Seven years after becoming a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, I received the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification three times, and even if I intend to know about the historical monuments of Chuo-ku, I realize that there are things that I overlook.
At Tsukiji 6-chome, along Harumi-dori St., which is crowded with shoppers at the end of the year, there was a monument to Hachikoichiu.
The Odawara Bridge Building on the Tsukiji Fish Bank can be said to be a side place facing Harumi-dori St. (map below

I must have passed in front of you many times...
In the first place, it seems that Hakkoichi is to make the world and the whole world a single house, and "Chronicles of Japan" covers the entire world. It seems that he interpreted the whole world as a single house.
It was pointed out that this was used as a slogan to justify Japan's invasion of China and Southeast Asia during World War II, and it was a word that I rarely hear in postwar Japan.
This area around Tsukiji is also the "birthplace of the Navy" and an area closely related to the "Great Japanese Empire Navy" so that you can visit the naval historic sites, and this monument may have been set up here in connection.
By the way, Chuo-ku sightseeing certification was finally one month later (Saturday, January 27, 2018)
This monument is not listed in the official text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", so it is unlikely that you will enter the Chuo-ku Tourism Test at the end of next month (it should be)
