元柳町 Motoyanagicho、大工町 Daikucho、畳町 Tatamicho、
新柳町 Shinyanagicho、増山町 Masuyamacho
大工町より一本西側にある南北の通りが畳町になります。
江戸期から昭和37年にかけての町名で、武田氏時代に造営された町のひとつです。
町名の由来は大工町と同じく、武田氏時代に畳職人の居住地として指定されたことによります。大工町と大きく違うのは、甲府城が築城されてからは、職人のほとんどが下府中へと移っており、寛延４（1751）年に畳職人は全くいなかったそうです。大正10年の地図では、三の堀が町を東西へ横断しているのが見えます。ほとんどが暗渠化されている三の堀ですが、畳町でははっきりと確認することが出来ます。

Kyobashi - Home of Edo's Craftsmen
The Tokaido is the main highway between Edo and Western Japan. Here in the downtown area of the city, though, it looks like just one more busy city street. As we get closer to the center of town, the streets which cross the Tokaido become broader and the buildings that line the streets become larger and more imposing. Most of the buildings on the main roads are large stores or the homes some of the city's more prosperous merchants. Kyobashi is the general name given to a large area of low-lying land that makes up one of the key commercial districts of Edo. The district occupies the flat land immediately to the West of Edo castle, and is an important center of the city's economy.
However, the reason why Kyobashi is such an important part of Edo's economy is that many communities of craftsmen and artisans live in the area. The people who practice each type of craft tend to gather together in certain neighborhoods, and for this reason, many neighborhoods in the Kyobashi area are named after the type of craftsmen who live there.
A few examples are:
Tatami-machi -- Mat-maker's village
Oke-machi -- Bucket-maker's village
Minami Daiku-machi -- South carpenter's village
Minami Kaji-machi -- South blacksmith's village
Teppo-machi -- Gunsmith's village
