- Japanese: 駒込 (Komagome)
Komagome is an area of Tokyo which historically was home to a number of daimyo mansions and other samurai residences. These included the naka-yashiki ("middle residence") of the Maeda clan of Kaga han,[1] as well as a residence of the Mito Tokugawa clan.[2]
The Oiwake neighborhood within Komagome Village (then part of the city of Edo) was officially designated in 1618 as a district for kobito and chûgen (low-ranking samurai) residences. The neighborhood takes its name from its location at the division (wake) of the Nakasendô and Iwatsuki kaidô highways. It also contains a stone marker marking a one ri distance from Nihonbashi.[3]
