Kikuichoo 喜久井町 Kikuicho district
Shinjuku, no sub-districts



The Natsume family lived in this district since the Edo period.
The father of the famous author Natsume Soseki, 夏目小兵衛直克 Natsume Kohei Naokatsu named the area after the family crest
igata ni kiku (i no kiku) 井桁に菊 well pattern 井 with chrysanthemum 菊.



He choose the characters 喜久 Ki Ku instead of 菊 kiku for chrysanthemum, to express his love for literature and auspicious meanings.

Natsume Sōseki wrote about this district in his novel
. 硝子戸の中 Inside My Glass Doors in 1915.

今私の住んでゐる近所に喜久井町といふ町がある。
これは私の生れた所だから、ほかの人よりもよく知つてゐる。(中略)この町は江戸と云つた昔には、多分存在してゐなかつたものらしい。江戸が東京に改まつた時か、それともずつと後になつてからか、年代はたしかに分らないが、何でも私の父が拵えたものに相違ないのである。私の家の定紋が井桁に菊なので、それにちなんだ菊に井戸を使つて、喜久井町としたといふ話は、父自身の口から聴いたのか、または他のものから教はつたのか、何しろ今でもまだ私の耳に残つてゐる。父は名主がなくなつてから、一時区長といふ役を勤めてゐたので、あるいはそんな自由も利いたかも知れないが、それを誇にした彼の虚栄心を、今になつて考へて見ると、厭な心持は疾くに消え去つて、ただ微笑したくなるだけである

Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー
is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan.
It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 metres (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the second tallest structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m/2,722 ft).
The tower
is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on Leap Day, 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012. The tower is the centerpiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station.
The complex is 7 km (4.3 mi) north-east of Tokyo Station.

- quote -
The principal god of Akaiiwa Shrine is Okuninushi.
The shrine also enshrines the gods of Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Inatahime-no-Mikoto. According to myth, Okuninushi in his younger days incurred the enmity of his brothers over Yakamihime and met his death in this area after a large rock that burned red was dropped on him. However, he was then supposedly revived by his mother. Worshippers from inside and outside the prefecture come to pray for recovery at this shrine that is called the setting of recovery and rebirth.
