Watch the city of water transport - Mitsubishi Warehouse
I went to the Mitsubishi Warehouse and Edobashi History Exhibition Gallery, which is one of the Chuo-ku town corner exhibition halls. On the shores of Edobashi, on the first floor of the Nihonbashi Diamond Building, there are materials such as models and photographs as soon as you enter the entrance, and the history of Mitsubishi Warehouse and Edobashi is exhibited.
Beginning in 1876, a cargo handling area of the postal steamship Mitsubishi company was opened in the warehouse warehouse. After that, it was rebuilt into a brick "Nanatsukura", and in 1930, the "Edobashi Warehouse Building" was completed and used for 80 years. It was designated as a Tokyo Metropolitan Government Historic buildings in 2007 because of its beautiful appearance with a tower that resembles Funabashi.
The current Nihonbashi Dia Building preserves the exterior of the Edobashi Warehouse Building and has become a high-rise building on the 18th floor. The shape with a boat motif was also in the quiz question of the tourist association.
Trunk room
In the Edobashi Warehouse, a trunk room was established for the first time in Japan, designed and named by Mitsubishi Warehouse. Nowadays, it is an indispensable storage service for companies and individuals, but according to the recommendation of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, "Transparent services include services provided by warehousing and non-warehousing, and the former is responsible for storage, The latter is left to the user's own responsibility. " Even today, the higher floors are used as tenant offices, and the lower floors are used as the head office and trunk room of Mitsubishi Warehouse as in the past. If you go through the library and go back to the back, you will be able to go to the balcony. The Nihonbashi River flows in front of you.
