| Town Planning - street arrangements The town was developed in all directions around Koushouji Betsuin Buddhist Temple or Tondabayashi Gobo, laying out the grid-shaped town plan with seven streets called suji and eight avenues called cho. Suji runs north to south and Cho runs east to west. The seven streets of suji are, in order from east to west, Higashi-suji, Kamegasaka-suji, Jyounomon-suji, Tomi-suji, Ichiba-suji and Nishi-suji. The remaining suji was a little narrower in width than the others and its trace and name was disappeared. The eight avenues of cho, in order from north to south, are Ichiriyama-cho, Tomiyama-cho, Kita Kaisho-cho (north Kaisho-cho), Minami Kaisho-cho (south Kiasho-cho), Sakai-cho, Gobo-cho, Nishi Hayashi-cho (West Hayashi-cho) and Higashi Hayashi-cho (east Hayashi-cho). Hayashi-cho was divided into the east one and the west one during the period of 1753-1778 and then the town has eventually consisted of six streets of suji and eight avenues of cho. |
