Remains of Kanda Hatchobori - Chiyoda City

This hesitation is not found, but the discovery of the joy is w

A dig was made after the fire at the station where there was another Hatchobori than Hatchobori at the station. It is said that it is currently reclaimed and it is a boundary between Chiyoda Ward and Chuo Ward.

It's a bit confusing ... The description board says as follows. The Edo fire on January 18, 1657, is commonly called Hongo furisode housework. In this great fire, the castle tower, Honmaru palace, etc. except the Nishimaru of Edo Castle were burned down. After that, the castle tower has not been rebuilt. Although there are differences depending on the materials, it is said that 160 daimyo mansions, more than 770 mansions below Hagimoto, 1200 town houses were burned down, and 100,000 people were killed even under the castle. After this great fire, a bank covering 8 chomes (about 870 m) was built to prevent fire. Around the 1683rd year (1683), a wide road (Meiji) was built near the bank. After that, when it was around 1691, the townsman himself borne the expense and excavated the excavation in the clear ground. This is Kanda Hatchobori. It was the boundary between Kanda and Nihonbashi. Also known as Shirogincho Hori, it was later named Ryukangawa and has become the ward boundary of Chiyoda Ward and Chuo Ward. The excavation was divided from the outer moat (current Nihonbashi River) to the east northeast around the south side of the joint government building in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo (2-chome, Kanda, Uchikanda, Chiyoda-ku). I turned from Higashi-Kanda 1-chome to south-southeast and poured it into Okawa (Sumidagawa). Later, from Higashi-Kanda 1-chome, a waterway running north-northwest was opened and connected to the Kanda River. From the west, Ryuga Bridge, Shirohata Bridge, Nishi Nakano Bridge, Imagawa Bridge, Higashi Nakano Bridge, Jizo Bridge, Hiyori Bridge, Kudo Bridge, Jinbei Bridge, Koide Bridge were built from the west, but after the end of the war It was abandoned when the moat was reclaimed. Jizo Bridge was once built around the area where this sign was built.

It looks like a moat (waterway) dug by the townspeople for disaster prevention. You can take a walk to feel the history.

It is a remnant of the bank for fire prevention, which was made after the Edo Great Fire (Hongou Furisode Fire) (January 18, 1657, 3 years). It seems that Hatchobori is from Hatcho (870 meters), and since it was excavated at the expense of the townsman later in 1692, it was named Kanda Hatchobori. Today, it is a small park and a signboard with no remnants, but it is a park where you can rest slowly.

Kanda Hatchobori trace Kanda Hatchobori Moat Site The Furisode Fire (Great Fire of Meireki) that occurred in 1657 (Meireki 3) caused great damage to Edo Castle and Edo City. After this great fire, a bank was built over Haccho (about 870 meters now Akichiru) for fire prevention, and a bright ground was created beside it. In 1691 (Genroku 4th year), the townspeople paid their own expenses to excavate a moat in the bright ground, and this was Kanda Hatchobori, also known as Kandabori or Ginbori. It was later named Ryukangawa and became the boundary between Chiyoda Ward and Chuo Ward. The moat branches off from the outer moat (currently Nihonbashi River) around the current Chiyoda Joint Government Building in Uchikanda 2-chome, continues east-northeast, and turns south-southeast from Higashi-Kanda 1-chome to Shinbori (later Hamamachi River). I was pouring into Okawa (now Sumida River). From the west, this moat was built by Ryukan Bridge, Beggar Bridge, Nakano Bridge, Imagawa Bridge, Higashi Nakano Bridge, Jizo Bridge, Waiting Bridge, Kudo Bridge, Jinbei Bridge, and Ghost Bridge. After the end of the war, in 1950 (Showa 25), the entire moat was reclaimed and the bridge disappeared.
