Iwamotocho 

 

Iwamotocho Station is located in the Iwamotocho district of Chiyoda Ward of Tokyo, and is served by the Toei Shinjuku Line.

 

Iwamotocho is situated in the northeastern part of Chiyoda ward. Although some parts of Iwamotocho have undergone modernization, other parts still retain the Edo touch. The older part of Iwamotocho is known for its fabric and apparel stores. It was during the Edo period (1600-1867) that the area had developed into a fabric specialty area. Today there are over a hundred shops that sell fabric and apparel mainly to retailers. Twice every year, in June and December, a family bazaar is held in the area featuring discounts of up to 70%.

 

The south of Iwamotocho is known for its hardware wholesale stores.
