Yayoi, Tokyo
Yayoi (弥生) is a neighbourhood 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 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:[1])

All of Yayoi (1 and 2-chome) is zoned to Nezu Elementary School (根津小学校),[2] and No. 8 Junior High School (第八中学校).[3]
