Those who know that the birthplace of postal mail is the location of the Nihonbashi Post Office.
Are there many? I think so.
It is introduced in this way on the website of Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

The other day, I observed Nihonbashi Post Office carefully from outside.
First of all, next to the entrance of the Nihonbashi Post Office, it is described as the birthplace of Dekato mail.
The real thing is quite large.
Next, I wondered where Maejima's bronze statue was, and when I looked for it, I found it along the way.
Well, this is also good.
However, with this alone, it is just a story to look at the website of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.
So I looked into this bronze statue
Behind the statue
"Baron Maejima's life
The statue of Mioyuki, a supplementary casting
March, 1937
Tomiyasu Aida,"
It can be seen that this statue was repressed and casted in March 1937.
But next to the statue stands,
"To commemorate the 90th anniversary of the founding of Postal Service
April 20, 1962
Nihonbashi Association
Maejima Association
Nihonbashi Post Office Cooperation Association
There is a description.
If so, it can be seen that there is a difference of 25 years between the statue and its table.
What did the bronze statue do for 25 years? Did you fly around with mail? It's a mystery.
By the way, in front of this statue, there was Taraha.
It seems that this is the etymology of the postcard.
Finally, outside the Nihonbashi Post Office, there is another one commemorating the 100th anniversary of the establishment of postal mail.
Please check with your eyes what it is.
The tip is "mail connects the world."
There are various discoveries when you stop your feet in a familiar place.
Well, where shall we stop next?
