Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This time, we will take up the landfill of rivers in the final round of [Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Measures] River and Bridges.
(Click here for previous articles → (1), (2), (3))

Due to many rivers and diggings, the current Chuo-ku has been called the "city of water" since the Edo period.
However, over the years, rivers have been reclaimed, and their remnants can be known from the information boards and the remaining main pillars.
When and what was landfilled, and how the town changed?...
If you remember such things like 5W1H, you can connect events with each other in a causal relationship.
The history of the development of Chuo-ku will be easier to come to mind.


(↑ Page 1 of the countermeasure note at the time of last year's test inspection)

The events that triggered river reclamation can be broadly divided into the following four categories.
Earthquake reconstruction, war reconstruction, Tokyo Olympics, etc.

■Earthquake reconstruction
The Irifune River, the Tepposu River, and the Nishibori Ru River (Isecho Hori) were reclaimed at this early stage.

■Reconstruction of war
At that time, there were no vehicles or fuels carrying surplus soil or debris.
Therefore, rivers that are not very necessary as waterways are reclaimed with residual soil and debris to create land and create land.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's debris disposal measures were implemented to sell it and generate operating costs.
That was the landfill, and the northern half of the outer moat River and the Sanjuken River disappeared at this time.

■Tokyo Olympics (1964, 18th)
In preparation for the Olympics, highways, subways, and arterial roads were urgently developed.
Therefore, the Tsukiji River and Kaede River were reclaimed, and the capital height centered on Route 1 (4.5 km between Kyobashi and Shibaura) was constructed, and the Tsukuda River was reclaimed by the bridge of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge (1964). Was.
However, because it was reclaimed too quickly, it was impossible to drain rainwater.
Therefore, pumping stations of the Tokyo Metropolitan Sewerage Bureau were set up in Hamacho, Nakasu, and Hakozaki-cho.

<Aside>
The torch relay course is 1.5km between Kiyosu Bridge and Kayaba Bridge.
It was 2.0 km between Kayababashi and Kajibashi.

You don't have to remember in particular about river reclamation, but you don't have to worry about it.
If you know it, you will surely enjoy walking around the town.

※In this article, we will introduce some of the reasons for this.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Although it has been a little vacant, it is a continuation of [Chuo-ku sightseeing certification measures] river and bridge.
(Click here for articles on rivers and bridges so far → (1) and (2))
This time, it is said that the junction of the three rivers, the bridge before and after that, and the four bridges are featured.

First of all, about the confluence of the three rivers and the bridge before and after that.
Suddenly, it's a problem!
・What is the first bridge to be built after the Nihonbashi River joins the Sumida River?
・Where is the Nihonbashi River divided into the Kamejima River near (place name)?
・What is the first bridge to be built after the Kamejima River joins the Sumida River?

I don't dare to answer this time, but those who can't answer the above problem suddenly.
Why don't you check before the test?

Next, it is said that the characteristics of the bridge 4 can be effectively remembered by actually seeing, writing (drawing)!

This is a rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself" in light of Siigne.

　

Mr. Imano Fruit Factory, this is the first time in a year and a half to write an article.

In the first place, this shop was visited by Mr. Si, the leader of the Rosmari Food Lipo Corps.

As we introduced before, fruit sandwiches, cakes, and juices are also popular and abundant here.

This time, I would like to introduce a number of seasonal fruits of this season carefully selected by Imano Fruit Factory.

This time, Mr. Konno also took care of me.

Then...

Fukumitsu persimmon (Fukumitsugaki) Anpo persimmon 6 boxes from Toyama Prefecture 3,850 yen per box 3,850 yen

　　750 yen per piece　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

It is a dried persimmon of Toyama, so-called anpan persimmon, a luxury brand.

It's full of luxury.

It is made from Sansha persimmon, a specialty of Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, and is dried in the sun in the cold wind of Toyama to remove astringency. The flesh is very soft and easy to eat.

　

Koshu dew persimmon 4,320 yen per box 15 from Matsuri Yamanashi

It's a so-called dried persimmon.

It is high in calories, but is rich in dietary fiber, beta-carotene and potassium.

It is characterized by soft flesh and elegant sweetness.

The Matsuri district of Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture is the most famous production area for dried persimmons.

So this is the finest brand of dried persimmons.

I wonder if it's perfect for a gift.

　

Special selection Fuyu persimmon 750 yen per piece from Yamanashi Ishiwa

Strong sweetness that melts.

The soft flesh is thick.

　

1 pack (3-4 pieces) of Nara sweet persimmon Fuyu persimmon 650 yen

In fact, Nara Prefecture is the prefecture with the highest production volume of Fuyu persimmon.

"Fuyu" is said to have taken the two letters of "Fuyu Shikainouchi", a passage from the book "Reki" from Shu to Han.

　

8,640 yen per specialty mask melon Shizuoka product

It's exactly the king of fruit. It would be nice if you could get it.

　

1,350 yen per pack of Strawberry Shinano Berry in Shinshu

2,650 yen for 2 packs

Strawberry with a strong assertion of refreshing acidity and flesh.

It is a variety that comes out in the early season as a strawberry.

It is a kind that is not well known, but Strawberry Street (some of you may have such people) seems to be a dish that you have remembered for a long time.

　

La France Yamagata, Nankaren 5L size 750 yen per piece

I think this size is good to eat. Of course, it's sweet and melting.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Did you eat something special on the day of Christmas?
I went to a long-awaited lunch at Caprice, a hidden home-style Western restaurant that I was worried about for more than a year.

The surrounding area is the area of Hatchobori, where residential areas are relatively noticeable.
The door of the shop is fitted with something like a Victoria morning stained glass.
Located in the back alley of a British city, it features a cute appearance like a tea room that is familiar to local residents.



The recommendation of this shop is a daily one-plate lunch!
One plate is a cafe-like sound, isn't it?
On the day of use, in addition to the composition of young chicken peach meat and herbs of Sagochi (changed to Shimaji), a menu of salad, butter rice, and soup.
When you enter the store with excitement about what it looks and tastes....



It was a very small and cozy space where the word cosy was perfect.
I couldn't imagine it from the exterior, but it was also highly evaluated that fashionable Western music was flowing.



Soup is self-service and free to replace.
I went to get soup and enjoyed the atmosphere of the shop.
The fragrant butter rice and the one plate you want have been carried.

It was overturned my expectations in a good sense, "somehow more authentic than cafes."
The amount of salad and good freshness were high!
While there are many shops where salads and appetizers come out first, if you want to have vegetables from time to time while eating the main, reconfirm that there may be such a one plate.



Will this confi and herb-grilled finish in Cali be conveyed in the photo?
It's just right, and the salt content of the sauce is exquisite.
And the most impressive thing was the config!
At first glance it looks like a simple cooking, and it's actually time-consuming.
The meat is soft, with a moderate mix of greyby and oil.
It was delicious with a nostalgic taste like home cooking I ate at homestay.



The soup is a taste that goes well with both Western and Japanese dishes.
It contained fried oil, bacon (chunk), asparagus (autumm potem), and tofu.
I want to make it by imitating it.

At night, it will be open on a separate menu, so if you are not working nearby, it may be better to use it at night.



The atmosphere and taste are good, and the shop is very kind and perfect.
Please note that the payment is only cash.
I am not the only person who really wants to use it like a "hideaway"
When you come around Hatchobori, why not stop by?

■Caprice (caprice)
Address: 2-10-3, Hacchobori, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
Business hours Lunch (Mon-Sat) 11:45-14:00
　　　　　Dinner (Mon-Fri) 18:00-22:30
Regular holidays: Day/holiday

※We have received permission to introduce it to the store.

 

 

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The date of the Chuo-ku Tourism Examination Examination is approaching, but is your study progressing smoothly?
This time, I will introduce you to visiting historical sites in Chuo-ku, which also serves as a measure against Haiku and Kawayanagi.

■Mrs. Takeko Kujo, poetry monument
She was born in Kyoto as the second daughter of the gatekeeper of Nishi Honganji Temple and married Baron Yoshiyuki Kujo at the age of 21.
My husband has been living separately for nearly 10 years due to studying and working in the UK.
During that time, I studied Waka (Nobutsuna Sasaki), Painting (Shoen Uemura), and Ikebana (Nishikawa Ikusatei) and refined my talents.



The songbooks she left include "Kinsuzu" and "Kaosen" and the essay "Muyuka".
I would like to keep in mind the "Overy Things I'm going to be drawn from the great things" engraved on poetry monument in Tsukiji Honganji Temple.



■Kawayanagi, Mizutani Ryotei stone monument
His phrase, worried about the customs of Tsukuda Island and talked about Setsuyoshi Tadataka at home, can be seen on the grounds of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.
"I'm a gentle and hard man,"

■Bronze bell at the time of Kokumachi
This bell was installed in Honishi-cho during the time of the second shogun Hidetada Tokugawa, informing the people of Edo Castle of the time.
Because there was Nagasakiya (Dutch trading post's post office) nearby, Kawayanagi was written....
"I can hear the bell of Kokumachi to the Netherlands."

■poetry monument Takuboku Ishikawa
He joined the Asahi Shimbun in Takiyamamachi, Kyobashi-ku (currently Ginza 6-chome).
For about three years until he died at the age of 26 due to pulmonary tuberculosis, etc., he worked as a proofreader while working as a proofreader.
"Iss of the time when I became a newspaper light in Takiyamamachi in Kyobashi"



In addition, his first songbook, "A handful of Sand," begins with "Crying up by the white sand of the shores of Kojima in Tokai and hitting crabs."

■Echigo-ya
Enomoto (Takarai), one of the Juetsu Shomon and a representative of a group called Edoza (which features a flashy phrase that reflects the Edo kid's temperament), wrote such a phrase about Echigoya. .
"Echigo-ya's sound and clothespin,"
The scene seems to suddenly come to my eyes.



It's a great deal, so let's remember the other phrases at the corner together.
(We will not explain in detail here, but we recommend that you also check the background where each phrase is written!)

"The path of the crane is as expected in the spring of the sun."
"There is no day when one bell can't be sold, spring in Edo"
"I wonder if this number of boats will be cool."

■Site of Kaikaikan
Kaikaikan, which opened in 1905, is a two-story wooden ryokan in Kappo cuisine, which was relocated from Sendai City.
At that time, this area was a scenic and quiet place with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay, so famous cultural figures stayed there.
The following is a summary of the Kaikaikan:
"Let's see the winter sea and make the New Tsukuda Sea Water Museum wabi live."
(From Isamu Yoshii's songbook "Poison Utsugi")

■19 tombs
On the left side of his tomb (Shinenzan Toyo-in), the creator of Tokaido Naka-Kurige, is located.
The phrase of a famous dictionary is engraved.
"Goodbye to ashes with the smoke of incense stick in your spare time."



■The end of Shoin Yoshida
Despite being an excellent man who raised many of the late Tokugawa shogunate soldiers, his resignation phrase, executed in the Kodemmacho prison, is set up in Kodemmacho.
"The body is kept in the Nobe of Musashi even if it does not decay,"

■Sushi
Such a phrase was written because the hand of the craftsman holding the sushi resembles a spell of ninjutsu.
"Vinegar rice held by the body of magic" (Kawayanagi haiku collection "Shufu Yanagi Taru")

I've picked up Haiku and Kawayanagi so far.
All of them are impressive things that are memorable.
If you have a phrase you don't know, why not check it before the test?

※In this article, we will introduce some of the reasons for this.
　If you learn the contents written here, you will not be able to pass it.

"Heisei last ...", which I often hear at this time, is also a large-scale construction of the last bridge in Heisei. The construction of the Toyomi Bridge, which spans the Nihonbashi River between Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge. The repair and renovation of these three bridges at the same time is a sight that can only be seen now.

　

　

　

Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge are contrasting in the structure of the bridge, and their characteristics can be seen even if they are surrounded by temporary scaffolds.

　

　

Eitai Bridge against the backdrop of the Tokyo Sky Tree from Sumida River Ohashi taken several times at the same angle.

The photo shows from Chuo-ohashi Bridge, but from Sumida River Ohashi, you can see both Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge.

The Sky Tree is the world's tallest radio tower, but it incorporates traditional Japanese techniques and crafts.

　

The architectural structure is an oscillation structure like five-storied pagoda, with a core pillar at the center of the building, and the surrounding area is joined by a triangular truss structure. It is said that this triangle does not need to be so fine in terms of strength, but it seems that the design is conscious of Edo Kiriko.

In addition, the exterior is not asymmetric centered on the pillar, but asymmetric with the motif of a Japanese sword.

　

　

By the way, the construction of Toyomi Bridge repairs, reinforces and raises the bridge. It is scheduled from the beginning of this year to the end of May next year, so it is a large scale that spans the next era from Heisei.
