In this video we’ll show you Yushima (湯島), Tokyo.
Yushima (湯島) is a district of Bunkyo Ward. Although it has never (at least in recorded history) been an island, it is apparently so named because it appeared as if it was an island when viewed from the sea. To the modern visitor, this maybe hard to imagine as modern day Yushima is many kilometres from the sea due to constant reclamation in Tokyo over the last 400 years. The origin of the first character in the place name – which means ‘hot water’ is not known.
* We used "Osmo Action" this time.
