The Chuo-ku Tourism Test is a local test that anyone can take while having fun. The official text, "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", contains many walking courses, and it is a recommended book that can be used as a guidebook for walking around the town, even if you do not want to take or pass the test. With this book in hand, looking at the monuments and explanatory boards on the roadside that had passed casually until now, you can open the door to history from Edo to Tokyo. It's fun to take a walk. ※I feel that there are individual differences in the effect.

The local certification became a boom for a while, but the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification was conducted for the first time in the 23 wards of Tokyo, and is the only certification that continues today. One of the reasons why the Chuo-ku Tourism Test maintains the number of examinees and continues for a long time is the benefits to successful applicants. If you pass, you will receive a "Oedo Chuo-ku" street certificate with your name, and you will also receive original goods. After that, applicants can register as a sightseeing volunteer and use the knowledge they have learned to act as guides and interpreters for walking around the town. If you become a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, you will be able to expand your range of activities, such as helping at events in the city and sending information on this correspondent blog.

The chance is once a year. The next test will be held on February 9, next year. Currently, applications are being accepted, but since the capacity system is on a first-come, first-served basis, those who wish to take the test should apply as soon as possible.

"Doboku's Radio (abbreviated Doboraji)" is a radio program of Chuo FM that develops talks centered on civil engineering. Under the concept of “Infrastructure Variety,” visitors can enjoy each time, including episodes when the subway was opened for the first time in Japan, underground project on the Metropolitan Expressway around Nihonbashi, and the secret story of the birth of dam cards popular among enthusiasts.

Familiar with the ending "Doboraji finished, good!" 。 This pointing confirmation, which is performed to prevent accidents, is an indispensable procedure at civil engineering work sites. Come together.

I've noticed it as a doborazilister since the start of broadcasting. The number of programs has increased since this fall.

It is a cloth that does not lack the elements of Chuo-ku sightseeing certification. Doboraj is full of tips to learn about Chuo-ku!

This is the second time that Doborazi has been based on the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification since May 2019. This time, it is a broadcast with guests from the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, which hosts the certification. For those who act as correspondents, they are usually taken care of, so I personally have to sit down in front of the radio and listen to it. Naturally, the content of the question should be absolutely secret, but I would like to listen to the words spoken by the organizers about the Chuo-ku Tourism Test and take a new determination to aim for the pass next year's test. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of story you can listen to.

The next broadcast will be on December 18th (Wednesday)! Look at it!
