History
The center of the finance and the commerce of Nagoya was the circumference of Tenmacho- Hommachi crossing till the middle of Meiji Era(1868-1912). The head office of a bank, the branch, and the securities exchange were being accumulated. After the Nagoya station started business and the Hirokoji street was extended west, when the streetcar was opened for traffic between Nagoya station-Hisaya in 1898, the center of the finance and the commerce of Nagoya began to move to Sakaemachi. The Bank of Japan Nagoya branch relocated to the sakaemachi(sakae) crossing northeast angle in 1897, and Ito-Gofukuten relocated to the sakaemachi(sakae) crossing southwest angle. The new store was the first department store in Nagoya. The head office and the branch of main banks also took out the store, and the Sakaemachi(Sakae) circumference became the shopping quarter representing Nagoya.
1970 When Japan was continuing high growth of the economy, the sunday promenadea walk started. Although continued till 1984, it was stopped for traffic increase.It has revived in 2012.
