Year of Naming: 1993 Ginza-Gasuto-dori extending from Ginza 3 to 4-Chome was established as a “shindo” between the time of the Great Fire of Meireki and the Genroku Imperial Era (1688 through 1704). Other new streets were also formed during the Edo Period. The name “Ginza-Gasuto-dori St.” was finalized in 1993. At the same time, four replicas of gas lanterns used on Ginza-dori since 1874 were installed. These even run on real gas. When onlookers gaze into the flames of these lanterns, they almost feel as though they have been transported back in time to the Ginza-dori of the late 1800s.
