New Year - Kodemmacho The Bell of Time

You can listen to the sound of "The Bell of Time" in Jisshi Park in Kodemmacho twice a year on New Year's Eve and the anniversary of the end of the war.

Projection mapping has begun this year, and the walls of Jushi Square in a quiet park have become gorgeous.

I tell you the New Year

New Year to Tell New Year - Kodemmacho The Bell of Time

"Bronze Bell Kokumachi The Bell of Time" was located in Kokumachi (around present Nihonbashimuromachi) during the Edo period, and people were able to know the time with the sound of the bell. A fine bell with a height of 170cm and a diameter of about 93cm is now located in this relocated park. When I went around 11:30 and got the bill in the order of bell ringing, No. 280, about 300 people were waiting for the New Year.

During the Edo period, thereYoshida Shoin and other late Tokugawa shogunate men also died here. It was also the bell to inform the execution. The sound of the bell that Shoin heard last resonated now with the sound of prayer for the future.
