Answers and Commentary

It is the Odawara Bridge building. Tsukiji Fish Bank is a fresh market established by Chuo-ku to pass on the liveliness and liveliness of Tsukiji for the future even after the relocation of Tsukiji Market, with about 60 retailers, including wholesalers. . The Tsukiji Fish Bank consists of two buildings, the Odawara Bridge Building and the Kaiyuki Bridge Building, and the first floor is lined with shops such as fisheries and fruit and vegetable wholesalers. The rooftop plaza is a valuable place to relax on the Tsukiji Outer Market.

2 "Yen", the currency of Japan. Looking at the main building of the main building of the Bank of Japan from the sky, it is wonderfully marked with "yen".

The main building of the main store was designed by Kingo Tatsuno, an architect who was active as a leading figure in the architectural world during the Meiji and Taisho eras, and is a nationally designated important cultural property.

At the time of construction, the letter "En" is written on the Bank's ticket. It seems that the main building was not in the shape of a "yen" character.

"En" is the old font of "Yen" and the meaning is the same. It was after the war that the currency came to be described as "yen". The fact that the main building of the main store is "yen" is not intended by Kingo Tatsuno, but by chance.

 

It's Kodemmacho. In 1854 (1854), when the Black Ship Fleet reappeared, he attempted to smuggle, but failed and was sent to a prison in Kodemmacho. After that, he was repatriated to Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and inherited Matsushitamura Juku from his uncle, and raised many priests such as Takayoshi Kido, Takasugi Shinsaku, Genzui Kusaka and Ito Hirobumi. However, he was sent to Edo in Ansei's prison and entered the prison in Kodemmacho again. In 1859 (1859), he was executed in Kodemmacho prison. The monument in the park is engraved with a phrase of resignation.

 
4 Ginza 2-chome. The place name of "Ginza" comes from "Ginza government office" in the Edo period. Ieyasu Tokugawa, who opened the Edo Shogunate in 1603, moved the silver coin foundry in Sunpu to the current Ginza 2-chome. The official name of the place was Shin-Ryogaecho, but it came to be called "Ginza".
By the way, "Ginza" is an organization that makes silver coins for the Shogunate, and there were government offices that handle silver purchases, silver management, and clerical work, and factories that cast silver coins. By the way, Koza, which handles gold, was located at the current Bank of Japan head office in Nihonbashi.
