On the way to Ginza from Shintomi-cho, you can find a guide plan that conveys the memory of <Mitsuhashi> just near the entrance of Kyobashi on the Metropolitan Expressway.
If you read the text quietly raised beside [Ginza Lafinate] (formerly Kyobashi Kaikan), you can see that this area was surrounded by rivers.
If you like history novels, you may know, but it is described in detail as the stage of Shotaro Ikenami's novel "Onihei Criminal Book" Vol. 9 "Koiko no Sato".
[Mitsuhashi] Please refer to Sharaku Sai's blog dated September 24 for the history of the museum. There is a history here in Chuo-ku <24>
What I would like to introduce is [Ginza Rafinate] (former Kyobashi Kaikan) located here.
On the first basement floor, there is a shop called "Mitsuhashi" with a name that conveys history. It's a very calm shop, so please drop in.
In addition, there is another monument beside the entrance on the first floor of [Ginza Raffinate], which conveys the historical facts. In the first place, this building is related to NTT. Originally, where the Kyobashi telephone office was located, right?
This is the first place in Japan where automatic telephone exchanges took place in 1926. It may not be possible to imagine during the heyday of mobile phones, but at that time it boasted a novel facility where machines connected telephone lines without going through the hands of operators.
By the way, the old name used to be "Shiraoibashi" is left in the name of the tollgate and parking lot on the expressway, and you can remember the past. Please let me know if you know the origin of the older name of Shiraoibashi, "Ushi no Kusabashi".
As I mentioned earlier, in the past, there were things like Tsuchihashi and Takebashi that left the appearance of the bridge in the name of the bridge, so did Kusahashi leave the grass growing in that name? Whether the cow is an animal or because it was in the direction of the Ox from the castle ... the interest deepens.
In both the modern era, the modern era and the modern era, they show various faces ... It is one of the charms of Chuo-ku.
[Reference] The left is an old map of the neighborhood. You can see the three bridges facing each other. (Quoted from the Owari-ya version cut-out picture)
The Kyobashi River comes from the left and the Sakuragawa River goes out to the right. Sakuragawa has its name in [Sakuragawa Park] near Hatchobori Station.
