I have been interested in the "Edo Famous Zoukai", which has been evaluated as a landmark to see with my eyes, and purchased the "Shin-Kei Edo Famous Zoukai" published by Chikuma Gakugei Bunko. I was reading the page of No, I might have been looking at it. This time, it is a plan to explore the area near the place name of Chuo-ku currently described in this "Edo Famous Zoukai" and write what you noticed.

"Edo Famous Zoukai" is an Edo journal published in seven 20 books by Yukio Saito, Yukitaka Saito, and Gesshin Saito, who were village headman in Kanda Kijicho during the late Edo period, during the Tenpo era.

Since the characters "Tori 1-chome" and "Nishikawa Riverside" can be seen in the picture, it is a bird's-eye view from the downstream side of Nihonbashi Kitazume (currently Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome). In the photo, I couldn't take it with a bird's-eye view angle. Considering the biggest difference, it may be that there is also a metropolitan high speed on the Nihonbashi River. However, it seems that the underground construction of the Metropolitan Expressway will be completed by 2035, and the elevated part will be removed in the next five years, and the blue sky will return to Nihonbashi in 2040. I'm looking forward to it.

And the next difference is that there are many people on the bridge and the number of ships floating on the Nihonbashi River. Although there are some deformations, ships were the mainstream transport of luggage at that time, and the city of Edo also had many canals and river banks developed.

You can see a fish market on the left side of Nihonbashi in the picture. At present, a stone monument of "the birthplace of Nihonbashi Fish Market" stands on the site. From the picture, the fish market is bustling. You can see the boat by loading fish on the riverbank in front of the fish market.

In addition, you can see a high billboard on the right side of Nihonbashi in the picture. The shape of the monument from the current Nihonbashi-derived is designed to make you feel the image of the high billboard in the picture. Next to it is the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.

The photo shows a photo near the entrance of the Metropolitan Expressway in Edobashi. The removal of the Metropolitan Expressway following the underground construction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway in the Nihonbashi area was progressing steadily.
