In Kanbun 4 (1664), a vegetable sales floor was set up on the Kyobashi River, which has good water transportation. After that, until the market was moved to Tsukiji in 1935, it prospered as a green market that supports the kitchen of the common people of Edo, which handles fruits and vegetables widely, called "Kyobashi Daikon Riverside". Just under the elevated capital between Ginza and Kyobashi, there is a stone monument at the site of the Kyobashi Daikon Riverside Vegetable Market. Nearby are historical sites such as the birthplace of Edo Kabuki.

In 2014, the birth of "Kyobashi Daikon Riverbank" celebrated the 350th anniversary. The Kyobashi Daikon River Bank celebrates the 350th anniversary, and for two years from June 2012, the radish will be distributed free of charge to 350 people once a month until 2016 when Tsukiji Market moves to Toyosu. This month, a free radish distribution party was held at Kyobashi Daikon Riverside Park from noon on September 11 (Fri).
In addition to radish from Mount Yotei, Hokkaido, we distributed cabbage from Gunma Prefecture, pears from Fukushima Prefecture, and sudachi from Tokushima Prefecture.
All the vegetables distributed are very popular because they are excellent in freshness sent directly to the market selected by Tsukiji professionals. This free distribution event starts at noon on the second Friday of every month. Long lines can be made every month, so if you want it, it seems important to visit early.
