Traveller's Sentiment

  Nawatedori street make visitors feel some traveller's sentiment. There we would feel as if we were in the fair of a temple or a shrine, out of the daily life.
  Walking the street, I imagine Nakamise-arcade of Sensoji in Asakusa or shop-houses in front of Taishakuten in Katsushika-Shibamata.
  Every shop-house standing on the riverside of Metoba-gawa is tiny. Each would take a role of stall for tourists. That samll shops get together along the street let us feel as if many open-stalls stood in a fair.
  Someone would feel as if they were in a cheap confectionary shop ―Dagashiya― in their childhood.

■Town Next to Shrine and River■

  You had better walk this street, feeling as if you were a little child with full curiosity. Then you would find so many things joyful.
  You would look up the open sky over the low rooves along the street and lok down the pavement. Behind the shops the river called Metoba- gawa runs. You would feel a sense of release.


▲An antique shop shows things in disorder.

▲Tiny restaurants get together along the path

  It may be interesting to lay your eyes on the paths crossing Nawate- dori. Among them I recommend to get into Nawate-Yokocho along which many tiny popular restaurants, home cook, Yakitoriya and Yakinikuya or so, are standing side by side.


▲An approaching way to the shrine crossing Nawate st. through a bridge

  As Nawate street is crossing the approaching way to Yohashira Jinja, it's fun walking around the precincts of it. Yohashira means, immediately the four pillars, but deeply four great Gods who formed Japan country in ancient myth.
  Or would you like to walk down to the shore of Metoba-gawa, for there are several stairways down there ?


▲Behind the shop-houses runs Metobagawa through.
