Based on the concept of Nihonbashi Revitalization Plan, "COREDO Muromachi" will open across the Mitsui Main Building on Chuo-dori, as the first building of Nihonbashi Muromachi East District Development.

I think I'm very interested in it, so I'll give you an overview of it.

As you may know, the naming of "COREDO" is a coined word that combines "CORE (center)" and "EDO (Edo)" and means "Edo" That's right.

It became a hot topic when COREDO Nihonbashi opened in 2004 in the skyscraper "Nihonbashi 1-chome Building", an example at the intersection where Eitai-dori St. and Chuo-dori are mixed.

 

The building with this "COREDO Muromachi" is officially called the "Muromachi Higashi Mitsui Building" and is a complex consisting of 22 floors above ground (height: about 100m) and 4 floors underground office, commercial and multipurpose halls.

The building consists of a commercial area of restaurants and retail stores on the first to fourth floors, a multi-purpose hall "Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall" on the fifth to sixth floors, and an office floor from the tenth to 21st floors.

 

 

This building will start construction in December 2008 and will open in October after two years.

 

During the construction work, a large message was written on the construction fence as shown in the photo on the left.

The opening schedule is as follows.

Friday, October 1: Muromachi Higashi Mitsui Building opened

Thursday, October 28: The commercial area (1F to 4F) of "COREDO Muromachi" opens.

The Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall (5F-6F) opened on October 30 (Sat.), opening ceremony

On the first floor, in addition to long-established stores such as "Ninben Nippon Hashimoto Ten" and "Nihonbashi Kiya", Kanazawa foil specialty store "Hakuza Nihonbashi", which will be opened for the first time in Tokyo, cafe Brassley Patisserie "Eymet Vibert" and ATM (Mizuho Bank, Chiba Bank) will be opened.

 

On the second floor, there are fish dishes such as Kinoshige Nihonbashi, a popular Chinese chef Kenichi Chin's Sichuan restaurant.

On the 3rd floor, there are bistro "BISTRO Ishikawa-tei", where you can line up, and "Yonesho", a Japanese food with rice as the leading role.

On the 4th floor, there is an Edo-mae sushi "Shimon", which is associated with the Nihonbashi Fish Bank, and the entrance lobby of Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall is opened.

 

On the first basement floor, there is a subway "Mitsukoshi Station" contact gate, but "Taro Shobo" and choled information "Nihonbashi Information Center" will open.

 

[Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall]

Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall is a large multi-purpose hall directly connected to the station in the Nihonbashi area (maximum number of 1,000 seats, 650 theater-type, 700m2), which can be used from businesses such as conventions and exhibitions to entertainment such as live music and theater.

 

Opened on October 30 (Saturday), as a “Kokera drop ceremony”, “Sanbaso Dance” by Koshiro Matsumoto and Somegoro Ichikawa, supervised by Koshiro Matsumoto, and fashion shows The world's first "Kabuki x Fashion Show" will be held in collaboration with Yoshio Wakatsuki, who produces and produces.

 

 

It is the birth of a new attraction in Chuo-ku. It will play a role in revitalizing Nihonbashi.

By all means, why don't you visit this opening opportunity?

 

The first step of "Nihonbashi Muromachi East District Development" is COREDO Muromachi introduced here, but as shown in the first figure, the construction of a new building and the "Edo Sakura-dori St.", a row of cherry blossom trees from the Bank of Japan, as shown in the first figure, will be extended, and the area around "Fukutoku Shrine", which will be relocated from "Muromachi Fukutoku Juku", will continue in the future.

 

As depicted in the "Kidai Shoran" of the Edo period (it is displayed on the underground passage of the subway Ginza Line, I think many people have seen it ...) It seems that you can expect further liveliness and liveliness in the area.
