Yo yo yo, just updated my blog with a new article about the area of Tōkyō called Uchisaiwai-chō. I was wondering about the derivation of this weird place name because it looks like "Inner Happy Town." But actually the name derives from a gate of Edo Castle. Woo-hoo!


You can check it here: https://markystar.wordpress.com/2015/03/21/what-does-uchisaiwaicho-mean-2/


Feel free to comment on the blog itself. Or if the article sucks, you can say that too.
Also, at the bottom right hand corner is a list of the 50 most recent articles and a search field to look for past articles.
