The fun of walking around the city "Takaramachi"

[Apricot peony] September 22, 2012 08:30

Even though it is no longer gone, "place names" remain only in station names and signboards.
That's right.


One of them is Takaramachi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line.
Located between Higashi-Ginza Station and Nihombashi Station, it is now Kyobashi 1-3-chome.


"Takaramachi" The name of the name was given in 1931 by the idea of Hikokichi Nakazawa, a businessman and a member of the Tokyo City Council, but in 1978, it was integrated into Kyobashi 1-3-chome. And disappeared.

According to the "30-year history of Chuo-ku", one of the reasons that disappeared was one of the reasons for disappearing was "Muro" in Nihonbashi Muromachi (Muromachi) and Takaramachi's "Treasure (Takara)" in Takaramachi It seems that there was a drawback that caused confusion in the delivery of mail.

Speaking of which, I've heard from a friend who lived in Takaramachi when I was a child that the postal address was "Nihonbashi Takaramachi".
Certainly, if you just see it at a glance or break it, you may not be able to make a mistake.


By the way, the other day, I found a sign called "Kyobashi Takara-dori" in an alley just after going up the stairs of Takaramachi Station.
I'm happy to congratulate Takaramachi on "Treasure Street", so if you think if you buy a lottery in such a place, you will win, etc., discover "Lottery Dream Hall" about 50m away!

Here, there is a lottery stage where lottery events such as "Loto 6" and a song show are held, an exhibition of the history of Japanese lottery, a corner where you can experience the 100 million yen bill, etc. There is also a corner where you can search the winning numbers for the year.

When I asked the information, "Is it made in this place because it is Takaramachi?", He answered with a laugh, "No, it looks just a coincidence."


Although there is an antique street in the immediate vicinity, there are only buildings lined up, and this place can be seen as a terrible business district, but if you take a little care and walk around the city, you will find interesting discoveries that I think.
In particular, Chuo-ku has been the center of Japan since the Edo period, and has various history in every corner of the city, so it is a series of discoveries every time you walk.
