The main character of Taiga drama series in 2025 was Juzaburo Tsutaya, who ran a well-established publisher Koshodo in the Edo period. He published works by painters from Katsushika Hokusai and Sharaku Toshusai, and published books on popular works such as Kyoden Santo, Bakin Takizawa, and Jukasha 19.

At that time, this corner, which was called Nihonbashi-dori Aburamachi, was lined with bookstores, and it is said that the smell of paper and ink was mixed with the wind.

We are waiting for you at Kodemmacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, where you go up to the ground from Exit 1.

Sugimori Shrine, one of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, was granted a lottery by the Shogunate during the Edo period. Like the current lottery, it was a pleasure of the common people of Edo who dreamed of a thousand money. It had been cut off for a long time in 103 years, but it was revived in 1945 and continues to this day. In 1920, a monument to Tomizuka was erected, commemorating the performance of the "Fukuji" here.

Ebisu God, the god of business, is enshrined, and the Reitaisai festival is held every October 19th and 20th, and the lively fair, Bettara City, is held.

The main ancestor is the iron-made Holy Kanzeon Bodhisattva. When Minamoto no Yoritomo opened the Shogunate in Kamakura, Masako Hojo relied on Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, founded Shin Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kamakura, and was enshrined as main deity. The Kannondo was burned and collapsed in a fire, and during the Edo period the Buddha head was dug out from a well called Kurogane no well in Hachimangu Shrine. It has been enshrined as the main priest since it was moved to this Great Kanonji Temple in 1876. The large Buddha head with a height of 170 cm and a width of 54 cm is opened on the 11th and 17th of every month and is gathering religion.

Skanda, which is said to run at a very fast speed and eliminate demons, is also enshrined, and many runners come to visit before the marathon event.

Ningyocho is a town that miraculously survived the war of the Tokyo Air Raid. We walk along the charming path that used to be Yoshicho Hanamachi. "Kikuya" is one of the best sake restaurants in Tokyo, and the alleys are lit at night to increase the taste. Yoshiume Yoshicho-tei is a two-story wooden Sukiya style built in the early Showa era and is designated as a registered Tangible Cultural Property. When Yoshicho was at its peak as the Hanayagi world, it was a waiting area, and for a time it was also the residence of actress Kogiku Hanayagi.

"Koami Shrine" was enshrined about 550 years ago with Ise-jingu Shrine as the main sect. Since ancient times, it has been worshiped as a god of fortune and prosperity of business. It seems that all those who traveled from this area during World War II came back. After being destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake, shrine hall was rebuilt in 1929 and escaped the war.

This Kagura Hall was a pentagon and was a one-story house at the time of construction, but later the first floor became a warehouse and was relocated above it. In Niiname-no-Matsuri, the dedication and musical accompaniment of the village kagura dance are performed.

Every year, the new rice harvested in the year is fed to Niiname-no-Matsuri on November 23 and served to visitors around the 28th. From the day of the Doburoku Festival to the New Year, "Susukimi Mizuku" will be awarded.

In the early Edo period, Yoshiwara was located in Ningyocho, and Suehiro Shrine, which was guardian god, had been enshrined here for more than 400 years. Since a fan was discovered during the construction of main hall, it became an auspicious company name. The fan is preserved as a sacred treasure. If you put your money on the stone at the base of sacred tree and Kusu in the precincts and put your wish "No, Suehirogari", if you have that money, Fukutoku will come and Fukutoku will spread if you use it.

He has been protected by Vaisravana, a god who gives luck and avoids disasters, and the "Hagumi" of the town fire extinguisher.

Meiji period, at the entrance of this street, there was a famous sweet liquor store called Owari-ya, and the 400m street to Meijiza was named amazake Yokocho. It is a shopping street unique to Ningyocho, where delicious long-established stores are lined up. Enjoy a countless promenade, such as freshly baked doll grilling, taiyaki, rice crackers and hojicha scents, new sweets and tea, restaurants and take-out sushi, side dishes, liquor stores, etc.
