Yappa_Cho-Oh-ku_dabesa.jpg

  

 Thank you very much for your support to everyone who is watching this blog.

  

 I would like to report it.

  

 I would like to ask for this in a secret manner, but the antakushi fell in the 11th sightseeing test held the other day (>_<) U!... I'm sorry. I'm sad. Nasakenai.

  

 I was studying properly ... (probably)

  

 It was sweet (>_<) 

  

 Actually, until now, blog manuscripts posted by Atakushi have been deleted from time to time, but this is the last request.

  

 Only this article will be uploaded as it is. (← Scream of the soul)

  

   There are many things. The misery of this world takes various forms.

  

 I am very sorry to all the fans who have been looking forward to Correspondent De Niro's "Blog with a lot of problems" for many years (although it's about three years).

  

 On the day of the production, immediately after the end of the test, I thought, "Maybe it may be vague", and it was found by self-scoring, but I could not accept this heavy fact for a while, and I was in a state of ecstasy. Was. You can wander around the city and look back at the Yokocho that you once visited on a bra walk. Volunteer registration seems to be effective, so I feel that a guide that seems to be problematic (if there is a voice from the Chuo-ku Tourism Association), but I feel that it is possible to continue.

  

 Even though I failed the test,

  

 It's easy to guide customers from the top.

  

 It's unlikely that a shy ataxi of a shy shop will be able to do it.

  

 I also thought that I would not disclose this matter.

  

 It only disappears quietly without knowing it.

  

 I want to give up my family to you! Well, I'm already giving it up.

  

"The past is a stimulus as a fantasy and restores the light of life to the present" board rail "Evil flower"

  

 Is it so dented that I failed the exam? Forty years ago, I had lost several times in college exams, but it was somewhat different from the feeling of frustration at that time. Unlike youth, full of dreams and hopes, as a younger elderly, a small desire to connect with society and people has broken down.

  

 No, but in the world, it is said to be the age of 100 years of life.

  

 Isn't it still "before dawn" for late-elderly people?

  

 Even if a correspondent is disqualified, it will not be human disqualified.

  

 I have no choice but to face the dirty sadness.

  

 Life is not a beautiful album.

  

 I couldn't take a picture!

  

 With that in mind, I decided to take on the challenge again to study for a long and painful exam.

  

  I hope you will be warmly watched.

  

  Hope is like a bat, hitting with timid wings, hitting his head against a decayed ceiling and flying away (boardrails)

  

  I want to die positively so that I can burn everything except tomorrow. (Original Mama)

  

  Everyone of the tourist association's non-official NPO "De Niro and wonderful friends", all correspondents, good luck. Good luck!

  

 Atakushi doesn't lose.

  

  Enduring hardship, sneaking sneaking, and I Char Return!

  

  

 No, Chuo-ku is a good thing.
 

  


   Let's see you again, everyone!

  


Sayonara!

  

 Sayonara!

  

 

  

   ・・Sayonara!

  


Good bye (>_<)

"There is a mango called" Egg of the Sun ". Like that, it is a tangerine that is Blanding in Miyazaki.

Among the product names "I happened to happen", the one with a higher ripe and sugar content is "I happened to be excellent".

It's the finest one. That's not right. Even so, the price has calmed down.

Among the fruits that are now available, the one with the highest sugar content is this citrus. I recommend it.

It seems that it was branded at the time of Governor Hideo Higashikunihara."

Upper image left: Kiwifruit Koryoku 864 yen per piece within 17 degrees of sugar content from Kagawa

"Koryoku" It is grown from the natural crossing of a species called "Hayward". Registered varieties in 1987.

A slightly elongated large cylindrical fruit. The flesh is bright emerald green.

It has a high sugar content, plenty of sweetness, and also has freshness.

"It's a new variety made from the mainstream species of Hayward.

Characteristics are that the sugar content is very high, and the cross section when cut is emerald.

(others) It's completely different."

 

IMG_20190214_133259 (2)a.jpgI cut it. (right image)

The long and thin one is incense green from Kagawa, and the normal oval is from Fukuoka.

 

Upper image right: Kiwifruit Fukuoka-produced sugar content 324 yen per piece within 14 degrees Celsius

This is also a delicious variety, but the rosmari food lipo squad will try to taste the food comparison with Kagawa's incense green.

As usual, we do not give much information in advance.

In addition, all members eat this meal after eating ordinary kiwi that happened to lunch.

<Fuku> It is from Fukuoka, and <ka> is from Kagawa.

"<Fuku> I enjoyed both sweetness and acidity and it was delicious. <Scent> The sugar content was extremely high, and it was so sweet and delicious that I could hardly feel sour. " Mr. S Yama.

"<Fuku> The fruit has a strong flavor and strong aroma. The acidity is also delicious. <Scent> Sweet and chewy that you can't imagine as a kiwi. The skin was soft and like a cake." O.

"<Fuku> It has a strong acidity but tasteful. <Scent> It's the first time I have ever eaten such a sweet kiwi." Mr. Tsan, 3.

"<Fuku> Sweet and sour taste is delicious. <Scent> The sweetness is deep." Mr. Si.

"<Fuku> It was sweeter than I usually eat. <Scent> It was soft and easy to eat." Mr. S branch.

Maskmelon 1200g 12,960 yen 1300g 16,200 yen

       1400g21,600 yen 1500g or more 27,000 yen

The mask has nothing to do with the mask of the mask.

The origin of the name is that it is fragrant like musk (musk).

It is grown carefully in a greenhouse covered with glass instead of vinyl.

Moreover, one fruit on one stem: The sweetness is condensed by the luxurious cultivation method of one stem.

It excels in fragrance, sweetness, texture, and all, and its noble taste is exactly the king of fruit.

Once purchased, ripen at room temperature, and cool it for 2 or 3 hours before the date indicated on the attached bill.

"Melons made in Shizuoka Prefecture are collectively referred to as" mask melon ".

Among them, the one made in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture is called "Crown Melon".

At Senbikiya, they say mask melon, but most of them sell Crown melons.

I try to keep this melon in the sun as much as possible.

And when it comes to a certain size, we put a white cloth to prevent it from hitting the sun.

When it hits the sun, it turns green, and the blue smell comes out. ・・・

The concept of Senbikiya is to provide delicious foods at the time of eating.

Therefore, we look at the withering of the melon's "heta" and look at the overall softness and color change to guide customers.

If you say "Press your buttocks to judge," the melon will be damaged.

We think that it is the role of Senbikiya to eat the best food at a delicious time. "

 

IMG_20190214_133042a.jpg

 The fee for the paulownia box is 1080 yen.

"The only country in Japan is such a wooden box, put in a makeup box, wrap it, and put on a ribbon.

In foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, fruits are processed into jams (because the sugar content is low).

I think only Japan is the only food that has a high sugar content and a moderate acidity. "

 

IMG_20190214_134720 (2)a.jpg

Assorted fruits 32,400 yen

It is a sophisticated assortment unique to Senbikiya Sohonten.

378 yen per queen strawberry chocolate

Introducing a dish from the Western confectionery corner. It's an item for White Day.

Senbikiya's original Queen Strawberry is made into two colors of chocolate.

 

・・Mr. Yonamine, thank you for teaching me a lot.

Not just Hinamatsuri, March third.

[Koedo Itabashi] February 21, 2019 14:00

The white wear was delivered by courier from the VOLUNTAINER office.

I feel at once, Tokyo Marathon.

White is for members of related events.

I will be in charge of the Tokyo Marathon EXPO 2019 runner reception.

Every year, I participate in volunteers on the day of the tournament, but this year I applied for a new related event.

  

"Let's participate in the Tokyo Marathon."

I applied from the first time in 2007 due to the excitement of a drinking party at the workplace, but the lottery rate for winning has increased every year.

In that case, I turned to volunteers, but when I tried it, the feeling of being involved in the tournament management was fun, and it continued like an annual event.

So I noticed that, despite being an annual event, I didn't go through the entire course as a result.

Would you like to walk through? (It's not running)

I tried to work leisurely in four days to complete the course even though it was late.

I pass by many runners who practice hard.

The final performance of the March 3rd is almost complete.

 

The marathon course has changed significantly since 2017.

Starting from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, it was up to Odaiba and Tokyo Big Sight, but the goal was on Yukiyuki Street in front of Tokyo Station.

It covers a wide range of famous places in Tokyo and is the best location to finish toward the Imperial Palace, against the backdrop of Tokyo Station Red Brick Station Building.

 

By the way, the Chuo-ku area during the course starts just before the intersection of Muromachi 4-chome on National Route 17, which passes under the viaduct of Kanda Station.

I'm going south along Chuo-dori toward Nihonbashi.

Crossing Nihonbashi, COREDO Nihonbashi-mae is the finish of the 10km course.

The full marathon will take Eitai-dori St. to Kayabacho 1-chome.

Enter Shin-ohashi-dori St. and cross the Kayaba Bridge.

Enter Kiyosubashi-dori at Hamacho Nakanohashi Intersection, go north through Kiyosugi-dori, and cross Asakusabashi.

Beyond that is the Taito-ku area. The Sumida-ku area, which turns around Kaminarimon, crosses Kuramae Bridge, and turns around Monzennakacho.

Cross Asakusabashi again and return to the Chuo-ku area.

Return the same route to Nihonbashi and take Chuo-dori toward Kyobashi and Ginza.

The area around the Nihonbashi intersection is a great support spot where you can see runners in three directions.

Turn at the Ginza 4-chome intersection to Harumi-dori St. and head toward Hibiya. The end of the Sukiyabashi intersection is the Chiyoda-ku area again.

In addition, the course will turn back near Sengakuji Temple in front of Shinagawa Station in the Minato-ku area and go north toward the finish.

 

Yes, the distance mark of "Tokyo Marathon Start" is marked on the sidewalk in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 1, which is the starting point. It is the point where the gun rings and a heart-shaped confetti dances.

The distance mark is written every kilometer on a curb on the boundary between the roadway and the sidewalk.

In front of COREDO Nihonbashi, there is a "Tokyo Marathon 10km".

It seems that some people continue to take pictures with the aim of completing this distance marker.

 

Until now, we have been providing runner support such as baggage reception, water supply and lunch, and toilet guidance, but when we look over the entire course, the meaning of each activity has become clearer.

On March 3 of this year, I manage the course around Kanda.

From now on, my heart is growing.

Everyone, please stay in good shape and do your best.

 

 

The story of the active era played by bells

[Hanes] February 21, 2019 12:00


Hello. I'm a new correspondent (Hanes)
As March approaches, it's time to find a "small spring".
Kikaku Takarai, a poet related to Chuo-ku, wrote about the spring of Edo (New Year).

"There is no day when one bell can't be sold, spring in Edo"

It is said that Edo was prosperous enough to sell even the bells of temples that are unlikely to sell.
I can't see such a sight now, but
In Chuo-ku, there are many bells that have seen the passage of time for a long time.
This time, I went to see some of these bells.

■Bronze Bell, Kokumachi Bell (Nihonbashi Kodenmacho 5-2) / Made in Japan
This bell, which was set up in Honishi-cho around the time of the second shogun Hidetada, informs people of Edo Castle about the time.
Because it was near Nagasakiya, Kawayanagi was written saying, "The bell of Kokumachi can be heard to the Netherlands."

IMG_4001.JPG

The bell is about 170cm tall and is about the average height of an adult man.
(Speaking of about 170cm in Chuo-ku)...The iron bodhisattva head of Daikanonji also has the same size. )
I can hit this bell specially on New Year's Eve, so I would like to try it someday.

■Catholic Tsukiji Church (5-26 Akashicho) / Made in France
Here is the copper-made Western Bell (Kumin Tangible Cultural Property), commonly known as "JEANNE LOUISE DE YEDO" in Edo.
This bell was cast and donated in 1876.
At that time, during the Meiji era, it was already renamed "Edo" to "Tokyo".
So why was it named "Janne Louise of Edo" as the bell name suggests?...
The reason for this is that at the time of ordering the bell to Renne, the name "Tokyo" was not yet thoroughly enforced.

The event that could be said to be the origin of the Sumida River Fireworks Festival was held in 1732.
The name has changed with the times, and it seems that the current name has taken root is newer than expected.
Looking at the changes in the name, it is interesting to get a glimpse of the background and intentions of the times.

IMG_4272.JPG

The "Adelaide Josephine," a bell that once duet with this bell, is known as "Adelaide Josephine."
This is exactly what Harumi Madam introduced last year.

Both bells were spared from the metal supplies of Pacific War, and did not become cannons.
As an aside, Jeanne Louise remains intact to this day, whereas
The Adelaide Josephine has overcome the rough waves of the times.
The bell was engraved with the name of the French legal scholar Boasonard.
I was able to escape the metal supply at Pacific War, but
Once broken, it was recasted in 1957 with the donation of a believer at Sekiguchi Church.

■Peace Bell (in the median strip between Nihonbashi 3-4 and Kyobashi 1-1) / Made in the Netherlands
This bell commemorates the 380th anniversary of Osamu Nichiran in 1989.
It was established by Chuo-ku in hope of world peace as a member of an international city.
The 26 bells are the largest in the world in the manufacture of Carillon Swing Bells.
With more than 100 years of history and excellent technology and achievements, he was awarded the title of "Royal" by the Dutch royal family.
Manufactured by Royal I Suvautu, Netherlands

IMG_4202.JPG

The bell plays a song typified by the song "My Town" in Chuo-ku at 0 minutes every hour.
If you are concerned about the melody, or if you live far away, please contact us.
From Heiwa, Chuo-ku Prayer Virtual Museum

IMG_4209.JPG

■Ginza Bell (Ginza Church: Ginza 4-2-1) / Made by U.K.
This is not so known compared to the above three bells, but
It is located on the right side of the stairs of Ginza Church.
It is a historical bell that has witnessed the transition of Ginza for about 90 years since the third hall was built in 1928.

However, it was cast in 1878, the same age as the bell of the Catholic Tsukiji Church!
Blews & Son (Blews & Son) in Birmingham City has a total of 227 kg.
The owner, William Bruus, remains a record as a craftsman making brass candlesticks, but
It seems that the church bell was also cast, and the bell of the time remains in the home base Birmingham.
How did this church bell cross the sea?...Don't you bother me?

IMG_4215.JPG

So, if you look at the bell inscription, you can see words about the casting company or church, but take a closer look at lines 3 to 4.
Why isn't it engraved with NAGASAKI JAPAN?
This is a great clue for the bell to come to Ginza.
As a British lover, I couldn't pull down here, so after further investigation, I found the following:

In 1873 (Meiji 11), the oldest protestant sacred school in Japan, which later became Dejima Holy Public Hall Theological School, was established in Nagasaki.

Dejima.jpg
(This building is indicated by a red arrow. When I visited last year, I didn't know that it was related to the Ginza Church. )

At that time, this bell, which Thomas Graver ordered, was attached.
However, the bell fell in an earthquake that occurred in 1922....
After that, missionary Scott has bought it.

The following year, the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred, and the Ginza Church was burned down....
It was revived in 1928, when the aforementioned Third Hall was completed.
At this time, the bell obtained from the Scott was attached.

Finally, the relationship between Nagasaki and Ginza appears on this bell has emerged.
Why did Glaver custom to Bruus & Sun?
We have not yet fully clarified what kind of person missionary Scott was and what kind of relationship it had with Ginza Church.
If you know the details, I will introduce them again on the blog!

■Yeah
This time, we introduced the bells seen in the city, how was it?
The countries of making bells are all different, and I feel again that Chuo-ku is international in the past.
An unexpected relationship with Nagasaki was also found.
As you mentioned, some of them have retired bells.
In this way, if you understand the history of the active era, you can gradually see the background of the era at that time.
In Chuo-ku, I hope you will find "one bell" very interesting.

◆ Kyobashi Monogatari 5-From Minami Temmacho to Kyobashi

[Sumida Fireworks] February 21, 2019 09:00

The fifth episode of Kyobashi Monogatari. It's a continuation from the last time.

Until the last time → 【①【②】【③】④】

 

Minami Temmacho, where the remnants of the Taisho era remained even after the Great Kanto Earthquake. In this city, which is lined with modern buildings, we decided to continue to look at the reconstruction of Ginza from a high place. If you sit in a chair, the view looks very pleasant. Entering the Showa era, the cityscape of Ginza Street has also clearly changed.

s_hanabi_72-1.jpg

On the left of the street, a department store in Matsuya has already opened. In the back, you can see Matsuzakaya slightly, and the reconstruction of the city of Ginza seems to be progressing rapidly, led by these two department stores.

 

On the other hand, the scenery of Minami Temmacho around 1928. The streetcars and shared buses are shown on the street, indicating that they are booming. The renovation of the Hoshi Pharmaceutical building has begun, and the Katakurakan on the leftmost part has been expanded. 

s_hanabi_72-2rv.jpg

 

In the fall of 1928, Emperor Showa's memorial service (gratitude) is held, and a memorial tower is set up in Kyobashi. The great scripture is a series of ceremonies, such as the throne, Great Thanksgiving Ceremony. At the time of Emperor Taisho, what was done in 1915 was introduced in Kyobashi Monogatari 2.

s_hanabi_72-3rv.jpg

This year 2019 is a memorable year, and as you know, the throne will take place on October 22. This year's throne is held in Tokyo in the same way as in the Heisei era, but it is said that it was held at the Kyoto Imperial Palace during the Showa and Taisho eras.

 

In 1930, seven years have passed since the earthquake. There is a break in the earthquake reconstruction project.

s_hanabi_72-4.jpgHoshi Pharmaceutical buildings, which had been damaged by the earthquake, have been renewed, and the reconstruction of the city of Minami Temmacho has ended for the time being. Nevertheless, the cityscape of Minami Temmacho, which retains the remnants of the Taisho era. People walking on Ginza Street may have felt a kind of nostalgia.

s_hanabi_72-5rv.jpg

Then, in late March 1930, the Imperial City Reconstruction Festival will be held. Many citizens rush to Ginza Street and share the joy of reconstruction.

 

The main pillar of Kyobashi facing the heavens and the tower of the building in Minami Temmacho. A double pole of a tram in the commemorative celebration tower. The place where the crowd standing in front of it looks at is the city of Ginza that has been reconstructed.

s_hanabi_72-6rv.jpg

The whole city of Minami Temmacho, which has been watching Ginza until now, seems to be blessing the reconstructed city of Ginza by raising both hands toward Ginza Street, saying "Hanzai!"

 

If you can go back in time in the past only once in Chuo-ku, when and where would you like to go? 。 I would like to designate somewhere in this wonderful photo and look at Ginza Street. The tongari roof of Daido Life Building in the upper left looks good.

 

 

But after all, it might be better to look down on Ginza Street from the tower of Daiichi Mutual Hall in the upper right.

s_hanabi_72-7.jpgThis year when Ginza Mitsukoshi also opened at the 4-chome intersection. There was a change in the town of Ginza. Ginza, which was up to 4-chome, expanded to 8-chome, and the location of Owaricho, where the Matsuzakaya Ginza store was built, has been changed to Ginza 6-chome.

 

The following year, Showa 6 (1931). The same thing happens in Minami Temmacho.

Just as the bridge stopped giboshi since Edo, Minami Temmacho and the surrounding cities also decided to stop the name of the town since Edo. It will be a manifestation of the consciousness of moving toward a new era. The new town name I chose is "Kyobashi". It was the moment when the modern city and modern bridges formed during the Taisho era were integrated in both name and reality.

 

The following year, in 1932, the clock tower of Hattori Clock Store was built at the Ginza 4-chome intersection. On the other hand, on Kyobashi-dori, the Fukutoku Life Building is completed on the left hand side, and the face of the city of Kyobashi changes.

s_hanabi_72-9rv.jpg

And don't forget that famous building in the city of Kyobashi. This building will be built next to Chiyoda-kan between Hoshi Pharmaceutical and Chiyoda-kan at Kyobashi 2-chome. In the early Showa period, there was a gable roof-style balack and a French restaurant Konosu.

s_hanabi_72-10.jpg 

Is it around 1932? If you look at Kyobashi 2-chome from the Daiichi Mutual Hall, you can see that the land was vacant at this point.

That building is the building of Meijiya. It was completed in 1933 next to Chiyoda-kan. The picture postcard below shows a little Meijiya.

s_hanabi_72-12rv.jpg

In this way, you can see that the Meijiya building was a latecomer building built in the city of Kyobashi. By the way, I think that the only buildings in this postcard still remain in this Meijiya building and the Nihonbashi Takashimaya, which was completed in the same year, in the back right of the street. In Ginza, the Kyobunkan building was built in the same year, and it still remains.

 

In addition, this Meijiya building was built by connecting the basement and the subway station, and during construction, a subway ran to Kyobashi Station. Asakusa Kaminoma opened in 1927 and gradually expanded the opening section to Kyobashi Station in December 1932, and Ginza Station in March 1934.

This street, where department stores have expanded mainly in Ginza and the subway has been opened, attracts new customers and is extremely prosperous. However, the prosperity of Ginza Street means that the role of the town of Kyobashi has been completed, "watching the reconstruction of Ginza."

After this, the wartime color became darker and controlled, and I have not been able to find Kyobashi postcards since then. Almost in this form, we entered the Pacific War and ended the war. 

 

And the next time is the last one. Until now, it was a long story from the first to fifth times, but when you click on some of the images, you can see enlarged images and explanatory images. I hope you look back again and look at the next final episode.

Followed.

 

 

 

One of the correspondents' reflection meeting Part 3-From the 11th Chuo-ku sightseeing test-

[Edamame] February 20, 2019 18:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

Last time → /archive/2019/02/11-15.html

Two times before → /archive/2019/02/11-14.html

And continue to do so.

From the "11th Chuo-ku Tourism Certification" conducted on February 3 (Sun)

I would like to take up the problem you care about.

 
Q26 Near the north entrance of Tsukiji's National Cancer Center is related to the Navy.

There are two monuments lined up.

One is the stone monument of "Navy Military Medical School Ruins", but the name of the other monument is

Which of the following is it?

A. The birthplace of the Navy. The ruins of the warship training center U. Monument of Naval Accounting School The site of the Naval Army Dormitory
 

≪An excuse for Edamame≫

Actually ... When I was studying to become a correspondent (end of 2016)

It seems that the area near the north entrance of the National Cancer Center was under construction.

I couldn't see the two monuments here ...

And at that time, I put azuki (one and a half years old at that time)

Because I was traveling around the city while pushing a stroller

I don't have the courage to go into a dangerous place.

※Another one of my tsukkomi※

I should have seen exactly where there is other than the right choice.

It must have been done by the erasing method!
 

・・Yeah. Reflection.

But this is "Go to Tsukiji again!"

Let's go, thinking that it is God's word.

 

A. The birthplace of the Navy

・・While saying, this is the only one in the past image.

The birthplace of the Navy was the so-called Tsukiji "in-place market".

Currently, the market is being demolished and entry is prohibited.

DSC_2450-1.jpg

That's why I miss you (?) It's an image.

In the precincts of "Mizu Shrine" located in the market

DSC_2451-1.jpg

There was a monument written in large letters "Hagiyama".

This place was originally the lower house of Sadanobu Matsudaira.

In the Meiji era, the Ministry of Naval was placed here.

The garden "Yuonen" (frequently!) In artificial hill

The name of "Hagiyama" is derived from the establishment of the "Navy Sir Flag".

・・・ Obviously, it's not near the "North Entrance of Cancer Center".

 

B. The ruins of the warship training center

There are no monuments left here.

There is a signboard of the Chuo-ku Board of Education.

DSC_5164-1.jpg

In 1857, the Shogunate aimed at flagship books and family members in the Kobusho in Tsukiji.

Founded the Warship Professor's Office.

Later, it was renamed "Warship Training Center".

It's also known that Kaishu Katsu was the president.

Here's the place.

Warship training center jpg

It is a sidewalk along Harumi-dori St., just off the intersection of Tsukiji 6-chome.

That's why this seems to be different.

By the way ... "The" warship training center "is in the middle of such land? ?』 So

Some of you may think about it.

Around the end of the Tokugawa period, reclaiming the Tsukishima and Kachidoki areas, which are opposite banks across Kachidokibashi, has not begun.

The sea was spreading in front of Tsukiji's eyes.

So there was no wonder to "manipulate" a "warship".
 

C. Monument of Naval Accounting School

B. From the information board of the "Warship Training Center Ruins"

Let's walk straight towards Kachidokibashi.

DSC_5166-1.jpg

At the base of Kachidokibashi is this "Navy Accounting School Monument".

It began in 1874 when the Naval Accounting School Building was established on Shiba.

It was relocated to the former site of Yuonen in 1888.

It became the name of the Navy Accounting School in 1907 and relocated to a corner of Tsukiji in 1932.

Then, in September 1945, with the dismantling of the Navy after the war, the history of 70 years ended.

However, due to the development of human resources who are well-versed in accounting.

It seems that many people who were active even after the war have been produced.

By the way, the "Kachidokibashi Museum" is located next to it.

(Closed on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday.)

Kachidokibashi has a structure that can be opened and closed.

It was made by renovating a substations made for opening and closing.

You can see materials and models related to the bridge.

 

D. The site of the Naval Army Dormitory

That's why "E. is correct by erasing method!" ・It's not.

Let's go to see the "North Entrance of Cancer Center" properly.

It's just on the other side of Shin-ohashi-dori St., so it's a bit far away.

I saw it after a long time ...

DSC_5155-1.jpg

The construction was over and it was paved beautifully!

And what you are looking for is on the right side of the sidewalk.

DSC_5153-1.jpg

The naval dormitory toes and the naval medicine school toes are two.

It was in the planting side by side.

The name of the Navy Dormitory was born in 1870 (1870).

The predecessor is A. The "warship training center" was an option.

In 1876 (1876), it was further renamed the Naval Academy.

It was here until 1888 (1888), when it moved to Etajima, near the guardian office of Kure, Hiroshima.

In addition, the site seems to have been used as "Navy University School".

And the road that Emperor Meiji had taken to go to this naval school

It is "Miyuki-dori" that still retains its name in Ginza today.

Previously, a wonderful senior correspondent "Jimini ☆ Cricket" was a wonderful senior correspondent.

There are some articles that have been posted, so please refer to them as well.

I've read this article before.

After all, it was a problem that I had to solve. It's a great reflection.

 

Walking around the city of Tsukiji, which has many historical sites related to the Navy.

Of course, besides that

DSC_5152-1.jpg

It is Tsukiji Honganji Temple

DSC_5161-1.jpg

Even though it was a weekday afternoon, it was still very busy.

There are a lot of things to see.

By the way, as for information with children ...

There is a clean, spacious and easy-to-use multipurpose toilet (of course there is a diaper changing table).

The existence of "Tsukiji Fish Bank" is very helpful.

Even small children can go out with peace of mind.
