It has become quite famous that Shibuya's scramble intersection looks fresh and cool to travelers from abroad, but when I first heard it, "Eh? What's better at that chased intersection?" I guess there were many people who thought it. At least I was one of them.
When overseas people say, "I want to touch Japanese things because I came to Japan," something that becomes "Japanese-like" may be too blended into our daily lives and it may be difficult to notice on the contrary. However, if you can feel attractive in everyday life, not only the famous shrines and temples, but also the buildings that everyone knows, this is an excellent content for us that you can enjoy without straining.
By the way, this time, I would like to approach the "back alley" of Chuo-ku. Just a daily life there. But for some reason, I think it's good to have a nostalgic place, but how does it appear in foreigners (of course, depending on the country)?
In addition, the back alley here is a road with "the width of the road that does not face the main street and does not allow cars to enter". Street corners that left a Showa-like atmosphere (facing the car street) are not eligible this time even if they have a taste.
First of all, "the royal road behind the alley" ... it's a contradictory phrase, but isn't that the position behind the alley in Ningyocho? Great Kannon Terawaki is lined with historical and elegant buildings in narrow alleys where cars cannot enter, and mamachari is placed so as to sew between them. On both sides, potted green is accompanied by Aya. A refined space that seems to have a sense of life and has no trash when you look at your feet. Well, it's too bad. Even on tours that guide foreigners by bicycle, it seemed that many people took this camera.
Next, I will go to Tsukishima. This is Ginza behind the alley! It is a treasure trove behind the alley that makes you want to shout. The living roads on the left and right of Monja Street (Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori), which is famous for monjayaki, create the atmosphere of the back alley as it is. In Chuo-ku, where redevelopment is progressing one after another, the space between buildings is countless, but the number of places that invite nostalgia as a living road is decreasing, 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 cars can be reached, and surprisingly it was difficult to find "behind narrow alleys", but in this neighborhood lined with long-established Tsukudaniya-san, the scent of Showa drifts with the scent of Tsukudani and the scent of Showa. It's the right way to enjoy it to buy Tsukudani as a souvenir in such a space.
