Ichiishibashi (1-11 Yaesu)

 

According to the explanation board of the local Chuo-ku Board of Education (Chuo inhabitant's cultural property, lower left photo), the name of the bridge is derived from Shosaburo Goto, who uses the shogunate Koza in Honryoka-cho north of the bridge, and Gofukumachi south of the bridge. There is a mansion of Goto Seidensuke, a kimono shop, and it is named Goto, Goto + Goto. If there is an objection to this, it is also introduced in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" as follows. It is derived from the fact that this bridge was replaced with one rice stone in accordance with the Eiraku Zen sentence, which was banned in use in the early Edo period.

In addition, Minami-Hashizume has a "Ichiishibashi Lost Shirase Stone Mark" (Designated Cultural Property, Tokyo), which seems to have been crowded with many people during the Edo period. When I got lost, my parents and children sometimes lived apart for a lifetime. This stone marker is the only one from the Edo period and is regarded as a valuable historical material.
In addition, the largest skyscraper in Japan has been planned on the west side since 2020, and the demolition of existing buildings is underway. I think it will become an area that attracts the attention of many people.

Ichiishibashi, whose name is Yamibashi, is also introduced in Edo famous places such as Edo famous places. It is said that he could see eight bridges, including himself, from this Hashigami. Now Dosanbori and outer moat are buried, and the remaining four are Jobanbashi (under demolition and renovation), Ichiishibashi, Edobashi, and Nihonbashi. Dosan Bridge, Zenbe Bridge, Kaji Bridge, and Gofuku Bridge have no actual bridge, but there are some places where explanation boards are installed.

The photo on the right shows the Nihonbashi direction, the bridge girder of the expressway, etc. Edobashi is not visible, but Nihonbashi seems to be a little bit like that.
