Etymology

In the late Edo period, the present-day Uchiwaisaichō area was a part of the Hibiya area with many daimyō's mansions and was located within the outer moat of the Edo Castle.

After the Meiji Restoration, it was known for a time as Uchiyamashita-cho before the name "Uchisaiwaichō" was adopted after its location between Saiwaibashi Bridge (幸橋, Saiwaibashi) on the Outer Moat and Saiwai Gate (幸御門, Saiwai-gomon). It was the original home of the Tokyo National Museum.
