The other day (May 27), I read the "Edo Tokyo History Walk Following the "River and Digging" 20 Remains "" (written by Tetsushi Okamoto, PHP Shinsho) I was interested in Kaedegawa that once existed I walked along the former Kaedegawa river.
The Kaede River diverted from the vicinity of Kabuto-cho on the Nihonbashi River (currently near the Edobashi Junction) to the south, and was about 1.2 km from the confluence of the Kyobashi River and Hatchobori (Sakuragawa) (currently near the Kyobashi Junction). The Toshin Expressway was reclaimed from 1960 (Showa 35) to 1965 (Showa Expressway.
The yellow part in the map
below is where Kaedegawa used to flow.
The starting point (A) was where Kabutobashi used to be.
The photo below shows a view of the place where Kabutobashi would have been built in front of Kabuto Shrine.
It's Kabuto Shrine.
In the precincts, there is Kabutoiwa, which is said to have been reported to have stopped by Yoshiie Minamotono and prayed for victory in the role of the previous nine years.
This was the origin of the name of Kabuto-cho.
（Ｂ） This is where the shipping bridge was built.
It was said that it was called Takahashi in the early Edo period, and later the Pirate Bridge and Shogen Bridge.
In the first year of the Meiji era (1868), it was renamed the Shipping Bridge over "Good luck".
Currently, only two main pillars are left.
Chiyodabashi (C) is a bridge built by Eitai-dori St. across the Kaede River.
Ohara Inari Shrine (D) is enshrined on the south side of Chiyodabashi, just a short walk away, with a highway behind it.
It's Shinba Bridge (E).
It is said that Nakanohashi and Kaedebashi were also nicknamed. In 1674, a new appetizer field (Shinkasaba shore) was set up on the west side as the second fish shore following
the Nihonbashi fish shore, and it was abbreviated as Shinba It seems that it was
If you look at the expressway north of Hashigami of Shinbabashi, you can clearly see that the road is coming down from the elevated to the bottom of the Kaede River.
Torii Inari Shrine (F) is located just next to Shinbabashi, just a little from Sakura-dori St.
It stands in a quiet place, and the word "No. 1" is impressive.
