Introduction of Kurakake Bridge Located in Kodemmacho

[Silver] 18:00 on December 2, 2017

 Walking around the city, returning from Takemori Shrine when it's hot in summer.

And recently, when I passed near "Iseshige" in Kodemmacho, famous for sukiyaki.

I went to an intersection with a traffic light called "Kurakake Bridge". I guess there was a horse, and if I hung a saddle there, I thought it would be a place where there was a legend that I was fine or that the wind and rain had subsided, but it was different!

 There was a kind person who gave an explanation in the planting near the intersection.

According to the report, the name of Kurakake Bridge is derived from the name of Kurakake Bridge.

"In the beginning of Edo, Temmacho is the place where Denma Station is responsible, so-called Otemmacho is a luggage station, and Kodemmacho is a human station, and both towns have been pursuing tradition and prosperity. It was the key to connecting to Bakurocho after Kurakake Bridge. This bridge was often called a horse of horses and a saddle of Hakuro, so it is probable that this name was given.

In other words, it was a key point of Denma Station and transportation. It is also such a relationship that there were many baskets nearby. Sentence: From the history of Nihonbashi Ninobe-chokai, the original text remains."
