Tamachi

Tamachi

Tamachi (田町) is the informal name for the area surrounding Tamachi Station in Minato, Tokyo, generally referring to the districts of Shiba, Shibaura and Mita. The name, meaning literally "field town", probably derives from the earlier presence of rice paddies.

History

During the Edo period Tamachi was a "hatamoto" residential quarter. Rice cultivation did not begin in the area until the Meiji period.

Surroundings

The headquarters of several major companies and organisations are located in this area, including Nippon Kinzoku, Morinaga and NEC.

Tamachi in fiction

In the anime series "Digimon Adventure 02", Tamachi is the home of the boy genius Ken Ichijouji.
