Tsukishima Area

Tsukuda Image

Reclaimed land built in Edo, Meiji, Taisho era and Showa era
With future cities lined with high-rise buildings,
Area where alleys full of downtown atmosphere are mixed

The Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Toyomi-cho, and Harumi areas were reclaimed from the Edo period to the Meiji, Taisho era, and Showa eras, and are an artificial island 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 have the atmosphere of downtown areas everywhere, and I feel nostalgic. On the other hand, redevelopment is progressing rapidly, 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 around the world as an athlete village at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, facilities that reuse 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, the development of multi-mobility stations has been promoted, and attempts to utilize the waterside for a further future have been inherited.

  • Tsukuda

    Tsukuda was named Tsukuda Island because it was built by 34 fishermen who descended to Edo according to village headman Magoemon Mori of Tsukuda Village, Nishinari County, Settsu Province. 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 display of houses in March 1967 (1967).

  • Tsukishima

    This area was created by landfills that took place over more than 20 years since 1887 (1887). It was named by a resolution of the Tokyo City Council at that time because there was a famous moon viewing spot called the Moon Cape in Tokyo Bay.

  • Kachidoki

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

  • Toyomi-cho

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

  • Harumi

    In July 1937 (1937), Harumi-cho 1-chome to 6-chome were established. The name of the town was determined by the ward assembly (Kyobashi Ward) at the time based on the hope of "always looking for a sunny sea", and it 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.
