The first light
in Japan was on November 1, 1882, in Ginza, Japan.
It was just 135 years ago ().
At that time, many people gathered to see this "arc lamp" at a glance at the brightness, and it seems that it became a famous place in Ginza.
In commemoration of "Japan's first electric streetlight construction site", the Ginza Memorial Light was built on October 1, 1956 by people involved.
After that, this commemorative light was rebuilt several times, and the current one 
was restored last September.
The place is at the Ginza 2-chome intersection
where Chuo-dori and Ginza Marronnier Street intersect (red place in the map above).
The four stores that make up this intersection are the top four brands of Bulgarian, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Cartier.
The wall facing Ginza Marronnier Street of Cartier's shop is fitted with an "Electrical Light Pole Monument".
