Takaramachi and Lottery Dream Hall

[Silver] January 6, 2011 08:30

  Chuo-ku is full of treasures! I went to Takaramachi to walk along a road I had never walked before.

Before that, we examined the origin of the name of Takaramachi on the website of Chuo-ku about the origin of the name of the town.

 In 1931, by the idea of Hikokichi Nakazawa, a happy name was selected and given.
(Mr. Nakazawa) ※ A businessman in Meiji period. "In 1892, I was elected as a member of the House of Representatives and at the same time became a member of the Tokyo City Council." 

Hey, that's right. But now it doesn't remain as a place name. Resurrection hopesign01

 

 A little west of Toei Subway Takaracho Station, the street heading north is antique street.

Immediately after entering the street, there is a shop called Mayuyama Ryusen-do, which sells Tenmoku bowls.

Turn left at Kouyama's corner and you will find the "Lottery Dream Hall". There is also a lottery lottery here.

 

When you enter the museum, you will find photos and panels that introduce the history of the lottery.

 The lottery was sold for the first time. 10 yen per sheet. The first class is 100,000 yen. 

It's also interesting to find out about the value of money at that time.
