Tsukiji Area

Landfill (Tsukiji) facing the Sumida River
Areas deeply involved in the development of culture

"Tsukiji" is a place where you can feel the trajectory of economic and cultural transition from Edo to Tokyo. Hatchobori was a place of power and concentric residence in magistrate's office, Edomachi, called Hatchobori's husband in the Edo period. In Akashicho, a foreign settlement was set up in 1869 (1869), and developed as a window for Western culture.

The Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, a nationally designated special scenic spot and special historic site, still retains the characteristics of the daimyo garden of the Edo period, and many people visit throughout the four seasons as a scenic urban oasis.

On the site of the adjacent Tsukiji Market, a multi-functional stadium that can accommodate 50,000 people and a plan to develop MICE facilities were announced, and while transmitting the Tsukiji brand, which has become the area around the area, it has a wide-area transportation node function Maintenance will be promoted.

The origin and present of Tsukiji
Tsukiji is the location of the Chuo-ku government office. The place name "Tsukiji" is derived from the fact that the land was built by reclaiming Edo Minato during the relocation and reconstruction of Honganji. Tsukiji Market, located right next to Tsukiji Honganji Temple, moved to Toyosu in 2018 (2018), but it has been bustling as before, such as the Tsukiji Outer Market and the perishable market "Tsukiji Fish Bank".

  • Shintomi

    It was named together the "new" of Shin-Shimabara, which flourished as a flower town at the beginning of the Meiji era, and the "rich" of Otomicho, which had been around since the Edo era. Morita-za (later Shintomiza) advanced to this area, and it was the center of theater until Kabuki-za was later formed.

  • Incoming vessels

    Since there was the Irifune River on the west side of the town, it was named Irifunecho, and it was entered by the display of the house in January 1971 (1971). In the early Meiji era, there was a military shoe manufacturing factory "Ise Katsuzo Shoeground", but after moving out, it has continued to this day as a small and medium-sized business town.

  • Minato

    In the Edo era, a large ship carrying luggage from various places prospered as Edo Minato, which unloads luggage, and it seems to have become Minatomachi. It became Minato due to the indication of the house in January 1971 (1971). It is a town facing the Sumida River, and flourished as a key point for waterway transportation until the middle of the Meiji era.

  • Akashicho

    It is said that a fisherman from Akashi in Banshu (Hyogo Prefecture) emigrated to this area during the Edo period, and that the scenery resembled Akashiura. Known as the site of a foreign settlement, it is a town with a glimpse of the exotic atmosphere lined with St. Luke's International Hospital, churches, and Western-style buildings.

  • Tsukiji

    When it was reclaimed after the Great Fire of the Meiryaku era (1657), it was literally Tsukiji because it was a land built on the coast. Nishi Honganji Temple Betsuin moved here and gathered the religion of Toto. At the time of the Shogunate's warship training center, naval-related facilities have been concentrated since entering the Meiji era. Also, after the earthquake, the fish shore moved here and today it has become synonymous with Tsukiji.

  • Hatchobori

    It is derived from the name of a waterway created to carry goods to Edo Castle and keep large boats attacking the castle away from approaching, and its length was Yachimachi (about 872m), so Yachimachi (cho) It was called moat. In the Edo period, homes of power and concentric were gathered.

  • Shinkawa

    Since the excavation that was excavated during the Manji period (1658-1661) was called Shinkawa, it is thought that this name was named the town name. Previously, it was divided into three areas: Echizen moat, Reigishijima, and Shinkawa. In Shinkawa, sake wholesalers were concentrated from the Edo period to before the war, and its remnants still remain today.

  • Hamarikyu Gardens

    When it was Tokugawa's annex, it was called Hamagoten, and in 1870 (1870), a stone Western-style building Yan Liao-kan was built in the Imperial Household Ministry at the end of the Tokugawa period. In 1870 (1870), it was renamed Hamarikyu when it belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After that, it was transferred to Tokyo, and it was established as a street name when the house was displayed in July 1966 (1966). Today, this garden has been designated as a national scenic spot and special historic site as the only existing Shioiri garden.
