A part of the current Tsukuda 1-2 chome is a natural tidal flat formed at the mouth of the Sumida River, originally called Ishikawajima and Tsukuda Island.
The origin of the name is that Mr. Ishikawa, who served as the `` boatman '' during the Edo period, worshiped Sunoshima and set up a residence, and a fisherman from Tsukuda Village, Settsu Country worshiped the tidal flat south of Ishikawajima and created an island. It is reported that he emigrated.
Ishikawajima in the early Meiji era merged with Tsukuda Island. Completed Shin-Tsukuda Island in 1896. Due to the enforcement of the post-war Housing Indication Law, the former Tsukudajima was Tsukuda 1-chome, the original Ishikawajima was Tsukuda 2-chome, the surrounding Shin-Tsukudajima Nishimachi 1,2-chome Tsukuda 2-chome, and the Shin-Tsukudajima Azumacho 1,2-chome was Tsukuda 3-chome. Has been changed.

Water is also sprayed during the hot summer months along with the planting trees.
Cleaning of alleys and roads, greening and moisturizing based on ingenuity in narrow spaces.
I hear that nature and crime prevention and helping each other are also born.
Tsukuda Island has been functioning as a fishing village until the 1950s, and water demand is strong. In addition, "Omote Kitchen" has remained for a long time in connection with the site layout inherited from the early modern era, and wells have maintained their importance as a source of domestic and miscellaneous water even after the water supply was laid. Old stone irrigation tubs now used as flower pots, former indoor wells for family business, and still existing hand-pump-type (joint) outdoor wells ...
You can experience how time flows slowly.
