| Nihonbashi | |
| Nihon means "Japan" and bashi (hashi) means "bridge", so Nihonbashi literally means "Japan bridge". As the name shown, there has been a bridge in Nihonbashi which was first built in 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyas established a new shogunate, Tokugawa shogunate. Nihonbashi was the starting point of all 5 official routes during the Edo (Tokygawa) era (1603-1868), and the district was one of the busiest spots in Japan. It is unknown why the government gave the bridge such a name "Japan bridge". Today, you cannot view the original bridge anymore. Current bridge was built before the Tokyo Olympics were held | |
