Tucked between Kameido and Kinshicho along the Yokojukken River, this understated monument marks the site of a pivotal 17th-century mint that produced over a billion copper coins during the Tokugawa shogunate. Sculpted in the likeness of an iconic round Kan’ei Tsūhō coin complete with its traditional square center hole and historic mintmark, the site offers a fascinating tribute to Japan's mercantile past. Numismatists and curious travelers strolling off the beaten path will appreciate this unique relic and its accompanying decorative street tiles.
