At the foot of the pedestrian bridge (Ginza Tokimeki Bridge) on the Ginza 7-chome intersection on Showa-dori, the remain excavated from the Shiodome ruins is displayed.

●Machiishi and cut stones (stones used for stone walls and earth retaining)

It was used in the stone groove (drainage facility) of the Daimyo residence.

●Chozubachi

Excavated from the upper residence of the Wakisaka family in Harima Tatsuno Domain (Hyogo Prefecture).  Characters such as "Consecration, Hadan fan crest (Haneuchiwamon), ○ Tsukiyoshi ○" are engraved.

　The Shiodome archeological site was excavated in accordance with the development plan of the Shiodome area in Minato-ku.
　It was reclaimed after the great fire of the Meiryaku era, and is the place where various clans set up their residences since the middle of the Edo period.
　Why are Machiishi and Chozubachi excavated from the Shiodome area of Minato-ku displayed under the Ginza Tokimeki Bridge, a little far away?
　I don't know that, but how to display each stone, such as how to place each stone, is very unique?
　It seems to be decorated as a kind of monument rather than historical materials.
　
　There is no place in the city where you can see remain, which was used in Samurai residence during the Edo period.
　I think it's worth a look.
