The change of Sakuragawa
Sakuragawa Park is located just above Hatchobori Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line.
This object is called MOON LIGHT STAGE - Moon Stage.
This place was originally a river called Hatchobori.
It is a waterway that is excavated from the lower part of the Kyobashi River and joins the Kamejima River, and flows into the Sumida River called Okawa during the Edo period.
The most important thing in Edo's logistics was to secure a waterway for shipbuilding.
Because there are eight towns (about 873m) in length, it is called Yachimachibori.
Ding is an abbreviation of the town, isn't it? Now Hatchobori is a common name.
Initially, Teramachi had many temples, but most of the temples were ordered to relocate to Asakusa due to the expansion work under Edo Castle, and a town of Yoriki Doshingumi Yashiki was created on the site.
The common people of Edo call the power concentrics the husband of Hatchobori.
Hon Hatchobori is on the north side of the moat, and Minami Hatchobori is on the south side. Even now, the Hon Hatchobori side remains as the place name, and remains as the station name of the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and JR Keiyo Line.
In 1883, the name of the moat was changed from Hatchobori to Sakuragawa.
Was there a cherry tree on the side of the moat like the maple of the Momiji River or the maple of the Kaede River?
Or was it named "Spring Cherry Blossom" in contrast to "Autumn Maple" because it connects to the Kaede River?
It's on a side street...
Momijigawa is "Momijigawa", but Kaedegawa seems to have been called "Kaedegawa" or "Momijigawa".
I looked into "Momiji" and "Kaede".
Both leaves are large and small, but the shape is similar.
"Momiji" is said to have changed the verb "Momizu", which means that the color changes to yellow or red in autumn.
"Kaede" seems to have been attached because it resembles a frog's palm.
"Momiji" looks like a frog's palm.
The Momiji River, which was an important road for water transportation, was reclaimed during the Edo period, but it seems that some people left the name in the important Kaede River and called it "Momijigawa".
The upper part of the photo is a letter engraved on the explanatory version of the site of Mitsuhashi, and the maple is written on Kaedegawa with "Momiji".
"Momiji" is also written in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" in the Chuo-ku Tourism Test Text.
Below is the letters written on the guide map. It's Kaedegawa.
The ruins of Mitsuhashi and Kaedegawa Shintomibashi Park are only about 120m away.
I don't think which one is right.
Even though there was no river already, there was Momijigawa High School in Nihonbashi until it moved to Fukagawa, Koto-ku, and there was also Manabu Kawanaka until it was integrated into Nihonbashi Junior High School.
In Chuo-ku, Kaedegawa seems to be unified with "Kaede", but I think it's good to say the name of the person who called the name of the river.
Based on the map of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 1953, the location and the size of the road are not good, but I tried to make a map.
The bridge over Sakuragawa is from upstream.
Shin-Sakurabashi → Sakurabashi → Nakanohashi → Hatchobori Bridge → It joins the Kamejima River at Inari Bridge and flows to the Sumida River.
On the house map of 1963, the upstream side of Sakurabashi is written as the Sewerage Bureau, and the Sakurabashi pumping station is made.
There is still water from Sakurabashi to Inaribashi.
I remember that ships often anchored on the Hatchobori Bridge side of Nakanohashi.
Sakurabashi was a bridge where Toden passes.
Around 1967, both the Toden stop and the Sakurabashi itself were removed.
The area between Sakurabashi and Nakanohashi will be reclaimed, and the Tokyo Welfare Hall will be completed.
There are two buildings, and the central part between them is an outdoor pool surrounded by buildings with a stairwell.
There were wedding halls, accommodations, beauty salons, photo studios and barber shops, and there was a table tennis field underground.
And there was a restaurant where you could eat very cheaply (I think Seibukei).
The area between Nakanohashi and Hatchobori Bridge was reclaimed, and a narrower Sakuragawa Park was created.
A gateball field was set up on the Nakanohashi side.
Commuters who get on and off the people who use it in the morning look down on and off at the station.
Nakanohashi was still a bridge. There was water under the bridge.
It slipped when it was quite sloped and frozen on a snowy day.
On the Hatchobori Bridge side, Sakuragawa Keirokan and Sakuragawa Nursery School are completed.
Hatchobori Bridge will be removed.
It will also be reclaimed between Inari Bridge, and first the construction of Sakurabashi No. 2 Pumping Station will proceed.
In Heisei, Nakanohashi is removed, and the water of Hatchobori (Sakuragawa) is gone.
Sakuragawa Park is re-maintained, and as the name suggests, many cherry trees line up, making it a famous spring spot.
The object in the first photo was built at this time.
The construction between Hatchobori Bridge and Inari Bridge will be completed, and the City Women's Center Booke 21 and Rooftop Park will be completed.
There is also a gateball field on the rooftop.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Workers' Welfare Center will be changed to Labor Square.
A few years later, Labor Square will be closed and dismantled.
In 1999, Hatchobori was featured in Ad Street Heaven, which was aired on TV Tokyo.
Sakuragawa Park was the first place I handled in the program.
When I wondered what it was, Hatchobori was reclaimed and now it became a park, and I picked up Jizo.
Jizo, located in a corner of Sakuragawa Park, is called Iriichi Jizo Bodhisattva.
The north side of Sakuragawa is now Hatchobori 4-chome, and the south side is Irifune 1-chome.
The address of Sakuragawa Park is 1-1-1 Irifune.
I think the next to Jizo in the middle is Kannon Bosatsu.
There is a legend that it has flowed from the river, and some people think that they are all three.
Did you really have three bodies settled in the elder of Irifune 1-chome? When I asked doubtfully, I was told that one body was definitely wrong.
In the scene of Jizo-san in Ad Street Heaven, the elder is reflected.
It was explained that one had flowed in.
It is a stone next to the Iriichi Jizo Bodhisattva.
It is called a prayer stone.
In the past, it is said that there was a natural stone called oil stone. It seems to be this stone.
It is prayed that you do not have tooth decay or heal by touching the stone.
Some people come to ask you to have a good tooth if your child's milk teeth come out.
I didn't know what the former site of Labor Square would change for a while.
There was a talk about the sale of public land in Tokyo, and the Kyobashi Five Clubs and Seven Clubs submitted a letter to the mayor of Chuo Ward that they would like to request effective use as a local ward before selling to a private company. I've seen it in the newspaper.
It became a temporary storage area for removed bicycles and a material storage area for the Sewerage Bureau.
This photo shows the renovation of Sakuragawa Keirokan and Sakuragawa Nursery School on the former Hatchobori Bridge side and reborn.

It has been renovated as a complex, and a resting building has been created that integrates with the park's Kiki.
The Kyobashi Library will be closed on August 31.
And on December 4th, Japan Forest Chuou will open on the site of Labor Square.
In Oita, the exterior came to be seen.
It is a new view of Sakuragawa that has been reborn.
