I want to go when I'm depressed! A street that makes you a little happy

[Hanes] January 8, 2019 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
As Yo-chan introduced on New Year's Eve, there are many routes in Chuo Ward, each of which has a nickname.

Among them, there are favorite streets that you want to go when you are personally depressed.
That's Yokadori (Happy Street)!
The starting point is Yaesu 1-chome 8 and the end point is Nihonbashi 3-chome 5.
It seems that Yaesu's "eight" and Nihonbashi's "day" were taken for eight days (happi).

It's a sound that makes you feel happy.
But it's a great deal, so please take a look at the English name.

HAPPY DORI ST.
Not only the sound, but it's a really happy street!
It's like a "small happiness discovery", but it's a street where you can relax.

Of course, there are also large streets in Chuo Ward where traffic restrictions are enforced at Hakone Ekiden, such as Kajibashi Dori and Chuo-dori.

However, when walking around the town, pay attention to the nicknames and characteristics of these streets.
I'm sure that walking around the town will be more fun
For those who live in Chuo-ku and those who come to Chuo-ku,
May 2019 be a happy year...
