Districts of BunkyōTokyo geography stubs

Yayoi (弥生) is a neighborhood in Bunkyo, Tokyo. In 1884, when it was part of Tokyo City, it was the location of a shell mound where a new type of pottery was discovered by Dr. Shogoro Tsuboi and his colleagues. The pottery became known as Yayoi, and eventually a period of Japanese prehistory was named after the neighborhood where the type site was excavated. Its population, not including non-Japanese residents, is 1,908. (Bunkyō City Hall statistics:)
