I would like to introduce a walk course that goes a little far from Harumi Kachidoki.

　

　From Kachidoki Station, go south on Harumi-dori St. From Harumi Triton Square, cross the Harumi Sanchome intersection and turn left. (This street that turns left is also Harumi-dori St..)

　　

If you proceed as it is, go to "Art Harumi" and turn right at the intersection. When you cross the Harumi Bridge, a large red and black bridge is on your right. This bridge is a bridge with a track that was used at the shipyard of the former Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries. If you look through the balustrade, the Rainbow Bridge is far ahead of the canal.

　　　

This is Harumibashi Park. When you walk while looking at the flower bed, the surface of the canal is on your right. The crane's monument is red and beautiful. This is the Urban Gate Bridge. It opens like the old Kachidokibashi when the ship enters and exits. It's full of runners and dog walkers early in the morning. I'm surprised that this is the city center.

　　　

There are many things to see. Next month.

Kachidoki Station → Harumi Triton Square → 3, Harumi Intersection → Art Harumi → Harumi Bridge → The Urban Gate Bridge continues.

　　　

Kachidoki Station → Harumi Triton Square → 3, Harumi Intersection → Harumi Ohashi → Shin-Toyosu Station → Turn left → Housing Exhibition Hall → Gas Science Museum

 

 

　Nihonbashinakasu, like Nihonbashi Honmachi or Nihonbashi Ningyocho, does not have a "town" at the end, but it is a town name in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. There is no "Chome" in Nakashu. This is the only independent town name in the Nihonbashi area.

　

　

It seems that this Nakasu area and the other side of the Sumida River (Koto-ku) originally came and went by "Nakasu no ferry". It is now connected by Kiyosu Bridge. By the way, the names of Kiyosubashi were given from Kiyosumi-cho Fukagawa (currently Kiyosumi, Koto-ku) and Nakasucho, Nihonbashi-ku, both sides of the building at the time of construction.

　

　Nakasu used to be literally Nakasu on the Sumida River. This area was also called "Mitsumata" (Mitsumata, etc.), but there seems to be various theories about which flow I pointed to and read so. In any case, it seems that it was "Nakasu" surrounded by the Sumida River, Hakozaki River, and Hamacho River.

　The area where the Hamacho River pours into the Sumida River is called the "Hamacho Riverside", and the reclaimed reclaims the sandy reclaim leads to Hamacho, the Okawa Nakasu Shinchi is maintained, and it is called Tominagacho, and in the middle of the Edo period It seems that there was a time when it was bustling like a flower town.
　After that, it seems that he returned to the shallows full of reeds due to repeated floods, etc., but in the Meiji era, landfills were reclaimed, and Masago-za was formed, making it an entertainment district where restaurants were crowded. However, this prosperity did not last for a long time, and it is said that it declined as early as the Taisho era.

　

Nakasu in the Edo period
　

　The state of Nakasu during the Edo period can be imagined in the picture of Hiroshige Utagawa. This picture is one of Hiroshige's ten picture books depicting famous places in Edo. The lyrics in the upper right corner of the picture are written.

"North of Shinohashi, there is a teahouse in a long time ago, and its liveliness is not a fool. It's a sweeping place now, but it's a landscape of graceful snow."

I'm introducing it.

　
[Kotohiragu Shrine]
　

　Kotohiragu Shrine is located on the northwest side of Kiyosubashi Bridge. Tamagaki, which surrounds the precincts, is engraved with many names of restaurants that can sneak that it was a entertainment district.

　
[Masago-za]
　

　The stone monument at the site of the theater in Masago-za stands quietly in the planting beside the entrance of the apartment. This Masago-za is also known as a theater where Soseki Natsume's "I am Cat Deal" was adapted by Kaoru Osanai and performed as a play "cat". Next to the monument of "Masago-za Ruins", there is a stone slab written as follows in the inscription.

[Mebashi]
　

　The Hakozaki River was located between the town of Nakasu and the neighboring Hamacho. It was reclaimed in 1971 (1971), and now the capital height runs above the head, so you can see the remnants of the waterway trace.
　On the Hakozaki River, there were two bridges, a man bridge and a woman bridge.
　The commemorative plate embedded at the entrance of the apartment is engraved as follows.

It was held with the participation of 15 neighborhood associations in Ningyocho, Kakigara-cho, Hakozaki-cho, etc., and tents of each neighborhood association were set up on a street where half of the roadway on Ningyocho-dori was closed, and steamed rice was brought in from a sticky rice steaming area. Rice cakes were made quickly with a pestle and mortar.

In each tent, rice cakes made by women in the town were placed in packs with kinako and red bean paste. In addition, we were able to purchase it for 200 yen.

Desks and chairs were lined up beside each tent on the street, and many people enjoyed pork juice and udon prepared in each town along with rice cakes.

Under the blue sky of Shiwasu, it was a lively event scene of downtown.

From Ginza, go south on Harumi-dori St.

　If you go further from Harumi Island Triton Square, you will find Harumi Ohashi.

If you look up the sidewalk from the right side of the bridge and look on the right side, you can see the Suzue Gumi Warehouses beyond the grass.

　Until recently, there were a lot of transportation cars coming and going, but now it's quiet.

　Night walks are a little scary because there is no traffic.

I'm pointing my smartphone lens to take a picture, but it's too huge and doesn't seem to fit into the subject.

There are entrances on each floor, which reminds you when many people were entering and exiting this warehouse group.

　This precious warehouse group that retains the remnants of Showa. The site area is also large.

What will happen in the future?

　It was sunny today and beautifully towering against the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge.

The Yaku ancestor patron Festival was held on October 17 at Yaku ancestor patron in Fukutoku no Mori, Nihonbashi, hosted by the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Affairs Association. Many pharmaceutical wholesalers lined up from the early Edo period, and Nihonbashi Honmachi, known as the "medicine town", is still headquartered by many pharmaceutical companies.

The festival originated in 1908 in Meiji 41 (1908) when the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Trade and Commerce Association (currently Tokyo Pharmaceutical Association) welcomed the spirit of the god of medicine from Gojo Ten Shrine (Taito Ward) and went there. . Since 1929 (1929), shrine hall moved to Fukutoku no Mori in September 2019 and was the second festival at the company's palace, following last year. ancestor patron builtReitaisai festival. Many votive lanterns with membership names were arranged beside the plaza in front of the shrine.

　

At the general worship, a large number of office workers from the neighborhood attended, and several people were purified by Miyaji before wishing for sound health. After worshiping, the "Worship Award" was handed out, and a special stage was set up next to it, dedicated "Festival Bayashi".

　

In addition, at the Showa Yaku Trade Building, where the nearby association is located, the soup flour of the long-established `` Higetsudo '' in Kofune-cho is served, and the annual Fukubiki is also held, and prizes are given to those who have been assigned to the "vice" "Fukubukuro" was distributed.

The "Yaku ancestor patron Festival" is only for a few hours in the afternoon, but I would like to visit again next year and wish sound health.
