In addition, the app also provides information on the history of each spot, its relationship with Eiichi Shibusawa, addresses, business hours, etc., which is very convenient!
You can enjoy learning while collecting stamps, so it's two birds with one stone.
There are also prizes that can be applied according to the number of participation prizes that everyone can receive and the number of stamps, so you will naturally be motivated to participate.♪
stamp rally is a smartphone that you can enjoy, regardless of men and women of all ages, whether you are interested in Eiichi Shibusawa in Taiga drama series, want to go sightseeing at your own pace, love walking around the town, or have suddenly free time.

In Chuo-ku, 5 spots are designated from the Nihonbashikabutocho area.
I also tried stamp rally, so I would like to briefly introduce these spots along with my impressions.

The first one I visited was KABUTO ONE, a new landmark in Nihonbashikabutocho, completed at the end of August 2021.
The large multi-purpose building, consisting of 15 floors above ground and 2 floors below ground, is home to offices, conferences, library lounges, restaurants and more.

In the open atrium facing the intersection of Eitai-dori St. and Heisei-dori, the world's largest cube-type large LED display "The HEART" is installed, and it is an overwhelming presence even from outside the building that engraves the heartbeat of the Japanese economy!
Below such a display is the spot this time, and it is "KABUTO ONE's Akaishi (Eiichi Shibusawa's lucky stone)" which has often appeared in this blog.

Why is it called "Eiichi Shibusawa's lucky stone"?...
Please confirm the reason when you visit the site in stamp rally.♪

The next spot I visited was the site of the Daiichi National Bank (the birthplace of the bank).
Currently, it is the Mizuho Bank Kabuto-cho branch, and the southern wall is embedded with a plate of "the birthplace of the bank" engraved with the exterior of the building at that time.

On the west wall of the building, there is a map of Kabuto-cho history that shows the footprints of Eiichi Shibusawa in Nihonbashikabutocho at a glance, and a panel that shows the history of Daiichi National Bank.
Don't miss it when you visit this area in stamp rally!

Next, we went to the Nisshokan, a collective building that gathered stock exchanges at the site of Eiichi Shibusawa mansion.
Eiichi lived in Nihonbashikabutocho from 1873 to 1876 and from 1888 to 1901.
mansion, once located here and lived since 1888, was a Venice Gothic building designed by Kingo Tatsuno.

The Nisshokan, which can be seen today, is one of the representative architectural works of the Yokogawa Works established by architect Tamisuke Yokogawa.
It is composed of three layers of classical style, and features arch windows.
The digital stamp rally app "furari" also provides information on the process of moving from Eiichi Shibusawa mansion to Nisshokan and related information on Eiichi Shibusawa.
Why don't you stop in front of the Nisshokan and think about the time when Eiichi lived?

If you walk a little east of Nisshokan, you will see the Tokyo Stock Exchange (the birthplace of securities transactions), which uses Inada stone as building materials.
Eiichi Shibusawa, Kiyonosuke Imamura and Hirayatsu Tanaka are the former site of Japan's first stock exchange, which was founded mainly by three businessmen.

After learning about the specific contributions of Eiichi in establishing the stock exchange through the app, we will move on to the fifth spot.

At the five spots in Chuo-ku, the last visit was the birthplace of electric light supply.
I've visited this area several times so far, but I didn't know that it was related to Eiichi Shibusawa, so this time I visited again with a fresh feeling.

In 1882, Eiichi Shibusawa and others established the Tokyo Electric Light Company.
Five years later, Japan's first thermal power plant (thermal power plant) was built in Tokyo and began supplying electric lights to Nippon Yusen Corporation and Tokyo Post Office.
At the birthplace of electric light supply, I was reminded of what the power generation facilities were at that time, and I was once again surprised that the businesses involved Eiichi were so diverse.

As I briefly introduced at the beginning, this digital stamp rally has different prizes that can be exchanged and applied depending on the number of stamps.
Fortunately, you can get at least one stamp for the participation prize "Shibusawa-kun Original Sticker".
If more than 5 stamps are collected, you can apply for the former Shibusawa House Award "Old Shibusawa House Postcard (not for sale)".
In other words, you can get a participation prize when you visit 5 spots in the Nihonbashikabutocho area, and you can apply for the former Shibusawa House Award!

I immediately exchanged and applied, but the sticker was designed by Eiichi Shibusawa with a glittering eyes popping out of my smartphone.
It's unexpectedly cute, and I'm wondering where to put it.♪

However, for those who say "I can't go around yet" or "I don't walk around the town", the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry A Award "Tosho Shibusawa Goods Assorted Set", Tokyo Chamber of Commerce B Award "Eitaro Sohonpo Set (Eiichi Shibusawa Original Design)", Paris Expo Award "JTB 50,000 yen", which can be applied for with more than 20 stamps, "JTB 5 stamps!

In the digital stamp rally we have participated in so far, the type that reads QR codes posted on spots was the mainstream, but this time we did not read them.
Since stamp rally is linked to the location information of the smartphone, press the "Get Stamp" button near the spot to check the location information and get a stamp of Eiichi Shibusawa.
At first, I searched for QR codes unintentionally, but in this way, stamps can be collected regardless of spot business hours or opening hours.♪

Once you have completed the preparation of easy-to-walk walking shoes and the installation of the digital stamp rally app "furari", why not visit Eiichi Shibusawa related spots in the 8 wards of Tokyo?
