Earlier, I mentioned a little about the history of Kibiki-cho (former Ginza Higashi), but it is explained in quite detail on the following site.

　In addition, "Kibiki-cho" stated that it was from 1-chome to 8-chome until it was renamed "Ginza Higashi" in 1951, but as stated on the following site, from 1873 What was from 1-chome to 10-chome seems to have been reorganized from 1-chome to 8-chome in 1931.

In addition, "Kinrokucho" merged during the reorganization in 1931 was the location of "(former) Kyobashi Elementary School". The current "Kyobashi Plaza" was set up on the site where Kyobashi Elementary School was integrated, and the "Chuo-ku Tourism Association" is located here, but the original place name was Kinrokucho and then Kibikicho 1-chome should have been.

Kyogenza of Chodayu Yamamura at 6-chome (current Ginza 7-chome) was abolished in 1714 (Shotoku 4) in the Eshima Ikushima Incident (Ejima Ikushima Incident). In addition, there were Kawarasaki-za Theater (which became the retainer of Noto Morita-za Theater) and Tosa Ayatsuri-bai Theater, as well as baijaya and culinary teahouses nearby (famous places in Edo).

There are many boat-jukus on 7-chome facing Kii Kokubashi and Shiodome River, and about 10 boat-jukus along the Shiodome River around Bunkyu (1861-1864) and Keio (1865-1868).
