The birthplace of Ginza

"Ginza" is a place called "XX Ginza" throughout the country, and is also a synonym for the prime location. In the first place, the origin of the name goes back to the Edo period. "Ginza" is a shogunate institution that governs the casting and cracking down on silver and silver coins against Kinza, which handles gold coins (koban) in the Edo period, and was founded in Fushimi in 1601 (1601). It was also established in Suruga in 2011, Fushimi Ginza was moved to Kyoto in 2013, and Suruga Ginza was moved to Shinryogaecho in Edo in 2017 (now Ginza 2-chome). This is the origin of the place name of Ginza. Later, Ginza moved to Nihonbashikakigaracho (now Nihonbashi Ningyocho 1-chome) and continued until the Mint was established in 1869 (1869). The town name "Ginza" was officially adopted from 1869 (1869).
