3.97 km in Total Length

Sukiyabashi Fureai Walk (Hibiya Park – Kabukiza)

From Hibiya Park to Ginza’s new landmark, Marion. Sukiyabashi, known for the masterpiece “Your Name,” is across from Marion Square. It was built over a moat that no longer exists. The Wako Clock Tower, a symbol of Ginza, was created in 1933. The crowd of people on Ginza Chuo-dori Street has continued ever since the days of the Ginbura tribe. Passing Kabukiza and heading towards Tsukiji.

Tsukiji Edomae walk (Kabukiza – Tsukudajima)

Tsukiji is a fish market where the relocation issue is attracting attention. The lively voices of auctioneers used to buzz around from 5am at the Tokyo Central Wholesale Market, but the market was moved to Toyosu. Many shoppers flock to the outer market in search of Edomae taste. The area surrounding St. Luke’s International Hospital is a former settlement with an exotic atmosphere. On the opposite coast of Tsukuda Island, there is a strange contrast between the futuristic high-rise apartment buildings and the traditional townscape.

I have lived and worked with my family in Japan since 2005. For many years I have been interested in the very practical and creative side of Japanese culture. In my free time I travel around, enjoy hiking in the countryside and cities, and just generally seeing and doing new things. This blog is primarily a way for me to focus my energies and record and teach others about what I have learned by experience constructively. I am interested in urban development, and sustainable micro-economics, especially home-economics, and practical things everyday families can do to survive and thrive through these changing times.
