History
History
The street corresponds to the Sanjō Ōji street of the Heian-kyō, being at that time 30 meters wide. During the Muromachi period the Sanjō Bridge was constructed in order to facilitate the crossing of military horses. During the Edo period the Sanjō Bridge became the final point of the 53 stations of the Tōkaidō, being separated from Edo by a distance of 490 km. After the Meiji period several western style buildings were constructed along the street, many remaining to this day.
