"Keisei-Nakagumi" is a bus stop of the route Kusa-43/草43) operated by ToeiBus between Asakusa Kaminarimon and Adachi-Kuyakusho.
This stop stands in front of the Keisei Senju-Ohashi Station. We usually think the name of the railway station should be used, but this has original name "Keisei-Nakagumi". Keisei means the company name of the railway, and "Nakagumi" means Central area as the name around here on the era of Edo. For your reference the area of modern-day of Kitasenju is called "Kita-gumi", the one of Minamisenju is called "Minami-gumi" The name of Nakagimi disappered 99% nowadays except for the name of this bus stop.
On the other hand "Senju-Ohashi" bus stop exists, but this name of the stop means "Senhu-Ohashi Bridge". Next stop of Keisei-Nakagumi.
These names often make us confuse...
