Nihonbashi Bakurochō
Nihonbashi Bakurochō, known in short as Bakurochō, is a neighborhood in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
It is at the intersection of the Kanda River and the Sumida River. Its name means "horse trader town", a reference to how it was formerly a center for selling and buying horses.
It is known as a center for the textile trade. Additionally, Matjaz Ursic and Heide Imai, in Creativity in Tokyo: Revitalizing a Mature City, stated that the concentration of hotels, stemming from lodging needed for horse trading, gave the Bakurochō area fame.
