Kinshi 錦糸 Kinshi district - "brocade thread"
Sumida ward, Kinshi 一丁目 - 四丁目 first to fourth sub-district
former name 錦糸町 Kinshicho, Kinshimachi
The name goes back to the old canal 錦糸堀 Kinshibori.
Around 1660, the area of Honjo was developed and the Kinshibori canal built.
Some say it is a local dialect for 岸堀 Kishibori "canal at the shore".
Another possibility mentions kinshi 琴糸 strings for a Koto, that were made nearby.
In the ghost stories of 本所七不思議 Honjo Nanafushigi is the canal
置いてけぼり / おいてけ堀 Oitekebori, said to have been the Kinshibori.
. Oitekebori, Oiteke-bori 置いてけ堀 / 置行堀 / 置いてけぼり "leave it behind - canal" .
This canal is near Kinshicho 錦糸町.
The fishermen heard the call to "leave it behind" and threw their catch back in the water or left their baskets just standing there.
One legend advises to throw three fish back into the canal. If you do not do so, you will get lost on your way back home and wander around the whole night.
kinshi 禁止 "don't do this" ... turned into 錦糸.
One legend tells of a 河童 Kappa, who took the catch.
It even got its own statue in the 錦糸堀公園 Kinshibori Park.

KINSHICHO / KAMEIDO
... When we get off the train at Kinshicho Station, we first head towards the shopping in the buildings lined up outside of the South Exit. There is a monument in memory of Ito Sachio inscribed with one of his poems. Believe it or not, back during the Meiji Period (1868-1912), this area mainly was used for ranches. Ito wrote various works during his time while running a cow-milking business here.
Termina, a department store directly connected to the station, offers everything from clothing, to household goods, to groceries. The adjacent amusement facility of Tokyo Rakutenchi offers saunas and natural hot spring baths as a way to relax after your shopping and enjoying things like the movie theaters and bowling alleys.
WINS Kinshicho,
off-track horse racing and betting, is located on Keiyo Road across from the station rotary. Just behind the building sits Koto-ji temple. Kobayashi Ichizo, a businessman who developed the Tokyo Rakutenchi (noted before), built this temple wishing for the city's development and enshrined Koto Kannon in the temple. The horse-headed deity Bato Kannon can also be found on the grounds and just may have some connection with the nearby WINS complex.
Oiteke-bori
A five-minute walk to the south of Kinshicho Station takes us to Kinshibori Park. A statue of a kappa (a river monster) stands at this site that was previously the Kinshi-bori moat, or more popularly known as "Oiteke-bori."
According to one of the local ghost stories, "The Seven Mysteries of Honjo," back during the Edo Period (1603-1867), some people were out fishing in the moat and caught an abnormally large amount of fish one day. Just as they were about to happily go home with their big catch, a scary voice was came from somewhere inside the moat saying, "Oiteke! (Leave your things and get out of here!)" Everyone was terrified but still took their fish baskets and hurried home.
Upon arrival, they reluctantly opened their fish baskets only to find them completely empty. ...
