Nihonbashi (Osaka)

　I introduced Kyobashi (Osaka) earlier, but there is also Nihonbashi in Osaka. However, the reading is "Nipponbashi". 　Yasaburo Ikeda (I don't know much about the younger generation today, but Keio University professor and talent professor Hashiri from Ginza) says that Nihonbashi in Tokyo is "Nihonbashi" and Osaka is "Nihonbashi" in Tokyo is "Nihonbashi" in the beginning, and "Nihonbashi" was the basis for the subsequent development of the surrounding area. 　Nihonbashi in Osaka used to be an electronics store street along with Akihabara in the east, but recently it seems to be pushed by a major Tokyo mass retailer.

Kyobashi (Osaka City)

　The place name "Kyobashi" in Chuo-ku, Tokyo may have been derived from the name of the bridge on Chuo-dori (Tokaido), which used to be built over the Kyobashi River.　Kyobashi Ward in Tokyo was established in 1978 (Meiji 11), and in 1947 (Showa 22), it was used as a ward name until it merged with Nihonbashi Ward and became Chuo-ku. It seems that it is often used as an area name in addition to the place name. 　The Kyobashi River was reclaimed in 1959 (Showa 34), and the Kyobashi (bridge) was also removed, leaving only the balustrade main pillar as a monument. 　On the other hand, the Kyobashi (bridge) in Osaka still serves as a bridge.　It spans the Neya River (Furu Yamato River) at the end of the Kyobashi exit of Osaka Castle.
