You can reach the center of the Nihonbashi district by taking the Ginza, Tozai, or Asakusa subway lines to Nihonbashi Station, or the Hanzomon and Ginza lines to Mitsukoshimae Station, or by walking 5-10 minutes from Tokyo Station's Nihonbashi Exit.





Nihonbashi
Nihonbashi (日本橋, literally "Japan Bridge"), Tokyo's historic commercial hub, blends Edo Period charm with modern elegance. Named after the iconic "Japan Bridge," this district has been a symbol of commerce and culture since the Edo Period, marked as kilometer zero for Japan's highways. Today, it offers a delightful mix of centuries-old shops, vibrant streets, and the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi, Japan's first department store, still standing as a centerpiece of tradition and sophistication.
Recent redevelopment has brought a modern twist to Nihonbashi with attractions like the Coredo Muromachi complex. These skyscrapers feature traditional Edo-inspired designs, showcasing crafts, delicacies, and local specialties from across Japan. Nihonbashi is a must-visit for history lovers and modern explorers alike.
