From Wikipedia

Chūō (中央区, Chūō-ku; Japanese pronunciation: [c̟͡ɕɨ̀ɨ́.ó̞ò̞(.kɯ̈̀), -ó̞ó̞, c̟͡ɕɨ́ɨ́-]) is a special ward in the Tokyo Metropolis in Japan. The ward refers to itself in English as Chūō City. It was formed in 1947 as a merger of Kyōbashi and Nihonbashi wards following Tokyo City's transformation into Tokyo Metropolis. Chūō-ku, as a combination of Kyōbashi and Nihonbashi, is the core of Shitamachi, the original downtown center of Edo-Tokyo.
