It has become quite famous that the scramble intersection in Shibuya looks fresh and cool to travelers from abroad, but when I first heard it, "Eh? What's better at that chased crossroads?" Wasn’t there more people who thought? At least I was one of them.
What is "Japanese" when people overseas say, "I came to Japan, so I want to touch something Japanese," may be too integrated into our daily lives and it may be difficult to notice. However, if you can feel charm in everyday life, not only famous shrines and temples, but also buildings that everyone knows, this is an excellent content for us that you can enjoy without stretching your shoulders.
By the way, this time, I would like to approach the "back alley" in Chuo-ku. Just everyday there. But for some reason, I think a place where nostalgia is good, but how does it look to foreigners (of course, it will differ greatly from country to country)?
In addition, the back alley here is a road with a "road width that does not face the main street and cannot enter by car". The street corner (facing the car street) that left a Showa-like atmosphere is not targeted this time even if it has a taste.
First of all, it is a contradictory phrase that is "the royal road behind the alley" ... Isn't it such a position behind the alley in Ningyocho? Great Kannon Terawaki is a mamachari placed in a narrow alley where cars can not enter, with historical and tasteful buildings lined up between them. There are potted greens attached to both sides with Aya. A sophisticated space that seems to have a sense of life, and there is no garbage to look at your feet. Yeah, I hate too much... It seemed that there were not many people who took this camera on a tour to guide foreigners by bicycle.
Next, I'm going to Tsukishima. This is Ginza behind the alley! It is a treasure trove behind the alley that makes you want to scream. The left and right living roads of Monja Street (Tsukishima Nishinaka Street), which is famous for Monjayaki, create a back alley as it is. In Chuo-ku, where redevelopment is progressing one after another, there are countless spaces between buildings and buildings, but there are fewer places that invite nostalgia as living roads, but this is already a hangout behind the alley. Let's register in the Red Data Book now.
Finally, I went to Tsukuda. There are many street corners where car streets can be made, and I had a hard time finding the "narrow alley back", but in this area, lined with long-established Tsukudaniya, the scent of Showa drifts along with the scent of Tsukudani. It's the right way to enjoy buying tsukudani as a souvenir for such a space and returning home.
