Near Oimachi station in Tokyo's Shinagawa ward you get to see...



...Nikon street









The street leads you from Oimachi station to Ohi plant, completed in 1933. I guess it was nicknamed after the presumably high number of Nikon workers going through for their daily work.

Wow, that's cool.
Japanese cities don't generally have names of the streets though, right?

 

[Vapour]

Right, but some (specially in shopping areas) get nicknames.
