The current Chuo-ku Minato 1-1 is the entrance to bouquet 21.

On a map of the Kyoho period during the Edo period (around 1720), Honkomachi is written along the Kamejima River, where Samurai residence is lined up. The east side is Inaribashi, and the neighboring town in the direction of Honganji is described as Funamatsumachi.

After that, the south side of Hatchobori is called Minami Hatchobori and Shinminatocho.

In the Meiji era, Samurai residence disappeared, and the town name was decided from 1-chome to 5-chome Shinminatocho. Honminato-cho was directly in Honminato-cho, and along the riverside of Funamatsumachi was Shinminato-cho 6-chome.

In the land readjustment after the Great Kanto Earthquake, Shinminato Town, Motominato Town, Funamatsumachi, Minami Hatchobori and Shinsakaemachi will be merged to form Minatomachi 1-chome to 3-chome.

The Chuo-ku Board of Education issued a "talk about the old days of Chuo-ku" issued by the Chuo-ku Board that Edo-Minato was a place where ships arrived and departed for the Izu area and supplies from Izu-Oshima Island and Hachijojima Island were dropped off.

Currently 1-1-1 Irifune, Chuo-ku, is the entrance to Shin-ohashi-dori St. side of Sakuragawa Park.

In the Meiji era, a moat is built between the Tsukiji River and Sakuragawa (Hatchobori). It is called the Irifune River and is used for logistics. Samurai residence on the east side of the river is broken and divided into towns, from Irifunecho 1-chome to 6-chome. Jikkencho became Irifunecho 7-chome, and the places designated as foreign settlements near Tsukiji were Irifunecho 8-chome and 9-chome. The government, which was troubled by the shortage of alternative land to build a home as a reconstruction project following the Great Kanto Earthquake, reclaims the Irifune River. The current Shin-ohashi-dori St. is part of that.

I thought that there were places other than the printing town in Irifune-cho that were the birthplace of the shoe industry and the Mizuno Printing Museum. The birthplace of the shoe industry is the place where Katsuzo Nishimura built a leather shoe factory in 1870, and Eiichi Shibusawa also supports it. Because there was a foreign settlement, it sold very much and built factories in five places such as Kobiki-cho. Every factory was said to be a shoe factory in Irifune. The Mizuno Printing Museum displays the printing machine of Tomiji Hirano, the first print printing machine in Japan, and the first edition of "Study Recommendations" written by Yukichi Fukuzawa.

There is a record that Chinese Ren Shotai sold lamune around Irifune-cho Karukobashi immediately after the Meiji era. In addition, Carl Jakob Hess, who was called Charihes, runs the Lamune Plant in Irifunecho 1-1, and later becomes a bakery in Odawaracho. It opened in Ginza under the name of Charisha and became famous as a French bakery. At the beginning of the Meiji era, a private Seika Hirone Elementary School, which opened in Minami Hatchobori, merged with Shintomi Elementary School in 1894 and moved to Irifunecho 1-26. Some people say "telling the old days of Chuo-ku." The number of students around Meiji 34 was 185, but the location of the school after that was unknown. I examined it in the book of educational history in Chuo-ku, but there was no description of the school name. In the days when there were a shortage of public schools, there were many private schools.

My house was 1-chome Irifunecho. It was a merchant from the end of the Meiji era and was rebuilt after being destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake. There was a plate with an address display on the old pillar. It's written as Shineicho, Kyobashi district. What is this for my grandfather? When you hear that, it is said to be an old address. I was shocked that it was not Irifune-cho. It is lined up with Shintomi-cho, Irifune-cho, Shinsakaemachi and Minatomachi. Until 1932, the name of the town was divided in the middle of the town. I didn't know why, but when I looked up at the book forest Chuo, it seemed to have been divided on the site of Samurai residence and divided into towns.

Shinsakaemachi disappeared in 1932, and after the war, Kyobashi District changed to Chuo-ku. Minami Hatchobori has disappeared and has been incorporated into Shintomi-cho and Irifune-cho, and has been lined up vertically in Shintomi-cho, Irifune-cho, and Minato-cho. It became Irifune-cho to the back street of the current Bank of Mitsubishi UFJ, and changed from 1-chome to 3-chome. The current Shin-ohashi-dori St. is known as Market Street at that time, so I dare call it so. In the reconstruction project after the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Irifune River was reclaimed and wide roads and residential areas were created. Was this borderline the Irifune River at that time?

In 1971, due to the indication of residence, Shin-ohashi-dori St. was divided into Shintomi and Irifune. Shintomi, Irifune, and Minato have no characters in the town. The reclaimed Sakuragawa Park also has an address display at Irifune 1-chome, and the book forest Chuo on the opposite side of Shin-ohashi-dori St. is Shintomi 1-chome.

By the way, Kobiki-cho and Odawara-cho have disappeared, and only Akashicho has the character of the town in the Kyobashi district. Akashicho doesn't have a street such as 1-chome. Until recently, the intersection of Shintomi 1-chome was displayed at Shintomicho 1-chome, but now the character of the town has been erased and it has become Shintomi. The subway station on the Yurakucho Line is still Shintomicho.

I wasn't very interested in this place name, which is commonplace for me, but about 30 years ago, I went to Urayasu by car for work. The intersection stopped at the traffic light was the entry marked with a mark. A few days later, I went to Urayasu again for another job and lost my way, and the address display was at the port of Indo. Although it is not the character of Minato, I remembered that Urayasu City also had the same sound as Irifune, Port, and Chuo-ku.

Four years ago, I went to Amami Oshima Island because I needed it. The address of the hotel where I stayed was Irifune-cho (mark) in Naze, Amami-shi. The next day I walked to the neighboring town where there was an errand, and when I moved to the neighboring town, the place name was the port town (the seal there). It's not Minato, but I was a little impressed that it was the same next door. Naze was originally Naze City, but was merged and incorporated into Amami City. The Naze district is the best downtown area in Amami. By the way, there was Ginza Street right next to it.

When I picked it up in the town of printing, I looked into Irifune and Minato.

Irifune, Irifune, Irifune, Irifune, and Irifune-cho are located in 14 prefectures per city.

Minato, Minato, Minato, Port and Port towns had their place names in 33 prefectures, one prefecture, one prefecture, one prefecture.

Excluding Shinminato, Kohoku, Konan, etc., it is still a country surrounded by the sea.

There are Minatomachi in Tochigi and Gifu prefectures without sea, and Nagano has a place name of Minato. It's a place where people and goods gather.

Ningyocho's World Water was closed in 2020, but there are now eight public baths in Chuo-ku. There are two houses in Ginza, one in Kachidoki, Tsukishima, Tsukuda, Kodemmacho, and Minato and Irifune.

Minatoyu on the right has a jacuzzi, jet bath, and silk bath, and also has a sauna bath. I use soft water.

The left side of the photo is Irifuneyu. It is famous for its hot bath. It's just over 43 degrees. The deep Yubune seems to be 44 degrees at a higher temperature. I don't say that Edo kid is hot, so I'm going to put a lot of firewood. No, I don't have firewood at this time.

Irifune-yu was once the name of Shigeru-no-yu. I'm glad that the remaining public baths are the names of Minato and Irifune.
