The Tsukuda / Tsukishima area is changing year by year due to the construction of high-rise apartments, etc., while retaining the old-fashioned cityscape.
Tsukiji Honganji Tsukuda Building, located at the northern end of Nishinaka-dori, which consists of nine floors above ground and one basement floor, is also one of the new interchange bases in this area.
So what kind of facilities do you have?

The Tsukiji Honganji Cafe Tsumugi Hanare Tsukishima Store and the nursing room "Baby Flat" are located on the first floor where it is easy to drop in.
The second floor is the main hall and office of Tsukudajima Branch Hospital, and the third and ninth floors are the Domy Tsukishima Ekimae, a nursing home with nursing care.
It is also characterized by the fact that the inside of the building is designed to be barrier-free so that it can be used easily by children and elderly people.

Tsukiji Honganji Tsukuda Building the day before the opening

At the preview held the day before the opening of September 1, Naoto Higashimori, Deputy Secretary-General of Tsukiji Honganji, explained "Tsukudajima Branch Hospital".
Mr. Higashimori says that "Tsukuda Island Branch" will become a model case for new landmarks and urban temples.

In constructing the building, he inherited the tradition of the original Tsukudajima Archery, reusing some of the tiles and wood, and also considered the landscape to match the surrounding cityscape.
The main features of this branch are "creating bonds while living" and "practicing a business model of a temple that does not rely solely on funerals and graves."
Aiming to become a temple in an urban area where people living nearby and residents of nursing homes can feel free to consult, break away from the image of "funeral Buddhism" and "reliant on Obuse", The temple aims to realize permanent activities by conducting real estate business and forming assets.

The total project cost was approximately 1.7 billion yen.
It seems that most of this is covered by loans from banks.
Tsukiji Honganji's enthusiasm for this new business is also transmitted from its face value.
Isn't it attracting attention as soon as possible as a new temple form?

Yoshimichi Toki, director of the Buddhist memorial service Event Department, gave a historical talk about the relationship between Tsukiji Honganji and Tsukuda Island.
Its edge dates back to the great fire of the Meiryaku era in 1657.

After Asakusa Gobo (the name of Tsukiji Honganji at that time) was burned down, the replacement area of Hatchobori, given by the Shogunate, was reclaimed and became the reconstruction area of Asakusa Gobo.
At that time, the fishermen of Honganji monks who had emigrated to Edo from Tsukuda, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-gun (currently Osaka Prefecture) were instrumental in the landfill work.
The pupils opened the Tsukuda Island Archives on Tsukuda Island to convey the teachings of the Jodo Shinshu sect to their children and grandchildren, and have reached the present day.
The site where the Tsukiji Honganji Tsukuda Building is currently built is the site, and until a few years ago, there was a wooden sermon.
(For the relationship between Tsukuda Island (currently Tsukuda) in Chuo-ku, Tokyo and Tsukuda in Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, see the article in November 2018, "[9th Excursion Series] Efforts Connected by Fishers." Please refer to.)

Tsukuda Island Branch, main hall

Based on the history of such Tsukiji Honganji Temple and Tsukuda Island Archives, tenants were introduced.
Mr. Yoshio Kimizuka, Director of Building Maintenance of Kioritz Corporation and General Manager of Senior Life Division, explained the services provided by the company and paid nursing homes with nursing care in the building.

Just as Tsukiji Honganji attends milestones in life from birth to death, the company also provides services that snuggle up to various milestones in the life of users, from nursery school management to the operation of housing for the elderly.
This time, Tsukiji Honganji received a consultation from "I would like to work on a business that can contribute to society and the community," and it seems that he decided to open a paid nursing home with nursing care in cooperation.

People living on main hall in itself are new, and some may feel somewhat uncomfortable.
However, unlike the house where you can see the grave is shunned, it seems that the presence of a monk listening in the building can work positively for residents.
It is said that applicants will be informed of activities such as brushing Buddhist utensils, but the residents are free to stay with Tsukiji Honganji even if they are tired.

The core of nursing home management is diet, activities, and sleep that lead to the prevention and improvement of lifestyle-related diseases and dementia.
The total number of rooms is 53, with at least one staff member per three residents, as well as nutrition-friendly menus, as well as a service that allows you to enjoy extraordinary things from local menus to cake buffets.
An AI monitoring sensor that allows users to grasp the state of heart rate and body temperature while sleeping in real time has been introduced, providing an environment where residents and their families can feel safe.

Unlike student dormitories where the occupancy rate rises suddenly before and after the entrance ceremony, it is said that the occupancy rate of nursing homes tends to rise moderately, but before the opening on September 1, 20 out of 53 rooms have already been talked about. It seems that it is recording a good start.

Finally, Mr. Kazuhiro Sugiyama, Managing Director and Incubation Company Managing Director of Pront Corporation, explained "Tsukiji Honganji Cafe Tsumugi Hanare Tsukishima Store".
In this cafe, which has Japanese-style rice, drinks, and sweets, similar to the popular menu "Tsukiji Honganji Cafe Tsumugi", the Tsukishima store limited menu "18 items of Buda Bowl" is also offered.
The topping mainly incorporates products from famous stores, and sweets can also be enjoyed "Shizu Daifuku only by Shinran Saints" named after Tsukiji Honganji.

In this article, we focus on disseminating tourist information, so I would like to focus on cafes that will attract a lot of attention in the future, and dig a little deeper.

Like Tsukiji Honganji Cafe Tsumugi, which has a store at the Tsukiji Honganji Information Center, this Tsukishima store, operated by Pront Corporation, has a compact yet stylish and calm atmosphere with 12 seats.
It can be said that this atmosphere has been fostered by creating a cozy space incorporating Japanese motifs and indigo colors unique to the "Japanese Cafe Tsumugi" brand.

The menu is full of high quality and health-conscious products, and will surely resonate with highly sensitive women.
Drinks are Japanese tea from the long-established teahouse "Tafokoshunten Honten" in Osaka, which boasts a history of more than 150 years, Japanese tea herb tea with an original blend of Japanese tea by the tea leaf instructor of the store, matcha and hojicha.
In September, when the heat still remains, we recommend cold tea that allows you to taste the unique taste of watering.

In addition, the food is beautiful to see and take pictures, and you can enjoy 5 kinds of "buddah bowls" that are good for your body because you can take many items.
The Buddha bowl is derived from the fact that the excitement of vegetables plenty placed on cereals resembles the plump belly of Buddha.

All busda bowls are equipped with "shell dashi miso soup", and you can make a drink set with 418 yen including tax.
Why don't you combine it with Japanese tea herb tea that can be selected according to your mood and condition, such as "refresh", "balance" and "active"?

While there are `` Sinless Sea Bowl '' and `` Soybean Meat Loko Moko-style Buda Bowl '' using sea-flavored fish surimi, the menu created in collaboration with Tsukiji Honganji is the aforementioned `` 18 items Buda Bowl '' (1540 yen including tax).
The "18th Wish" in relation to the name is the center of the 48th vows made by Amida, the main deity of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, to save all living things, and "I will never abandon you."

The 18 items that are worrisome are silver salmon salted kojiyaki (fish riverside Kitada), sweet kelp tsukudani (Edo Ichi), watermelon Narazuke (Yoshiokaya Sohonten), Setouchi grilled seaweed (Kaneko Noriten), Maiko Shibazuke (Yoshiokaya Sohonten), Toro Yuba, black beans (Edo Ichi), Egg-yaki (tsuki Matsuro), Egged)

It is said that you can enjoy the taste of famous stores in Tsukiji Outer Market, which is different from the 18 items offered at the Tsukiji Honganji cafe, so even those who have already eaten "18 items of breakfast" should definitely taste it It is a menu that you want.

This time, we had a deep tea (cold tea) from Kagoshima Prefecture.
The point is to put the desired amount of bonito on a budd bowl at your preferred timing.
The toppings are high quality without compromise.
Not only can you enjoy the difference in texture, but the balance of the addition of the taste is just right and very satisfied.

Looking at the photos, it is obvious at a glance, but above all, silver salmon is a big response.
Tsukudani, which originated in Tsukuda Island, has a strong taste and taste, while the soaking of Toroyuba, Yuzubetazuke, and okura is light.
The miso soup of the shellfish, where the umami of the shellfish spreads in the mouth, is also delicious, and I wanted to use this cafe.
If you are planning to sightseeing in the Tsukuda / Tsukishima area in the near future, please enjoy the "18 Buda Bowl"!

Sweets include three kinds of cakes, such as "Imo Yokan no Wasanbon Burile", "Waguri and scorched powdered Hojicha Mont Blanc", and "Mitarashi Chiffon-Hokkaido Azuki and Milky Whip" and "Shinran Saints' Salted Bean Daifuku".
Daifuku is a gem derived from Shinran's preference for red beans, 770 yen including tax for one piece and 990 yen including tax for two pieces.

The mochi is made of carefully selected flavorful glutinous rice with a pestle, and it is easy and soft anyway!
In addition, red peas, which are finished in an elegant salty taste with Akaho Teshio, exquisitely enhance the sweetness of Koshian using red beans from Hokkaido.
Since it is placed in a small box with good appearance, it is perfect for taking home as well as souvenirs.
Please check the taste by yourself.♪

The Tsukiji Honganji Tsukuda Building was completed in 2022, the 100th anniversary of the burning of Tsukiji Honganji main hall due to the fire associated with the Great Kanto Earthquake.
Both Tsukiji Honganji and Tsukuda Island Betsuin are changing progressively according to the times and milestones.
Tsukiji Honganji's efforts to continuously become an "open temple" are surprising in a good sense every time.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the effects of cafes and Tsukishima Branch Hospital, which can be used freely as new places for relaxation and exchange in the Tsukuda and Tsukishima areas, will have on that area in the future.

In writing this article, a public relations officer at Tsukiji Honganji cooperated.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again.
