This region was a low ground that had been placed between the Shingashi river and Arakawa river.
It suffered from a flood damage and constant agricultural rainwater shortage from of old.
"Hi" means waterway and sluice for millrace and drainage exclusion,too.
This "Hi" was used for the drainage exclusion and the flood defense in Edo period.
It was repaired from wooden to the brick at the Meiji era.
At that time, a large gate and a small gate were amalgamated.
You may see the remnants of an old waterway and sluice in the vicinity.

東武東上線志木駅が最寄り駅となります。
大小合併門樋にキャッシュはあります。
スモールですが、筆記用具持参でお願いいたします。
この地域は新河岸川と荒川に挟まれた低地であり古くから水害に悩まされていました。
悪水排除と洪水防止のため、江戸時代からあった木製の用排水路を、明治期にレンガにて作り変えたものです。
レンガ造りにする際、大小二つの樋が一つになったことからこの名前となりました。
