Daikongashi 大根河岸 Daikon-gashi district
Chuo ward, 大根河岸 Kyobashi - Daikon Riverbank, Daikon Wharf



From the Edo period since 1664 till 1935 - for about 270 years, there was a part along the river 京橋川 Kyobashigawa and the bridge 紺屋橋 Konyabashi toward Kyobashi, where a vegetable market was held, the
Aomono Ichiba 青物市場 Vegetable market.

Since a lot of large radish was handled there, it was usually named
Daikongashi 大根河岸.

It was also called
Kyobashi Aomono Tabemono Gashi 京橋青物食物河岸 Kyobashi Riverbank Market for Vegetables and Food
since the market also sold fruit, fish and dried food.
After the Great Earthquake in Kanto 1923 new merchants came and 68 tonya 問屋 wholesale stores and
105 nakagai 仲買 broker stores were built.
In 1935, most were relocated to the 築地 Tsukiji Market.
The memorial stone for the Daikongashi market was erected in 1959.
