Chuo-ku, where the times pass.

If you drive in Tokyo, you will find the Meiji Dori, Showa-dori, and Edo-dori St.
I often see the information. And there was a sudden question.
Then there may be "Heisei-dori" and "Taisho-dori".
When I checked it online, "Heisei-dori" is a nickname for the ward road in Chuo-ku, and it was called "Heisei-dori"
It shows the street from Harumi-dori St. (Tsukiji 2-chome) to Armor Bridge (Nihonbashikabutocho).
That's right. It's just like you're going through Hatchobori.
Because it is parallel to Showa-dori, it may have simply become Heisei-dori.

 

In the past, Toden was running around here, so it was also called "Train Street".
It seems that there was a time when it was called.
When I actually went there, the road was two lanes on both sides, and the traffic was heavy.
There were surprisingly few people walking.

 

By the way, "Taisho-dori", the current "Yasukuni Dori" is "Taisho-dori" until before the war.
It is said that it was called "Oh".

In that sense, Meiji-dori St. does not go to Chuo-ku, but there is no such thing.
There will be streets of Edo, Taisho era, Showa, and Heisei.
Isn't it something that is not known unexpectedly?
By the way, the nickname of the road in Chuo-ku extends to 98 routes.

"Kyobashi" in Hibiya

[GPP] April 11, 2018 12:00

 I found "Kyobashi balustrade pillar" at Hibiya Park. (Place: near Kasumimon, Hibiya Park.
  It was a short walk from Hibi Tanino Sound.

 This is a balustrade pillar of Kyobashi built in 1875.
  It was relocated to Hibiya Park during the replacement of the building in 1922.

 Since it is not the main pillar, the bridge name "Kyobashi" is not carved.

 On the other hand, the "main pillar" with the name of the bridge is preserved near Kyobashi, Chuo-ku.

 If you compare the photos, there is still a sense of unity.
