Celebrating 80 Years of Minato's Local Governance

The Minato City District is commemorating its 80th anniversary with a special project: the release of "Azabu Nostalgic Street Name Stickers." This initiative, part of the "Azabu District Community Business Revitalization Project," introduces a collection of stickers that celebrate both the history and present identity of the Azabu area. A total of 27 unique street name stickers will be available for purchase in a capsule toy format, starting on June 5, 2026.

A Link Between the Past and Present

The city's history is reflected in the street names that once graced the neighborhood but have since faded into memory. Each sticker showcases a former street name that still resonates within the community, either as a neighborhood association name or a local intersection. The aim is to evoke feelings of nostalgia for long-time residents while providing younger generations with a fresh perspective on their local heritage.
