Kazusaya is located in Nihombashi, a prestigious business district in Tokyo that dates back to the early 17th century. For over 400 years, Nihombashi has been a key area of business, trade and culture, and today it stands as one of Japan’s most important commercial and financial centers.
The bridge from which Nihombashi takes it’s name is also “kilometer zero” for all of Japan, making it the point from which all highways are measured. As a result, Nihombashi has become a symbolic center of both Tokyo and Japan as a whole.
