stamp rally loves children. I've experienced 5 stamps from the Nihonbashi area with my son. In addition to simply collecting stamps, we will introduce you along with recommended stop-by spots so that you can enjoy it while touching local attractions, culture and history. Note: You don't have to collect stamps according to the number.

Click stamp rally from the "Motto Kana Edohaku" site. It is a "digital stamp rally" method that collects stamps on mobile phones, but since you can participate without downloading the app, you can easily start it. Because it is linked to Google Maps, you can get to where you want to go without hesitation! When you get to the destination, click "Press Stamp". Even if you close the screen, you can store stamps, so you can collect stamps in several days.

1, Nihonbashi

Nihonbashi, which was the starting point of the Gokaido during the Edo period, and is still the main sign of Japan Road, is the center of Edo. It is said that it was built in 1603, shortly after Ieyasu Tokugawa opened the Shogunate. The current bridge is a beautiful Renaissance-style double arch bridge that was built in 1911.

I would like you to pay attention to the letters "Nihonbashi" on the nameplate on the front pillar of the bridge. This was written by Yoshinobu Tokugawa, the last shogun of the Edo Shogunate. At that time, the mayor of Tokyo asked Nihonbashi to leave a remnants of Edo.

By the way, it was Eisaku Sato, then Prime Minister of the time, who wrote the letter "Japan Road Mark" embedded in Nihonbashi. You can see replicas in the northwestern Hashizume of Nihonbashi. (The real thing is on the street and cannot be visited.)

Drop-in spot

The address of Nihonbashi is 1-1 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku. Then, 1-1-1 Nihonbashi is the building of the Kokubun Group, a food wholesaler. Located on the first floor, Kokubun's select shop "ROJI Nihonbashi" is a recommended stop-by spot. Here, tidbits's "K & K Can Tsuma series" is lined up in a row.

Out of more than 60 types of "cans" series, there is an announcement of the popularity ranking every month. Last month, the first place smoke salmon Halas (470 yen), the second place moul shellfish steamed white wine style (570 yen), the third place domestic beef suji stewed (540 yen). My favorite is the honey mustard of thick sliced bacon, which was ranked 6th last month (550 yen). You can see the lineup of all attractive products here. Please try to find your favorites.

2. Bank of Japan's head office and money museum

The place where the Bank of Japan head office was located was called "Kanaza" in the Edo period. "Koza" is the place where gold coins were manufactured and sealed, and has led to the issuance of banknotes (banknotes), one of the current operations of the Bank of Japan. By the way, the place where silver coins were manufactured is called "Ginza", which is the origin of the current town name of "Ginza, Chuo-ku".

It's a great deal, so I'd like to see inside. You can visit the Bank of Japan by appointment, but you can visit the money museum across the street without reservation. And it's free!

At the Money Museum, you can learn about the history of money, along with a real money display. A pamphlet for children is prepared and there is also an experience corner, so it is easy for both adults and children to understand and interesting. Recommended spot even if you don't do stamp rally. There was something I really wanted to see here. That's the new 10,000 yen bill of the number A00002A! It is stored in the money museum. I wondered if it was on display in large scale, but it was in a surprisingly quiet place. There is no image inside the money museum because shooting is prohibited. Please try to find out where it is.

3. Fukutoku Shrine

Fukutoku Shrine is popular as a "power spot in Nihonbashi." It looks new because it became a new shrine hall with the redevelopment of Nihonbashi, but the history of this shrine is very old, and it was already around the 9th century, long before the Edo period. It was also listed as "Fukutoku Inari" in the "Edonoshita Town Restoration Map" at my parents' home! This area, which is lined with commercial facilities and office buildings, is crowded with people and cars, but only around Fukutoku Shrine, there is a green space and you can feel silence. I feel that the people who work nearby stopped and bowed, and that it has always been the base for the people of Nihonbashi. Since the lottery (the ancestor of the lottery) was issued during the Edo period, people who came to pray for the lottery and recently became a hot topic as a shrine for "Prayer for winning the concert ticket" because of the connection of "Prayer for winning the winning of the concert ticket" It is a slightly unique shrine. When you visit for the first time, you will be surprised that there is such a place in Nihonbashi.

4. Ukiyo Shoji

The road between Cored Muromachi and YUITO facing Fukutoku Shrine is Ukiyokoji. In the Edo period, this road was a dead end (Fukurokoji) that hit a moat. There was a famous restaurant called "Hyakukawaro" that also appeared in rakugo. At present, the moat is reclaimed and not a dead end, and there is no "Hyakukawaro". Instead, the commercial facility "Cored Muromachi" is built. The wine specialty store "Vinos Yamazaki" is located just on the 1st floor of COREDO Muromachi facing Ukiyokoji. I'd like you to stop by in between stamp rally.

Drop-in spot

"Vinos Yamazaki" is a wine specialty store where you can enjoy wine carefully selected by sommeliers and delicious meals at a reasonable price. The author's recommendation is excellent hot wine. Vinos Yamazaki hot wine, which boils down spices and citrus over a long time, has a wonderful taste and aroma of spices dissolved in red wine, and is a bit different from hot wines drunk at other stores. There are plenty of raisins to add sweetness, and it's fun to eat delicious raisins like rum raisins after drinking.

Hot wine can be taken out (500 yen). Hot wine that warms the cold body slowly. Drinking outside on cold winter days is more delicious than inside the store, so please enjoy stamp rally with a hot wine in hand.

5. The ruins of Koshodo

Koshodo is the store of Juzaburo Tsutaya, the main character of the Taiga drama series "Berabo" in 2025. I'm talking about a publisher and bookstore. In the Edo period, it was a longing to have a store in Nihonbashi. Shigesaburo moved a store from Yoshiwara (now Taito Ward) to Nihonbashiodenmacho in 1783, where yellow covers (kibishi: manga and picture books for adults), fashionable books (sharebon: novels), and Kyoka books. He sent hits one after another to the world. Shigesaburo's publications had a great influence on Edo culture, but unfortunately there is only a sign at the place where Koshodo was located.

Drop-in spot

The place you want to stop by is the "Ichimosu Tagen / Kimono Clinic & Kimono Wholesale Store Museum" (hereinafter referred to as "Ichimosu Tagen"), a 2-3-minute walk from the site of Koshodo. What a surprise, "Koshodo" is reproduced on the second floor of the store and released for free!

The reproduction of Koshodo, which was handmade from the ukiyo-e at that time, is as if it had slipped back in time during the Edo period. There are also copies of fashionable books that can be actually picked up and book corners related to Shigesaburo, as well as abacus and books from the Edo era to the Taisho era, which was left in Ichimosu Tagen, founded in the Edo era (1816). Valuable materials such as books are released as the "Kimono Wholesale Museum". This is a place where you want to take a long time to visit.
