Nihonbashi literally means Japan Bridge and gets its name from the bridge in the area that acted as a zero kilometre marker for Japans national highway since the 1600s. Considered to be the “center” of Japan, it acts as a financial district for Tokyo but is also rooted in rich history and tradition. Much of the shops in the area have been in business for over 300 years! This classy, high-end district is a unique place to shop for old-traditional goods and foods.
