 Old Tokyo - Misc. Tokyo Bridges
Old Tokyo is a web site devoted to vintage hand-tinted postcard images of Tokyo, Japan, from around the turn of the 20th century (1903-1923).
Some people even referred to Tokyo as the "Venice of Asia." Low-lying ground near Tokyo Bay was criss-crossed with canals, and a series of moats, built as defensive approaches to Edo Castle, radiated out from the center of the Old City.
Shinbashi (the postcard uses the Tokyo pronunciation for "New Bridge") is a name familiar to all Tokyo-ites as it denotes both a district of the city and a well-known rail station on the Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines.

Tokyo Station was opened in 1914 with the completion of a section of line linking the Tōkaidō Main Line's original terminus at Shinbashi to the Tōhoku Main Line's terminus at Ueno.

 Kanda Myojin | Tokyo Sights & Activities | Fodor's Online Travel Guide
The townspeople of Kanda, contentious souls in their own right, made Taira-no-Masakado a kind of patron saint, and even today -- overlooking somehow the fact that he lost -- they appeal to him for victory when they face a tough encounter.
Shrine festivals like Kanda's are a peculiarly competitive form of worship: piety is a matter of who can shout the loudest, drink the most beer, and have the best time.
Kanda Myojin is on Kuramae-bashi-dori, about a five-minute walk west of the Suehiro-cho subway stop.

You know, it’s funny, but I was led to the section because while in another part of the store I could hear the Japanese women exclaiming something along the lines of “I found it, I found it” to her girlfriend.
One of the reasons Kanda-Jimbocho is my favorite Tokyo district, and why I spent so much time there during my first trip to Japan in 1997, is that along with its bevy of bookstores, there are several ukiyo-e (Japanese woodblock prints) galleries and ukiyo-e related bookstores.
But truth be told, I stopped in here because it maintains a special place in my Tokyo history, it being the first kaiten-sushi place that Naoko took me to during my first trip here in 1997 (though not my first ever Tokyo kaiten-sushi place; that honor goes to a relatively forgettable establishment in Roppongi).
