Let's enjoy Nihonbashi before going to Gokaido from Nihonbashi.

[Silver] March 2, 2014 09:00

 A long time ago, during the Edo period, Ieyasu Tokugawa designated Nihonbashi as the first departure place on Gokaido.

At present, many people know that the "Japan Road Mark" is buried in the center of the road in Nihonbashi.

Many people leave from Nihonbashi on a walk along the five highways, including Tokaido.

However, it is very regrettable to come to Nihonbashi just as a starting point for walking.

Nihonbashi has a history of over 400 years of bridges, and there are many long-established stores with a history of over 300 years in the surrounding area.

Why don't you leave after buying a commemorative souvenir at a long-established tour in Nihonbashi or having lunch at a famous store with extra hour?

 

 The people in Niigata and Tokyo metropolitan areas that I have guided you to.

At the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi store, I went shopping and got a stamp to commemorate the visit.

I saw Mr. Kuroeya's giboshi and bought "Nihonbashi"

There are many people who are happy to go out, so I would like to introduce you a little.

 

The best way to learn about the history of Nihonbashi is to see and understand.

In that case, at the "Heidai Shoran" installed at the concourse of Tokyo Metro Mitsukoshimae Station.

It's a good idea to feel the atmosphere of the old street.

 

Also, in order to get to know the current Tokyo from a high point, it is necessary to look at Tokyo.

At the restaurant "Kesiki" on the 38th floor of Hotel Mandarin Oriental, you can enjoy a relaxing meal and the surrounding scenery before leaving for a walk on Gokaido.

Of course, it is also recommended that you eat at restaurants in Choledo Muromachi and Choledo Nihonbashi and famous restaurants such as Taimeiken to make good memories before going out.

 

I don't forget to visit the Bank of Japan and the Money Museum around Nihonbashi.

Go around the bridge,

In the square of the bridge, you can see replicas of the road markings and schedules to various places.

Look at the explanation of Otohime Square and the ruins of the Takafuda, which informs you of the remnants of the fish market, and explore Nihonbashi and have fun departure.

Let's have a good trip!
