Owarichoo 尾張町 Owaricho district
Chuo, 銀座 Ginza fifth and sixth district
In the Edo period, there lived mostly townspeople and craftsmen in this area.
There were also many cloth and kimono shops, like 布袋屋 Hoteiya, 恵比寿屋 Ebisuya and 亀屋 Kameya.
Some craftsmen make special 雛人形 Hina dolls for the Hina Doll Festival.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu first came to Edo, this area was all sea, a great Inlet until Hibiya.
In 1603, Ieyasu ordered the landfills of this area. The Lord of Owari became the supervisor of the landfill here, hence the name of the area.
