Pleasantly Lost in Minowa
I have been on a mission this summer to visit neighborhoods in Tokyo that I have never visited before. I want to expand my urban view of my adoptive home. Where are those interesting hoods? So, after a bit of searching I set my sights on the old neighborhood of Minowa.
Minowa lies only a few stations from the bustle of Ueno, but it might as well have been on the other side of the Tokyo border. There was an old covered mall left over from the Showa days. Tight narrow alley ways lead away from the shopping mall.
Between the buildings coming down and the new ones going up laid a wonderland of geometric interactions with it’s inhabitants.
Wander

Click

And it all fits nicely into a square.
