The trace of the "Kihara store" Yokocho where Soseki and Shiki also passed.
On the north side of Nihonbashi 1-chome "Cored Nihonbashi", there used to be a side street called "Kiwaradana" near the bedding "Nihonbashi Nishikawa".
When Machiya from the Edo period entered the Meiji era, it became the center of the downtown area of Nihonbashi, where many restaurants such as eel shops, sushi restaurants, cafes and other restaurants lined up on both sides of the road, and it was also called the "Food Tame Shindo".
There was also a seating restaurant called Kihara-tei nearby.
This Yokocho is also a Yokocho where Soseki Natsume and Shiki Masaoka went to eat and drink and see the vaudeville.
And this Kihara store and vaudeville are depicted in Soseki's novels "Sanshiro" and "Kokoro", and a stone monument that wrote this.
It is located in the corner of the left square, which entered this street from Chuo-dori.
On the left side of the monument of Soseki, there is a monument and explanation board of "Meisui Shirakiya Well".
In the current location of "Cored Nihonbashi", there was "Shirakiya", one of the three major kimono shops in Edo during the Edo period.
The second generation head, Hikotaro Omura, invested his private property to dig a well, and when a single Kannon statue came out of the well, high-quality Shimizu springs out of the well, so it was widely called `` Shiraki Meisui '' It is explained that it has been done.
The square with these two monuments in one corner is named "Cored Nihonbashi Annex Square" and has designer chairs, tables and large wooden decks, making it a place to relax surrounded by water flows and trees.
