How many "Chuo-ku" are there all over the country?
Our city, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, is literally located in the center of Tokyo.
Just as Nihonbashi became the starting point of the Gokaido, in a sense, the center of Japan.
I might be able to call you.
By the way, do you know how many "Chuo-ku" is nationwide?
In addition to Tokyo, it is located in the following 10 cities.
(As of today, it may increase or decrease in the future.)
(Sapporo City, Hokkaido)
(Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture)
(Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture)
(Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture)
(Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture)
(Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture)
(Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture)
(Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture)
(Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture)
(Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture)
By the way, there is even an address called "Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku" in Osaka.
What's interesting is that people in Tokyo pronounced "Nihonbashi", but in Osaka, people in Tokyo pronounced "Nihonbashi".
"Nipponbashi" and a prompt sound "t" enter.
Nihonbashi 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Osaka is "Japan's best" (Nipponichi) and is a local area.
It is said that it is called by a common name.
Even in the same "Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku," there are various backgrounds, cultures, and history.
I thought it was interesting.
