A book written by a landlady (Kie Shiga), who opened a small restaurant on his own from a place where he had no experience in water sales and developed it to be called a famous restaurant ("Ningyocho Saketei Kikuya Prosperity Report" Soshisha; 2001).
Shiga initially wanted to open a store along the Metro Hibiya Line (around 1975), and considered several station squares, but said, `` If the flow of people is in a certain direction, it is difficult to welcome the second turn customer. It's difficult to meet, and the town is perfect to return from the station, where the puppets come out at the station, where the puppets come out at once. It would have been a good point of view for an amateur.
However, Ningyocho used to be one of the best places in Tokyo, but now it is a little difficult to classify it as a "platter".
Saiden Stecker stated in "Rising Tokyo (Rising Tokyo)" (original book 1990) as follows (translated by Tetsuo Anzai).
＞The Taisho era was a period of great change anyway. The venue will also change significantly. There is a record of investigating the prime location of Tokyo in 1929, but ...
The names listed in this survey are Ginza, Shinjuku, Ueno, Asakusa, Shibuya, Ningyocho and Kagurazaka, but now there are no people who list Ningyocho and Kagurazaka as representative places in Tokyo.

Ningyo-cho was very lively during the Meiji era, but has continued to decline after the earthquake. Most of the old Nihonbashi Ward was once the center of Edo townspeople's culture that both themselves and others recognized, but they all followed the same fate. Even in Ningyocho, it is a great place to explore the features of the old downtown, but in terms of gathering people, it is not comparable to that of Shinjuku. （40）
Ningyocho was lively in Meiji and has been in decline since the earthquake. So has most of the old Nihombashi Ward, the recognized center of mercantile Edo. Ningyocho is as good a place as any to go in search of the mood and flavor of the old Low City, but it is not the smallest competition with a place like Shinjyuku in the matter of drawing crowds.

＞The most popular vaudeville in Tokyo was Suehirotei, which was located in Ningyocho, Nihonbashi, but the number of customers gradually decreased, and it will be closed in 1970. Ningyocho still retains some of the remnants of Nihonbashi in the past, but it is no longer a prime place for the past. Unlike the nearby Meijiza, Suehirotei escaped the war. Immediately after the war, it looked as if it was trying to bring back the bustle of the past by beckon the town of Nihonbashi over the entire burning field. （153）
The most popular Yose theater in the city was for a time near the Sumida River in the Ningyocho district of Nihombashi. It closed, for want of a clientele, in 1970. Ningyocho, in which something of old Nihombashi yet survives, is not the bustling place it once was.
It escaped the bombings, though the Meijiza, to the east, did not. In the years just after the war it seemed to beckon across the waters to western Nihombashi, where big business and finance resided, as if asking it to come home again.
In addition, Shiga says about the neighborhood of Ningyocho, `` As a place name, if you look at the old map, the names of former Osakacho, Sakaimachi, and the Kansai area are listed, and there is a textile wholesaler in Horidome. Considering that, it is the center of Edo, but I feel that the smell of Kansai is strong. " I agree with you. I felt that way shortly after walking through Nihonbashi.
