In a course, a lecturer told me that there was a sign of "Muromachi-dori" in a picture of the Echigo-ya Kyo main store in Kyoto ("Kyomoto pictorial map" from Mitsui Bunko's historical material), "Kyoto" There is also "Muromachi." This expression is strange. This is because the existence of Muromachi in Kyoto is (far) ahead, and Muromachi in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, should be (very) later naming.
You seem to get the word, but you are unconscious (even experts)? The mistake is that Osaka and Kyoto are advanced areas, and the late-developed areas, Edo, became able to compete with Kansai only after the late Edo period was quite late. Isn't it?
By the way, the origin of the place name of "Nihonbashimuro-cho" is described in the website of Chuo-ku "Origin of Place Name".
"There is a theory that it was followed by Muromachi in Kyoto and that there were many merchants, and that the storehouses (rooms) were lined up." According to Monoshiri Encyclopedia, "In 1931, Hikokichi Nakazawa's idea, he was chosen and named a happy name. "(173 pages) may not be possible.
However, at least the expression "Muromachi" in "Kyoto" would be strange.
