Shinkawa was once said to be Reigishi Island.
Chuo-ku is called "Codesho" and the Geographical Survey Institute is called "Tideshojo", but the name we have been used to since childhood is "Ringishijima Teshiosha". You can search for the difference on the Internet, and this time, let me use various names you are familiar with.
In the next sentence left by the elder of the town council, you can see the old state.
"A small mortar-painted hocola-like building protrudes into the river is the "Reigishima Teshiosha", which was opened in 1890. Every day, the tide was surveyed, and it was published in the newspaper's weather forecast column under the heading "Tokyo Bay" or "Tsukiji". ]
Next is my question.
I was wondering why "Reigan Island?", But that was also described.
"At the time of the third shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, landfill work on the swamps east of Hatchobori was started, and Reigishiji Temple was erected. For this reason, the whole of Shinkawa today was collectively referred to as Reigishi Island. ] I was satisfied with that.
The flowers are beautiful around Komugo.
The name of the name was relocated to the current location in 2006, but there is no explanation just because there is "Let's cherish the benchmark" in the back. For this reason, we asked the Geographical Survey Institute to install an explanation board.
In 2009, we invited a 4th grader from Akimasa Elementary School as a ceremony and taught us the role of signing and how to survey.
The fact that at that time, "The height of Mount Fuji is also based on this embarrassment." still remains impressive.
It is said that the altitude of the Japan Standard Field in the front yard of National Diet Building is determined by surveying from here.
The relationship between the crossing and the tide center is very difficult, so please read the commentary on the Chuo Ward Cultural Properties and the Geographical Survey Institute's website.
On June 3, last year, there was a ceremony to present a certificate of appreciation for meritors on "Survey Day". .
The Koshiichi Women's Department received a letter of appreciation from the Geographical Survey Institute that the flowerbed was beautiful.
Notice Until May 23, it is not beautiful because it is "replanted to summer flowers".
The Shinkawa is surrounded by rivers on all sides.
Shinkawa begins when you follow Yaesu Street toward Chuo-ohashi Bridge and cross Kameshima Bridge.
It is an area surrounded by the Sumida River, Nihonbashi River, and Kamejima River, centering on Akimasa Elementary School and Echizenbori Park.
A row of ginkgo trees on Yaesu Street
It's the beginning of April. When the potted ginkgo leaves of my home were born, the rows of ginkgo trees on Yaesu Street were already enjoying spring. This potted ginkgo is a large ginkgo child in the school grounds of Akimasa Elementary School.
Ginkgo in the schoolyard remained unburned in that war and was watching over the school, so when I rebuilt Akimasa Elementary School, I cut the branches and raised teachers and children in cutting. And it came to my home too.
Now that it is in late April, Yaesu Street has become a splendid ginkgo tree.
And azaleas bloom beautifully in the center of the road.
Minami Takahashi, which is always beautiful
Come from Yaesu Street and go right in front of Chuo-ohashi Bridge to see Minami Takahashi.
As you know, Minami Takahashi is a bridge created by relocating the central part of the former Ryogoku Bridge, which was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake.
It is said that it is the second oldest existing steel bridge in the Meiji period.
The next time you pass through Minami Takahashi, look up and look around.
You may feel romance and history.
Tokufune Inari Shrine
The small Inari shrine near Minami Takahashi is Tokufune Inari Shrine.
It is said that the body was carved by cutting Miyoshi, a balloon of Tokugawa's play boat. It was enshrined near Sakae Bridge as a guardian deity of the town in 1931 as a guardian deity of the town, but it seems that the body was burned down by the Tokyo air raid earlier . However, volunteers in the town reproduced the shrine near the original Sakae Bridge in 1954.
This Sakae Bridge was also lost due to the bridge construction of Chuo-ohashi Bridge, but in 1991, it was transferred to Minami Takahashi. There have been repeated relocations, but now the members of the Koichi Town Association are cleaning the morning and evening and doing Reisai Festival in November.
