"Miyuki Street"

[CAM] Nov. 3, 2015 18:00

 In this "Marugoto Museum" bus route, we explored a little bit of "Miyuki-dori" that crosses at Ginza 5-6 chome on "Sotobori-dori St." and "Showa-dori".

 

 Located at the border between Ginza 5-chome and 6-chome, Miyuki-dori connects Shimbashi Enbujo in Tsukiji with Hibiya Park in Yurakucho.
It is said that the name was derived from the fact that during the Meiji era Emperor Meiji went to the Naval Academy, Naval University, etc. (Miyuki) during the Meiji era, and when he entered Hamarikyu, this street was designated as a Yukichi route, so one day it was called Miyuki Street.

 Later, in the 1960s, young people who adopted Ibeelic gathered and walked around Miyuki Street, creating the name of the "Miyuki tribe". They were just hanging out, but from the conflict with the store side and the policy of avoiding confusion for the Tokyo Olympics, it evolved into a turmoil such as simultaneous elimination by the Tsukiji Police Station, and the name "Miyuki Street" became widely known along with the social phenomenon of "Miyuki tribe".
