Name and Logomark

The name Kyobashi Saiku( “sai” in “saiku” means “variety” or “diversity,” and “ku” means “block” in Japanese) was given in the hope that people will have the chance to experience and interact with diverse art and culture in Kyobashi.
The logomark is designed by combining two Japanese characters “彩” (diversity) and “区” (block). It symbolizes a scene of people gathering around the block and of Kyobashi becoming active and glowing in vivid colors.

History

This district was developed in two phases. Kyobashi Saiku Area Management, a general incorporated association was established in April 2019 to promote area management of the block. During the first phase, Museum Tower Kyobashi was completed in July, 2019 and Artizon Museum (formerly Bridgestone Museum of Art) opened on its lower floors in January 2020.

Toda Building was completed in September 2024 during the second phase and its opening in November 2024 will mark the grand opening of Kyobashi Saiku.

About the Kyobashi area

During the Edo period, the Tokaido Road passed through Kyobashi and the area bustled with local merchants and craftsmen. The name “Kyobashi” comes from the first bridge people crossed when traveling from Nihombashi, the starting point of the Tokaido Road, toward Kyoto.

In the Meiji and Taisho periods, Kyobashi was a commercial district connecting Nihombashi and Ginza. Companies increasingly moved there from the Showa era onwards – due to its proximity to Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Nihombashi – and transformed Kyobashi into a business district lined with office buildings.
Higashinaka-dori street, commonly known as “Kotto-dori” (antique street), has been home to many antique dealers since before WWII, creating an atmosphere unique to Kyobashi.

Kyobashi blends tradition and culture passed down through the ages with new vitality.
