Because there are many Temples, such as Sensoji, Kaneiji, and Oiran-Geisya spots around Okachimachi, fixing their accessories, combs Temple tools were major industry in this area. After Meiji restoration, those samurai craft men became Jewelry fixer. This is the beginning of Okachimachi as Jewelry district.
