As you know, this emakimono, which realistically conveys the prosperity of Nihonbashi's main street during the Edo period, was discovered by chance in Germany and is held as a work of art in Berlin. It's a great pleasure that anyone can enjoy it at any time since the reproduction was installed on the subway "Mitsukoshi-mae" concourse in 2009.

This time,
"Nihonbashi Preservation Society"
"Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-Year Planning Committee" has opened a website called "Kidai Shoran" Nihonbashi Guide in Japanese and English versions. Isn't it a reliable guidance that allows you to reconfirm the value and meaning of this work, the history of the excavation, etc.

It seems that you can also access the QR code on site with your smartphone and listen to commentary.

The English version of the commentary is also provided, so I hope that it will contribute not only to inbound tourism, which is expected to gradually recover from now on, but also to access from overseas and reaffirm the appeal of the Nihonbashi area. Of course, it's good to enjoy the Japanese version of the commentary and introduce it to your acquaintances.

The website of the Tokyo Tourism Foundation provides explanations in 10 languages, including Japanese and English.

The link collection also introduces the surrounding sightseeing spots.
Let's explore even more of the Nihonbashi area, which is becoming increasingly attractive!
