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.
