Our city, Chuo-ku, is located almost in the center of Tokyo's 23 wards and is an economic and cultural center.
Yes, Nihonbashi is the starting point of Gokaido, so the name "Central" is named.
It goes without saying that it was done.
However, recently, there has been a little battle between Tokyo and Osaka regarding the name of Chuo-ku.
Did you know that it is unfolding?
Osaka City's capital plan divides the city into four special wards: "North," "Central," "Yodogawa," and "Tennoji."
If this is realized, Chuo-ku will be born in Osaka as well.
That's why.
On the other hand, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, said, "I came as Chuo-ku for 70 years, Ginza, etc.
The brand has been built. I want you to avoid it because it may be confused. "
It is said that he sent a letter to Osaka City requesting a reconsideration.
According to the notification by the former Ministry of Home Affairs, the name when a new city is created is the same as the existing city.
Or, it is said that "consideration" is not similar, but legally binding is required.
In response to a request from Tokyo, the Osaka side said, "Chuo-ku is a general name that represents directions."
It seems that there is a problem.
Well, I'm interested in how to settle this whereabouts.
By the way, there are currently 10 wards of Chuo-ku nationwide, and Chuo-ku in Tokyo.
It has the longest history and has been designated as a special ward.
