Tokyo Midtown Yaesu
Tokyo Midtown Yaesu March 10, 2023 Grand Opening is a hot topic
Various commercial facilities such as the restaurant hotel bus terminal office have become a hot topic.
It's still quiet on March 8 just before the opening.
One of the topics, "Chuo Ward Joto Elementary School," a public elementary school enters a high-rise building.
I hear this is my first time.
The new school building is located on the 1st to 4th floors of the lower floors near Chuo-dori, just in front of a building with 45 floors above ground and a height of 240 meters.
He seems to be moving in, and the schoolyard is located on the roof and has an open and closed roof, so it can be used even in rainy weather.
(Because it is not included inside, it is information on the website.)
It's the entrance on the first floor.
During the construction, I lived at Sakamoto Elementary School in Kabuto-cho.
Joto Elementary School also has a history, and the old school building seems to have been built as a reconstruction elementary school in front of Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station.
In contrast, I would like to pay attention to the 240-meter building (currently the tallest building in Chuo-ku, Tokyo).
Located in a part and very modern Joto Elementary School is located in Chuo Ward, while walking along the previous Sotobori-dori St. toward Ginza.
"Yabuki Elementary School in Chuo Ward" is located in Ginza 5-chome, just about 15 minutes away.
This "Chuo-ku Yasuaki Elementary School" school building was built in 1929 (1929) and is nearly 100 years old! !
The entrance of Yasuaki Elementary School.
The school building is robust based on the lessons learned from the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and has survived air raids.
It seems that there are many celebrities who have graduated here.
On the plate, it is written as "Building Year 1929 (1929)".
Beside the entrance is Yanagi Nisei in Ginza.
Akashi Elementary School near St. Luke International Hospital in Chuo-ku was requisitioned by the U.S. military after the war, so this Yasuaki Elementary School was also used.
You may not have been aired for requisition.
(The area around Tsukiji, Akashicho, Ginza and Hibiya seems to have survived the war.)
By the way, when I thought that Ginza Wako Building was the same age, I found that the construction was suspended due to the effects of the Great Kanto Earthquake.
It was completed in 1932 (Showa 7), so it's a little young.
