Kajichō (鍛冶町) is a district of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. It consists of Kajichō 1-chōme and Kajichō 2-chōme. This article also explains about Kanda-Kajichō (神田鍛冶町), which today only has Kanda-Kajichō 3-chōme. As of April 1, 2007, the total population of the two districts is 371.
These districts are located on the northeastern part of Chiyoda. The combined area of Kajichō and Kanda-Kajichō borders Kanda-Sudachō to the north, Kanda-Higashimatsushitachō, Kanda-Tomiyamachō, Kanda-Konyachō, Kanda-Kitanorimonochō, Kanda-Nishifukudachō and Kanda-Mikurachō to the east, Nihonbashi-Muromachi, Nihonbashi-Hongokuchō and Nihonbashi-Honchō to the south, and Uchi-Kanda and Kanda-Tsukasachō to the west.
Modernization of addressing system has already been enforced in Kajichō 1-chōme and Kajichō 2-chōme but not yet in Kanda-Kajichō 3-chōme. Formerly, Kajichō 1-chōme and Kajichō 2-chōme were "Kanda-Kajichō 1-chōme" and "Kanda-Kajichō 2-chōme," respectively. In general, a districts with "Kanda-" prefix represents that the district belonged to the former Kanda Ward (神田区, Kanda-ku) and is yet to undergo addressing system modernization.
Kajichō and Kanda-Kajichō are business districts near Kanda Station, home to a number of office buildings and stores. Kanda Station is located on the west edge of Kajichō. In Edo-era Japan, Kajichō was the home to craftsmen, such as carpenters, lacquerers, and smiths.[1] As a result, it was partitioned into small properties, and today has many small buildings, home to restaurants and other businesses, making a strong contrast with the skyscrapers of the former samurai district in neighboring Nihonbashi such as the Bank of Japan headquarters.
Education
Chiyoda Board of Education [ja] operates public elementary and junior high schools. Chiyoda Elementary School (千代田小学校) is the zoned elementary school for Kajichō 1-2 chōme and Kanda-Kajichō 3-chōme.[2] There is a freedom of choice system for junior high schools in Chiyoda Ward, and so there are no specific junior high school zones.[3]
