Yukari Ieyasu Tokugawa, explore the commonalities between Shizuoka and Chuo-ku
I went to Shizuoka (Shunpu) related to Ieyasu Tokugawa
I've been searching for something in common with Chuo-ku.
Regardless of Chuo-ku or Shizuoka, it is a castle town where Ieyasu set up a castle in common.
Around Sunpu Castle, which was built by Imagawa and later became Tokugawa territory and maintained by Ieyasu.
The area around Edo Castle, which was built by Michio Ota and later became Hojo's supporting castle, later became Tokugawa territory, and was maintained by Ieyasu.
Although different places are different, commonalities are visible and hidden in towns that have followed similar history.
This time, the main I visited was Ieyasu, so I couldn't spend much time, but there was still a point that I thought it was similar.
It's the old town name.
Sunpu, built in the era of Imagawa and maintained by Ieyasu Tokugawa, there was "Shunpu Kujurokugacho" along the old Tokaido, and it seems that each town had its own role.
In addition, Shizuoka City has set up a town name monument to raise interest in the local history, and this time it became a guide to walking around the city and was very useful.

Then, I would like to introduce you to the name of the town.
Temmacho
This will definitely attract interest if you are a central inhabitant, reminiscent of Kodemmacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line.
When I looked into it, what is Temmacho?
"In the Edo period, it often refers to the area where there was a horseshoe (a wholesaler), an important facility for post offices." (From Wikipedia)
"I was responsible for the horses for the lords (shogunate and clan) called the role of horses and related husbands." (From Wikipedia)
In fact, the place name named Temmacho seems to be in various parts of Japan.
Speaking of Chuo-ku, the name of Nihonbashikodenmacho Nihonbashiodenmacho still remains today.
These are derived from the fact that Otemmacho and Minami Temmacho, which are responsible for horses for the Gokaido, were established around Nihonbashi, and Kodemmacho, which is responsible for horses inside Edo.
Even in the vicinity of Sunpu Castle, there was also a horseshoe.
The composition seems to have been similar to the relationship between Edo Castle and Otemmacho Kodemmacho.
Ryogaecho
In Shizuoka, there was a street name called Ryogaecho.
This is interesting, and when I looked into it, I found that there was a very deep connection with Ginza in Chuo-ku.
It is said that Ieyasu Tokugawa was founded in Sunpu in 1606 by the original "Ginza". Here, it is said that it produced weight silver and chogin as a storage property of Sunpu Castle.
From that, this land came to be called Ryogaecho.
This exchange has a different meaning than the current one.
As a business of Ginza, I said that buying Haibuki silver and exchanging it for public casting silver is exchange.
After retiring from Ieyasu, Ginza's function in Sunpu in 1612 moved to Edo.
In Edo, Koza and Ginza were made.
Koza → Hon Ryogaecho (town name)
Ginza → Shin-Ryogaecho (town name)
It was called "Share."
Shin Ryogaecho was also called Ginza-cho as a popular name because there was "Ginza".
Ginza will be relocated to Kakigara-cho in 1800 due to the fraud of silver coin casting.
At that time, the name of Ginza remained in Shin-Ryogaecho as a popular name, and in 1869 it became the name of the town, and the name of Ginza was officially adopted.
Ryogaecho in Shizuoka Prefecture was Ryogaecho before moving to Edo.
That's why it was a town closely related to Setsucha Chuo-ku. I went to Shizuoka without knowing it, but I was happy with the unexpected discovery. This is the pleasure of walking around the city.

Miyukicho
There is also a street named Miyuki Street in Ginza.
It seems that a very similar place name is all over Japan, so I found it in Shizuoka this time, so I took a picture.
I think the origin is the same everywhere.
It is derived from the path that His Majesty the Emperor passed.
This is Miyukicho in Shizuoka Prefecture, but since Emperor Showa was happy to visit the Shizuoka region, the road was named "Miyuki-dori" because it became a street, and it came from Miyukicho It is said that it was named.
※By the way, Miyuki Street in Ginza is Emperor Meiji
When I looked into it, it seems that there are Miyukicho everywhere in the country.
Perhaps it will not increase in the future, it is a remnant of the former Emperor's sovereignty era.
Before the war, when His Majesty the Emperor was said to be the real god, I realized once again that such an era was true.
If you walk around the town, your trip will be interesting.
This time, Ieyasu went for the purpose, so it was a really surprising discovery.
At the beginning of this year, I challenged the Chuo-ku Tourism Test for the first time.
It is because I walked around the town through that study and gained various knowledge.
I think there was this discovery.
Once again, I would like to thank the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification for taking this opportunity.
In order to increase the number of people who have the same appeal, my motivation to work on this blog etc. was stimulated.
