This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.♪
The new year has passed quickly, and my daughter Azuki's life as a third-year elementary school student has been less than three months.
It's fast. It's too early!

"Oh, was there an elephant? ？」
・・Azuki, first of all, it was from there!
Speaking of which, I haven't used Hamacho Station very much recently.
And when using Hamacho Station, we often use elevators.
You may not use the green road extending from the main gate of Hamacho Park.
I often passed by like turning my back to the signboard.
So, I didn't even recognize this sign properly.
That's right.
Please refer to the map above and be careful not to overlook it.
On the back side of the direction trying to get on the elevator at Exit A2 at Hamacho Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line.
When you go up the stairs exit of "A2 Exit", turn left and you will be in front of you.
That's right.
I'm a neighbor, so I actually check the signboard for the correct answer.
"The answer is ... 3!" 。 It might be quite amazing!'
Yes, the correct answer was "I"!
