Nihonbashi Bakurochō (日本橋銬喰町), known in short as Bakurochō (銬喰町),[1] 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",[1] a reference to how it was formerly a center for selling and buying horses.[2]

It is known as a center for the textile trade.[1] 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.[3]

Education

Public elementary and junior high schools are operated by Chuo City Board of Education (䞭倮区教育委員䌚). Hisamatsu Elementary School (䞭倮区立久束小孊校) and Nihonbashi Junior High School (䞭倮区立日本橋䞭孊校) are the zoned public schools of Bakurochō. Bakurochō 1 and 2-chome can choose between Hisamatsu or Nihonbashi (䞭倮区立日本橋小孊校) elementary schools.[4]
