A road that may be the only way now
In Chuo-ku, there are many culverts and traces of digging. Digging is a canal made for fire protection and boating in the early Edo period, and remained until before the war. Around Nihonbashi, the Ryukan River and Hamacho River corresponded, and they joined the active Nihonbashi River and Sumida River and surrounded the area around the area. It's Kanda Hatchobori.
These traces of digging still have a unique trolley atmosphere. It is located in a place that is different from the current street, narrow, dark and quiet, but small shrines and temples and small restaurants line up, and the footsteps of the past people coming and going here seem to be lively.
Whether it's a culvert, an abandoned road, or a digging trace, walking along the past road is quite fun, and there are also clubs that walk along the digging trace. It is also often used in scenes where criminals can be suppressed when shooting criminal dramas....
These roads are a bit scary, but there are usually people in the daytime and there are explanation boards.
If you walk through the digging safely, it becomes a park, and the bridge at that time is preserved.
However, these paths are no longer at a fierce speed. With the wave of redevelopment, the road itself has disappeared, and it has been transformed into a bright and beautiful well-maintained road.
Of course, it is inevitable in terms of building safety and crime prevention. In the Heisei era, it was miraculous to see such a scenery in the city center, but it will be gone soon. It's time for Showa to be incorporated into one of the "history".
That's why if you are worried, you may want to walk along the ruins of the digging inside!
It's about a whole day to walk not only in the Nihonbashi area but also from Kyobashi to Tsukiji digging. The brain cracks in good condition as it comes out and enters traces of the world's megacities and dark and thin Edo. We recommend an application that allows you to switch between Edo and Heisei from time to time while navigating the current location, such as "Tokyo Time Map".
And one more thing!
It is a special map "News from Local Room" appendix map that can be purchased at the Kyobashi Library! !
This map is really wonderful, and it is possible to combine cut-out drawings of the Edo period with modern maps with tracing paper. Similar books are available to the general public, but they are not cut off in large format, and they are made to fit perfectly. There's nothing else.
When you go to the library, there is a sample affixed and you can purchase it for several hundred yen. I think that the "Bridge Pocket Map" that can be purchased here and at the "Kachidokibashi Museum" is the best map two top available in Chuo-ku, so I recommend it by slightly high heat.
Because the city is alive, no matter how important it is, it will be lost more and more over time.
However, if you think that it may be a way to enter only now, everyday life may be strange and fun!
