Tsukiji Area Tsukiji Area

It was named after the "new" of Shin-Shimabara, which flourished as a flower district at the beginning of the Meiji era, and the "wealth" of Otomicho, which had existed since the Edo era. Morita-za (later Shintomi-za) entered this area, and it was the center of theater until Kabuki-za was established.

Because there was the Irifune River on the west side of the town, the name of Irifunecho was given, and the ship 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 Shoe Factory", but after moving out, it has been today as a small and medium-sized enterprise town.

In the Edo period, large ships carrying luggage from various places flourished as Edo Minato, where luggage was unloaded, so it seems to have become Minatomachi. It became Minato due to the display of houses in January 1971 (1971). It is a town overlooking the Sumida River, and flourished as a key point for waterway transportation until the middle of the Meiji era.

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

It was reclaimed after the great fire of the Meiryaku era (1657), and became Tsukiji because it was literally built on the coast. Here, Nishi Honganji Temple's branch temple moved to gather the religion of Toto. At the time of the Shogunate's warship training station, various naval facilities were concentrated since the Meiji era. In addition, after the earthquake, the fish shore moved here, and today it has become a synonym for Tsukiji.

It is derived from the name of a waterway created to carry supplies to Edo-jo Castle and prevent large ships attacking the castle from approaching, and its length was eight towns (approximately 872m). It was called moat. In the Edo period, Yoriki and concentric homes were gathered.

The excavation excavated during the Manji period (1658-1661) was called Shinkawa, so it is thought that this name was used as the town name. Previously, it was divided into three parts: Echizen moat, Reigishima, and Shinkawa. Shinkawa has a concentration of sake wholesalers from the Edo period to the prewar period, and it still retains its remnants.

When it was a villa of Tokugawa, it was called Hama Goten, and in 1870 (1870), a stone Western-style building Nobu Liaokan 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 the Imperial Household. After that, it was transferred to Tokyo, and was established as a town name when the house was displayed in July 1966 (1966). Today, this garden is designated as a national scenic spot and a special historic site as the only existing Shioiri garden.
