Atago shita Yabukoji 愛宕下藪小路 Yabukoji Street Below Atago Hill
Atagoshita and Yabu lane / Yabu Street at the foot of Atago Hill
Hiroshige 広重1
- quote -
This was the name for a low-lying area from present day Minato Ward Shinbashi to Nishi Shinbashi, sandwiched between the east side of Mt. Atago and the Tokaido Highway.
There were a large number of Daimyo (feudal lords) residences, including the residence of Tamura Takeaki (Ukyo Dayu) the first head of the Ichinoseki Clan who carried out the seppuku of Ako Clan head Asano Naganori (Takumi no Kami) who perpetrated the incident of the attack within Edo Castle which resulted in series of events involving the 47 Ronin, as well as the residence of Toyama Kagemoto famous from the novel "Toyama no Kin san".

Yabukooji, Yabukōji 藪小路 Yabukoji alley district, "bamboo thicket"
Minato ward, 虎ノ門 Toranomon first sub-district
Named after a takeyabu 竹藪 bamboo thicket.
An alley along the river 桜川 Sakuragawa. Once a hawk had died in this thicket and it was not cut down any more after that.
It is also in the kimon 鬼門 un-auspicious direction of Edo castle and bamboo had not been cut here.
The estate of 加藤家屋敷 the Kato clan had been here in 1714, but they left the bamboo thicket untouched. Thus the area was also called
藪加藤 Yabu Kato.
After the Meiji restauration, part of the alley had been reconstructed and the estate changed into a shopping street. Now only the paintings remain of the good old times.
