Surugadai 駿河台
Suidobashi Surugadai 水道橋駿河台 / Kanda Surugadai 神田駿河台
Surugadai Ogawa-cho ezu
This area used to be called Kandadai, however after the Genna Era (1615-24), retainers of the Tokugawa Clan moved here from Suruga no kuni (now Shizuoka), and it came to be called Surugadai. The top provided a good view of Mount Fuji in Suruga, so there is a theory that this is the origin of the name of the area.
The entire area was a soil borrowing pit, and the soil taken from the plateau was used to landfill Nihonbashi and Shibashi. In addition, the Kanda-gawa River was dug between here and Hongodai. From the Meiji Era, the former sites of the residences of the direct samurai retainers of the Tokugawa shogunate were used to construct Meiji University, Nihon University and Chuo University, and the area became a students' quarter.

Kanda-Surugadai 神田駿河台 Kanda-Surugadai
is a district of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. It was so named because after Tokugawa Ieyasu's death in 1616, the Edo government let officials from Sunpu 駿府 (now Shizuoka) live in the area.
Kanda-Surugadai is often called Surugadai (駿河台 Surugadai) or, colloquially, Sundai (駿台 Sundai).

Surugadai Campus
is the traditional home to Meiji University. The campus is located in the Kanda Surugadai area which, while retaining a strong atmosphere of a students’ town, is located in proximity to Kasumigaseki, Otemachi, and other areas that are home to companies and government ministries and agencies that are pivotal to Japan’s politics and economy.

日本橋室町 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku
This road ran straight in the South-Western direction and provided a view to Edo Castle and Mount Fujisan.
It is named after the view of Mount Fujisan that was similar to the one in Suruga no Kuni, Shizuoka.
Since Suruga was the birthplace of the founder of the Edo Government, Tokugawa Ieyasu, this street was of special honor to the Edoites.

Ando Hiroshige
Suruga Province 駿河国 Suruga no kuni
was an old province in the area that is today the central part of Shizuoka Prefecture. Suruga bordered on Izu, Kai, Sagami, Shinano, and Tōtōmi provinces; and was bordered by the Pacific Ocean through Suruga Bay to the south.
Its abbreviated form name was Sunshū (駿州) Sunshu.
. . . During the Edo period, Suruga prospered due to its location on the Tōkaidō, and numerous post towns developed. For defensive purposes, the Tokugawa shogunate forbid the construction of bridges on the major rivers of Suruga Province (such as at the Ōi River), which further led to town development on the major river crossings.
During this period, the major urban center of Sunpu remained a tenryō territory, administered directly the Shōgun by the Sunpu jōdai, and several smaller feudal domains were assigned to close fudai retainers.

After the Iga and Koga ninja spies had come to Edo to serve the government, peace came and there was not so much to do for them any more. So on the evenings getting longer in autumn they would gather secretely and do some gambling.
「甲賀から江戸に出て、幕府に仕える忍者たちも、太平の世となった今は、得意の技を用いる機会もなく、秋の夜長のつれづれに、こっそり集まって賭け事に興じあっている」
