Tsukishima Area

Landfills built in Edo, Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras
A future city lined with high-rise buildings, and
Areas where alleys full of downtown atmosphere are mixed

The Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Toyomi-cho, and Harumi areas are reclaimed from the Edo era to the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras, and are artificial islands surrounded by the Sumida River and canals.

Unlike other areas, some areas have not been damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake or the Pacific War, and the alleys in the Tsukishima area still show the atmosphere of downtown and feel some nostalgia. On the other hand, redevelopment is rapidly progressing, and it is attracting attention as a waterfront zone, a future city with ultra-high-rise apartments.

A new town was born in the west district of Harumi 5-chome, which welcomed athletes from around the world as an athlete village at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, facilities that partially reused the nameplate as a legacy and some wood used at Village Plaza, Commemorative objects etc. are installed. Furthermore, in addition to full-scale operation of BRT and urban infrastructure using hydrogen energy, multi-mobility stations have been developed, and attempts to utilize the waterside in the future have been passed on.

  • Tsukuda

    Tsukuda was called Tsukuda Island because it was built by 34 fishermen who descended to Edo in accordance with village headman Magoemon Mori in Tsukuda Village, Nishinari-gun, Settsukuni (Osaka City). He had a close connection with the Shogunate and was given the right to operate freely in the waters near Edo. It became Tsukuda due to the indication of the house in March 1967 (1967).

  • Tsukishima

    It is an area formed by landfills that took place over more than 20 years from 1887 (1887). It was named by the resolution of the Tokyo City Counselor's Association at the time after there was a famous moon viewing spot called Tsuki no Misaki in Tokyo Bay.

  • Kachidoki

    It is a landfill completed from the Meiji era to the Taisho era, and is named after the Kachidoki ferry (ship) created in commemoration of the victory of the Russo-Japanese War from 1904 (1904) to 1906 (1906). Kachidoki is the voice of joy that you give when you win the battle.

  • Toyomi-cho

    It is a landfill completed in 1963 (1963), and the name of the town was selected from the questionnaire of residents. In addition to the harbor area, there are also fish frozen and refrigerated warehouses.

  • Harumi

    In July 1937 (1937), Harumi-cho 1-chome to 6-chome was established. The name of the town was determined by the ward council at that time (Kyobashi Ward) from the hope of "always looking at the clear sea", and became Harumi by the display of the house in 1965 (1965). Harumi Wharf Park, where you can see the sea, is popular as a place for residents to relax.
