought.

Do I have to buy a new one? I think again,

2 years ago, if you sit down on the jabujabu pond

It was small enough to drown completely

Now it's a size that doesn't worry at all ...

I felt shy and growth.
 

How long can you play this year?

I would like to enjoy both my mother and child.

Park with lots of shades of trees [Sakuragawa Park]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 6, 2018 12:00

sakuko201801.JPG

It is Sakuragawa Park facing Shin-ohashi-dori St. on Irifune 1-chome.

The map below is on the red frame.

sakuko201800.jpg

It is located just off Hatchobori Station, where the JR Keiyo Line and the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line intersect.

sakuko201802.JPG

This was the place where Hatchobori was located in the Edo period, and was called Sakuragawa in the Meiji era, and was reclaimed in the 1940s and became the current park.

sakuko201803.JPG

Cherry trees (Yoshino cherry tree) are planted and shaded, making it an urban oasis in the office district.

Many office workers and passers-by are resting in the shade of the park, especially during the hot lunch break.

sakuko201804.JPG

Next to the park, the "Iriichi Kannon Bodhisattva" is enshrined.

sakuko201806.JPG

On the same site, there is also a prayer stone that is said to be effective for toothache.

In the park, there is also an explanation board for "Hatchobori (Sakuragawa) Ruins".

Walk along the ruins of Kaedegawa (2)

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 4, 2018 14:00

This is a continuation of "Walking the Ruins of Kaedegawa (1)"

kaede201800.jpg

The Kaede River existed in Chuo-ku until the 1930s, diverted from the vicinity of Kabuto-cho on the Nihonbashi River to the south and reached the confluence of the Kyobashi River and Hatchobori (Sakuragawa). The Toshin Beltway, the Metropolitan Expressway, passes through the trace.

It is the yellow part of the map above.

kaede201814.JPG

) It's Kuyasu Bridge.

This bridge is a bridge where Yaesu Street crosses the Metropolitan Expressway (formerly Kaedegawa).

The current bridge was rebuilt along with the construction of Yaesu Street by the reconstruction project of the Great Kanto Earthquake, and is a heavy arch bridge.

kaede201815.JPG

Kuyasu Bridge was built in front of the Kamiyashiki of Matsudaira-Etsunaka Mamoru in the Edo period and was called "Ecchu Bridge", but in 1868 the name "Ecchu", a remnant of Edo shogunate, was named "Kuyasu Bridge".

kaede201816.JPG

It's Takarabashi (H).

Takarabashi is a one-way narrow street connecting Kyobashi and Hatchobori, which crosses the Metropolitan Expressway (formerly Kaedegawa).

The photo below shows the expressway south of Hohashigami.

kaede201817.JPG

It seems that the name of Takarabashi comes from the town name "Takaramachi, Kyobashi-ku" on the Kaede Kawanishi side at that time.

kaede201818.JPG

) At Tenso Shrine, a light blue torii gate, main hall is located right next to Takarabashi, along the narrow approach beside the building.

kaede201819.JPG

Although it is a small shrine, it has a history, and it begins in 1624 in the early Edo period when Ise Secretary-General Norimasa Ichinomasa served Izamiya, a separate shrine of Kotaijingu Shrine at Ise-jingu Shrine, at Edo Nihonbashi-dori 3-chome. It seems to be

kaede201820.JPG

In 1633, it was said that Hatchobori Matsuyamachi was relocated by the order of the Shogunate with a replacement area of 300 tsubo and a gate area.

kaede201821.JPG

It's Matsuhatabashi (J).

It seems that it was named after taking one character of each town name from Matsuyamachi on the east side and Inabacho on the west side.

It was also called Matsuya Bridge in the Edo period.

kaede201822.JPG

The bridge that spans the southernmost tip of Kaede River is Dansho Bridge (K) and Kaji Bridge Street.

Again, the current bridge was rebuilt by the Imperial Capital Reconstruction Project after the Great Kanto Earthquake.

In the early Edo period, there was a mansion of Tadatoshi Shimada Danjo on the east side, and it was called "Mitsuhashi" along with the Shiraoi Bridge on the Kyobashi River and the Shinpukuji Temple Bridge on the Sanjuma Horikawa.

In 1878, Japan's first () purely domestic iron bridge was built.

This iron bridge was relocated to Koto-ku in 1929 and was renamed Hachiman Bridge.

The photo below shows the highway on the south side from Dansho Bridge.

kaede201823.JPG

This time, when I walked along the Kaede River, it was a little short distance, but I was able to feel the weight of the history accumulated by "river and digging".

Walk along the ruins of Kaedegawa (1)

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 2, 2018 09:00

The other day (May 27), I read the "Edo Tokyo History Walk Following the "River and Digging" 20 Remains "" (written by Tetsushi Okamoto, PHP Shinsho) I was interested in Kaedegawa that once existed I walked along the former Kaedegawa river.

kaede201801.JPG

The Kaede River diverted from the vicinity of Kabuto-cho on the Nihonbashi River (currently near the Edobashi Junction) to the south, and was about 1.2 km from the confluence of the Kyobashi River and Hatchobori (Sakuragawa) (currently near the Kyobashi Junction). The Toshin Expressway was reclaimed from 1960 (Showa 35) to 1965 (Showa Expressway.

The yellow part in the map below is where Kaedegawa used to flow.

kaede201800.jpg

The starting point (A) was where Kabutobashi used to be.

The photo below shows a view of the place where Kabutobashi would have been built in front of Kabuto Shrine.

kaede201804.JPG

It's Kabuto Shrine.

kaede201802.JPG

In the precincts, there is Kabutoiwa, which is said to have been reported to have stopped by Yoshiie Minamotono and prayed for victory in the role of the previous nine years.

This was the origin of the name of Kabuto-cho.

kaede201803.JPG

) This is where the shipping bridge was built.

kaede201805.JPG

It was said that it was called Takahashi in the early Edo period, and later the Pirate Bridge and Shogen Bridge.

In the first year of the Meiji era (1868), it was renamed the Shipping Bridge over "Good luck".

Currently, only two main pillars are left.

kaede201807.JPG

Chiyodabashi (C) is a bridge built by Eitai-dori St. across the Kaede River.

kaede201808.JPG

Ohara Inari Shrine (D) is enshrined on the south side of Chiyodabashi, just a short walk away, with a highway behind it.

kaede201809.JPG

It's Shinba Bridge (E).

kaede201810.JPG

It is said that Nakanohashi and Kaedebashi were also nicknamed. In 1674, a new appetizer field (Shinkasaba shore) was set up on the west side as the second fish shore following the Nihonbashi fish shore, and it was abbreviated as Shinba It seems that it was

kaede201811.JPG

If you look at the expressway north of Hashigami of Shinbabashi, you can clearly see that the road is coming down from the elevated to the bottom of the Kaede River.

kaede201812.JPG

Torii Inari Shrine (F) is located just next to Shinbabashi, just a little from Sakura-dori St.

kaede201813.JPG

It stands in a quiet place, and the word "No. 1" is impressive.
