On Monday, get off at Tsukishima Station, find Yumeji on Shin-Tsukuda Island and return home

"Shin-Tsukuda Island" once existed as the name of the town in Chuo-ku. At the current location of Tsukishima Subway Station, there was a Toden stop called Shin-Tsukuda Island.

During the Meiji Taisho era, along the seaside of Shin-Tsukuda Island, there was a Kappo cuisine Ryokan called Kaikaikan, which is said to have been visited by many celebrities. This scenic spot once could be seen in the direction of Boso. Toson Shimazaki wrote a novel called "Spring" here. It seems that Yumeji Takehisa is also visiting, but did you make any sketch?

Now, there is a stone monument reminiscent of that time, and you can search for the names of celebrities who visited Fujimura and Yumeji. There was a little park beside the stone monument, but dike stood up and could not face the water. Beyond dike is a canal rather than the sea, and beyond it is a landfill in Toyosu.

If you go along the terrace, you can walk on the other side of dike, so you can enjoy the urban waterside scenery that is different from that time.

On Tuesday, I learned that there is a shrine called Hokaze Shrine in Suitengu.

Suitengu is famous as the god of safe birth and child-rearing.

But not only that, Benzaiten,
　・Hifukaze Shrine (the god who controls fire and wind)
　・Takao Shrine (God in charge of rain)
　・Akiba-jinja Shrine (the god who controls fire)
I hear that there is subsidiary shrine.

On Wednesday, I go to Suitengu and look for Hokaze Shrine to worship

When I actually went there, there was certainly Hokaze Shrine.
・Suitengu Shrine and Takao Shrine are "water."
・Hifukaze Shrine and Akiba-jinja Shrine are "fire"
Is it an image?

It is quite interesting that the god who controls the water and the god of fire, which is the opposite, are within the same precincts.

By the way, in the total Hongu of Suitengu in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, "It seems that there is a Akiba-jinja Shrine, the general god of farming and literary arts, not the god of fire, is enshrined here.

There is also a Akiba-jinja Shrine in Taito Ward in Tokyo, but due to frequent fires in the early Meiji era, it was erected as a god of fire suppression at the current location of Akihabara Station and became the etymology of Akihabara.
By the way, enshrined deity
・Fire spirit Oga: The god of fire
・Haniyama Hiurijin: The god of the earth
・Water wave nourigami: The god of water
That's right.

On Thursday, I walked around Kiboricho, snostic ramen and returned home

Kobiki-cho reads "Kobikicho". It's a good sound. It used to be a street name from the Edo period, and is now incorporated into the street name of Ginza. On the back side of Kabukiza, there are many small and delicious shops on the back streets such as "Kibikicho-dori" and "Kibikicho Naka-dori".

I would like to eat such ramen with excitement, but recently I feel that such scenes have been decreasing due to "violation of manners" and "bad manners".

The way of eating "suru" is said to be a unique culture of Japan, and it is said that the roots of Edokko, who started eating soba with zuruzuru.

Like Edo kid, you eat zuruzuru and ramen in Kobiki-cho, Edo. Isn't it very good?

By the way, this ramen. Where do you want to eat?

That's a secret.

If you want to try it, let's eat the back street of Kibikicho.

On Friday, I stop by Kinharu Street and worry about taking a bath

8, Ginza. I wonder if the street behind Hakuhinkan is good. I haven't entered the "Kinharuyu" on Kinharu Street yet. I was worried today, but I stopped it.

This area is also a place where you can see many foreign tourists. Nearby, there is a small Toyo Iwaine Shiri Shrine between buildings, and it is interesting to go into a little sideway.

I don't think there are many people who can read this "Kinharu" as "Konparu". Kinharu is the Kinharu family in the Yotsuya of Kinharu, Kanze, Hosho, and Kongo of "Noh" in the Edo period.

Both Yotsuya had a mansion in the current Chuo-ku, but the origin of this street is that the Kinharu family's "Kinharu Yashiki" was located around the current Ginza 7-8 chome.

It is said that the mansion was relocated to other places in the middle of the Edo period, but after that, geisha and related parties settled down and called Kinharu Geisha, it became a entertainment district in late Tokugawa shogunate. Furthermore, in the Meiji era, Shimbashi Station was built nearby, and it developed as a flower district. It is said that Kinharuyu, which still remains today, was founded at the end of Edo.

This area is a valuable place that still retains the atmosphere of that time. So, if you want to experience the original Ginza, it's interesting to visit here at night. You may be able to experience the unique atmosphere of "Ginza at night" different from daytime.

On Saturday, I go to Tsuchihashi and I am convinced that it is not a bridge.

Tsuchihashi. It is the name of the intersection located in the direction of Ginza on Sotobori-dori St. from Shimbashi Station. Is it easier to understand to say that it is an intersection at the entrance of Ginza Corridor Street? It is also known as the place where the eccentric Shizuoka Shimbun-sha building is built.

The name of this intersection is derived from the fact that there was "Tsuchihashi", which used to be over the Shiodome River here.

Actually, I had a question about this "Tsuchihashi" before.

On the homepage of Chuo-ku, there is a page called "Bridges in the ward", and the bridges that are currently recognized in Chuo-ku are introduced in a list format. And for some reason, there is also the name "Tsuchihashi".

　◆Bridges in Chuo-ku, ward ⇒　★Here★

The Shiodome River, where this bridge was once built, was reclaimed during the Olympic Games in the Showa 30's, and on this website, it says "Hashimoto Situation ... - (No)" .

What?　Dobashi is no longer a bridge, isn't it?

So last spring, I contacted Chuo-ku about the reason why "Dobashi" was posted on this "Bridge in the Ward" page.

Then, I was prompted to contact Tokyo because this bridge was managed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government, so I contacted the Tokyo Daiichi Kensetsu Office.

Overall, the answer is
Tsuchihashi does not function as a bridge now, but due to the circumstances of adults, it seems that the system still remains a "bridge".

・・What's it? But I wonder if I can't help it.

So, about introduction on homepage of "bridge in ward" of this Chuo-ku, we introduce.
"There are some bridges in Chuo Ward that I don't understand well, such as" Dobashi ". "

In fact, when you go to this Tsuchihashi, you can see that the height of the road is not enough. From "GINZA9", which was built on the site of the former Shiodome River, it is a Kanji that looks up considerably at this "bridge". I guess he had buried the bridge as it was.

And the Ginza area from this bridge has a very good look. It's a little observation deck where you can comfortably see Ginza from Shimbashi.

On Sunday, I go to Nihonbashi and think one person might be a wing.

As you know, in the middle of Nihonbashi, there is a statue of Kirin. At the end of the Meiji era, this statue was built from the beginning of this Nihonbashi.

It is said that this Kirin statue was hoped for the prosperity of Tokyo City at the time of its completion, but what is unusual is that the wings are growing?

Nihonbashi has a "original mark" that is the starting point of Japanese roads, and from the image of "flying off" from the starting point of Nihonbashi, it seems that "wings" that are not seen in other Kirins.

Certainly, looking at the statue, there are two feathers in addition to the four legs.

Judging from the image of "flying off", as the title of Keigo Higashino's novel "Kirin no Tsubasa", I want you to be a "wing" where you can feel a dream, but actually "this wings What looks like is actually "fin", so it's a bit disillusioned.

Is it useless with "wings"?

Give me a little concession
"The wings in the shape of a fin,"
I think it's okay to say that, but after all,
"The wing-shaped fins,"
That's right.

Inevitably
　　Wings = birds = flies
　　Fin = fish = swim
Because there is an image that, if it is a "fin", this Kirin thinks "can you fly?" Oh, there are fish like flying fish, so I might be able to fly.

What is the actual image? I'm going to fly. Maybe I can fly.

It has a foot, so you can walk.

And with fins, you can swim.

I see.
Isn't this Kirin a "super Kirin" with three beats of flying, walking and swimming?

Nihonbashi was the starting point of a highway that could be reached all over the country, and at that time, the Nihonbashi River flowing under the bridge brought cargo from all over the country by water transport.

On the side of Nihonbashi, there was a fish market on the riverbank, so Nihonbashi is a fish. Therefore, the Kirin of Nihonbashi can swim all over the country.

When I thought about it, I gradually felt that "fins" would be good. But after all, "wings" are good.

By the way, now, there is a highway over this "Super Kirin", but since it will eventually be underground, the day when flying from Nihonbashi using "wings" is approaching.
