The departure has been in Nihonbashi for a long time and now
If you move around here and there in Japan, you will still notice the existence of a town with the same name and the same notation.
Otemachi (Otemachi, Otecho) is one of them. Because it is a place name near the Otemon gate of castle in various parts of Japan, there are many in the north from Hokkaido (Otemachi, Hakodate-shi) to Kagoshima (Otemachi, Kanoya-shi).
Speaking of Nihonbashi, Nihonbashi is famous for its Nihonbashi in Osaka. This is pronounced Nipponbashi, but it is the name of the town in Chuo-ku and Naniwa-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, and the name of the surrounding area, or the bridge over the Dotonbori River.
The question here is, "Why do you call Osaka 'Nipponbashi' and Edo 'Nihonbashi'?
Originally, "Japan" is considered to be more natural to pronounce "Nippon" like a shout of support during a sporting event. Among them, Nihonbashi in Tokyo is a Japanese bash because two logs were built over the river for the convenience of the construction of Edo Castle and used as a temporary bridge, so the workers of the construction called "Nihonbashi" someday. There seems to be a theory that it became the name of the bridge.
By the way, about Nihonbashi, the fact that there is a replica from its symbolic existence is also worth noting.
One is the international terminal of Narita Airport. It's a bridge for those who are going abroad or coming to Japan.
The bustle of the town from the Edo figure folding screen
Here, on the wall, several famous places are taken up from the "Edo Figure Screen", and the lively state of the city of Edo is expressed in ceramic wall paintings. If you look closely, you can see various areas such as Kanei-ji Temple, around Kanda, Edo Castle, Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, Hatchobori, and Tsukiji. In Nihonbashi, the appearance of townspeople and turners coming and going, and the high billboards that show the shogunate's touch are also clearly depicted.
It is a great pleasure to see Nihonbashi, the starting point of travel, as a gateway to the world over time, at the international terminal. From this terminal, it would be even better if we could guide customers more, saying, "Would you like to go to Nihonbashi now?"
