Many contribute this to its bridge which made for easier access in the days of difficult transportation means. Many shopping companies have stationed their main stores in the district due to its great population among residents and tourists of Japan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of Nihonbashi==&lt;br /&gt;

The district of Nihonbashi became extremely popular in the late [[1800’s]] because of its famous Nihonbashi Bridge. In fact, it has been recorded as one of the earliest real shopping districts in all of Japan, something the residents are quite proud of. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early [[1900’s]] the Nihonbashi Bridge was covered by a usable highway which currently stands in its place. This opened the district up to even more economic growth and popularity for its incredible shopping districts. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
