Ueno for the first time in a while.
As I was walking through the JR exit from the Hibiya Line,
In line with the renovation of the old Ueno Station, the Ueno underground passage has become very beautiful.
And I was impressed by how artistic it was.
A huge poster of KISS's performance in Japan was displayed.
Even though I saw an old man with heavy makeup in the morning,
Once, when a drummer here came to the store without makeup,
It's obvious, but I didn't know who it was,
I remember when I was in my twenties and I thought some kind of bad prank was being set on me with the old man who was my translator.
I got off at Ueno Station at 7:30 in the morning for the first time in my life,
Ueno, which is already crowded, is nearly deserted in the early morning.
A large flock of crows flocking to the garbage on Saturday pollutes the city,
It doesn't really bother me because it's a city that is the opposite of "pretty" to begin with.
In Tokyo, the temperature gradually rises as the sun rises,
This day is very cool, comfortable, and above all refreshing.
Autumn is approaching,
I get strangely excited when the seasons change, so I came up with this idea...
“Let’s walk to Tsukiji!”
I think people who are familiar with the land will understand,
Tsukiji is extremely far from Ueno and is not a walking distance.
A normal person would consider it a waste of time and energy.
Tokyo is one of the most populous cities in the world.
With a population of approximately 14 million people (about the same as Kyushu),
It's not uncommon for people to have two or three screws loose in their head.
I don't just walk without any purpose,
This is a survey that can be used for future prospects.
It's not like I'm walking a horrifyingly long distance for no reason.
If you think of maintaining your health as well as collecting information that can be used in your work,
You're lucky enough to pick up 1,000 yen on the street.
Well, what I can say is that the area around Ueno feels like the Showa era even in the Reiwa era.
Akihabara hasn't changed much since the beginning of the Heisei era.
As for Kanda Station, the area around the station is a cheaper version of Shinbashi.
It's actually a nice place with a downtown feel, but it's not near the station.
This time I walked along Chuo Dori from Ueno,
There are streets that change and there are streets that remain the same.
What is unique to Tokyo is that people gather along each station.
In Ueno, the relatively young generation
Akihabara is home to otaku from a wide range of generations.
I don't know what they're doing since early morning, but they gather together.
They all seem to be enjoying their own idea of "freedom", but
An old man around 40 years old who came from Fukuoka,
Even Tendo-sama wouldn't notice that we were heading for Tsukiji from Ueno.
After about an hour of walking, we arrived at our destination, Nihonbashi.
The photo is taken from the Kyobashi River, so it may differ from the content, but
It is also the starting point for going up and down the expressway.
Nihonbashi, Tokyo is the center of Edo.
Some people have family lines that have been passed down from generation to generation,
For those who have increased their commute due to one of the best developments in Tokyo,
It's probably the center of Tokyo that has changed the most in the last 20 years...
Chuo Dori looks like New York when photographed from the Kanda side.
I've never been there, so I don't know.
As soon as you step inside, you'll see historic buildings and more.
Personally, I think it's a hidden tourist attraction that includes the former Bank of Japan.
While there are new office buildings and shopping buildings,
There are also old-fashioned shops,
I feel like it's safe to say that old and new Tokyo are gathered here.
I'm sure this shrine has a history of several hundred years,
Behind it is a skyscraper that is so tall that it cannot be seen even if you look up.
An indescribably strange sight,
The atmosphere makes you feel the weight of Nihonbashi's history.
For some reason, Nihonbashi is a place where the "real rich" living in Tokyo gather,
Such people don't really want to accept outsiders, so
I wonder if people gathered in the neighboring town of Ginza...
I was walking while having this wild fantasy,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that the center of Nihonbashi has a different atmosphere.
Once I got to Kyobashi, the air felt a little lighter.
But after just a short walk,
The image of Nihonbashi has changed greatly,
It seems like it has become very urban.
I think things have changed since Coredo opened in Muromachi.
There are now three coredo buildings.
It's amazing how much the city has developed in such a short period of time.
Oh, by the way, even though it's called "Nihonbashi", there are various addresses.
Muromachi is also more precisely Nihonbashi Muromachi.
There are also other places such as Ningyocho, Hamacho, Kakigaracho and Bakurocho.
Nihonbashi ○○ is quite large,
Because each town has its own face,
If you're going on a trip, visiting Nihonbashi should be quite interesting.
Personally, I think Ningyocho and Hamacho are filled with a downtown atmosphere.
There are new shops as well as old-fashioned shops that are typical of the downtown area.
It's fun because you can go around the shops of the craftsmen.
But thanks to this long walk, I'm starting to see a little bit more about what's to come.
I'm sure there will be fun things ahead,
You should be able to provide something fun.
This day is the starting point,
A small stream eventually becomes large.
I arrived at Tsukiji with such a premonition in mind.
