No.101 Shin-kiba (The timber circulation base)

(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).


The signboard in Shinkiba station "Wood"



"Shin-kiba" is the area to have admitted the place which was a No. 14 landfill to Koto Ward in 1972 and it is the place where the service of the timber circulation base is moving ahead instead of "the lumberyard". The lumberyard made the timber place (the lumber storage) which was around Nihonbashi and Kanda in the Edo period, being the area which exists in the place to have been needed by the about 2-km northnorthwest move intensively and is the beginning. After that, it undertook the demand of the timber at the Tokyo harbor until recently. However, as for Koto Ward which included the narrow-ization of the site by the increase of the demand of the timber of having become an inland place with the development of the landfill and moreover the neighborhood of the lumberyard, too, it moves a timber circulation base from the viewpoint of the radical disaster prevention measure to Shin-kiba because the ground is low and the wooden crowds and the present Shin-kiba has been complete.

In Shinkiba station, when getting off, the fragrance of the wood has an offensive smell. There are a showroom of the timber and so on, too, and the one about the tree can obtain all ones. It is different from Odaiba and the bloody Tokyo harbor can be appreciated in Shin-kiba. The Tokyo heliport, the campsite and Wakasu which juxtaposes the only Metropolitan area golf course, Yume-no-shima which could be reclaimed with the garbage and so on exist nearby.
