Deep Chuo-ku "Kaikan Edition"

[May rain George] Nov. 4, 2017 14:00

There are various "XX Halls" in Chuo Ward. Of course, there are many buildings owned by one company, but many of them are operated and managed by the central organizations of Japanese industry organizations.


Above all, there are two worrisome halls near the company where I work.


(1) Weight House
 If you look along Kiyosubashi Street from Meijiza toward Kiyosubashi, you will see the sleeve sign of "Weightlifting Hall". Previously, there was "Nihonbashi Weight Club" on the second floor of an old building with "Other Benya" on the first floor, but it is not currently used, and the sleeve signboard seems to be a remnant.

(2) Japan Margarine Hall
 This building is owned by the All Japan Margarine Association (general incorporated association) and includes the Nippon Shokuhin Oil and Oil Inspection Association (public interest incorporated foundation).

In addition, there are "XX Kaikan" in various industries in Chuo Ward. For example, if you look at food-related issues alone, there are soy sauce hall, milling hall, Tokyo Nori hall, and amino acid hall.

When walking around the city of Chuo-ku, why don't you pay attention to the name of the building? Finding unexpected facilities and encountering interesting names can also be one of the pleasures of strolling.
