Recommended Ningyocho Walking Course
Ningyocho has been posted many times on this blog, but I would like to introduce a recommended walking course for first-time visitors.
1.Daikanonji Temple
Erected in 1880
"Ogannonji" instead of "Daikannonji".
Tangible Cultural Property designated by Tokyo in 1972
The head statue of a giant iron Kannon is enshrined.
"Tetsuzo Bodhisattva Head" is not something you can always see, and is opened on the 17th of every month.
Surprisingly, it is not known that there is the benefit of "child treasure"
2.Karakuri Ogura
Born in November 2009
"Town fire extinguisher Karakuri Ogura" (height 7m55cm)
On the Suitengu side, "Edo Rakugo Karakuri Ogura" (height 6m50cm)
Every day from 11:00 to 19:00 every hour, about 2-3 minutes of Karakuri is developed.
With a production full of Edo atmosphere, it will delight the eyes of passers-by.
3.The site of Kakigara Ginza
Ginza is a government office that manufactures and inspects silver coins during the Edo period.
Originally, Ginza in Edo was placed in the current Ginza 2-chome in 1612.
Due to fraud, it was abolished, and it was restarted here at Ningyocho 1-chome.
Since the place name at that time was Kakigara-cho, people called Kakigara Ginza.
It lasted for 69 years until the new government Mint was established in 1869 (1869).
4.amazake Yokocho
A shopping street about 400m that leads to Meijiza
It is said that in the early Meiji era, there was a sweet liquor store called "Owari-ya" near the entrance of the street.
"Morinoen"
Japanese tea specialty store founded in 1914 (1914)
You can purchase sweets made from home-roasted hojicha, green tea, and hojicha.
On the second floor, there is a sweet shop where you can enjoy "Hojicha Parfait".
"Futaba,"
A long-established tofu shop founded in 1907.
This is the only place where you can drink amazake at amazake Yokocho.
"Soy milk donut" and "Jumbo Ginkgo Cancer" are also popular menu items.
"Yanagiya,"
A taiyaki restaurant that has been in business for more than 100 years.
Together with "Wakaba" in Yotsuya and "Nanaya Sohonten" in Azabujuban.
It is known as Tokyo's three large taiyaki.
The charm is that it is clogged in a thin skin to the tip of the tail.

"Toritada"
Founded in 1925 as a wholesaler.
Yakitori and egg-yaki are a specialty of amazake Yokocho
"Parent and child ware" limited to 30 bottles a day. It contains trefoil and ground chicken meat
It's delicious even when cooled, and lasts a week long.
5.The statue of Benkei in the Kanjin Book
A landmark of amazake Yokocho
Since it was the birthplace of Kabuki, a statue of Benkei, a symbolic character, was built.
6."Kura no Akari,"
A cave retreat-like izakaya with a calm atmosphere
A spacious store with a total of 150 seats for up to 70 people
I recommend "Rolling Beef Rice Stew" cooked slowly for half a day.
Approximately 60 minutes course time
7.Shigemori's doll ware
Founded in 1917 (about 100 years), the president is the fourth generation.
Doll-yaki with adorable face of Seven Lucky Gods.
You can sell 3,000 pieces a day, and 10,000 pieces a day.
Seven Lucky Gods's face is shaped, but the doll-ware type is Rokufukujin.
The seventh God is the customer who bought it.
It was distributed at the 2012 Tokyo Marathon
8.Chanogi Shrine
One of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods. Hotei is also gaining faith.
This name was named because the tea tree wrapped around the shrine was wonderful.
Since no fire has occurred in the surrounding towns for many years, it is worshiped as the "God of Hibushi".
9.Jade
It is famous as the birthplace of Okodon.
A long-established store founded in 1760 (260 years of history)
Oyakodon made with rice cooker pots and chicken meat is exquisite and a line.
Lunch Oyakodon 1500 yen ~ Course dish 8800 yen ~
10.The birthplace of Junichirou Tanizaki
Novels "Love of Sluts", "Shunkotosho" and "Snow Snow"
At the lower right of the plate is "Matsuko-sho", but "Matsuko" is the wife of Junichiro.
The father ran a print printing shop, but sold it due to poor management.
Since the family business was not easy, he received financial assistance from his relatives and went to Tokyo Imperial University, but was unable to pay tuition fees and dropped out.
After that, he was praised by Kafu Nagai and made his literary debut.
He recalls his childhood when he spent his childhood in Nihonbashi Ningyocho during his childhood.
He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1958 and 1960.
He died in 1965 at the age of 79.
11.Ruins of Saigo Takamori mansion
He lived here for about two years before he returned to Kagoshima after losing the theory of conquering Korea in 1873. The large mansion, which was 2,600 tsubo, had 15 students, seven lower men, and several hunting dogs.
Saigo favored "Senbikiya" in Nihonbashi, and often ordered watermelons.
12.A store specializing in globes
It was located in Nihonbashi Muromachi until 2015, but moved in 2016.
Approximately 150 kinds of globes are exhibited. Large ones are from 80cm in diameter to the same as those used by the President in the White House. Conversely, small ones are made of 5cm diameter gemstones. Some floats with the popular talking globe and electromagnetic force.

As mentioned above, the course time is approximately 60 minutes.
Please enjoy walking around Ningyocho in autumn.
