00:00The next station is Anabatic Heaven!
00:07Just now, 99 years ago,
00:10Okachimachi Station was born next to Ueno Station.
00:16It is famous as a station next to Ameyoko,
00:21but there is a town called Anaba a little east of here.
00:26That is the secret base of Okachimachi,
00:30Shin-Okachimachi.
00:34Is Shin a new town?
00:40This is not new.
00:42This is Showa.
00:44Old Okachimachi.
00:48If you walk around Shin-Okachimachi,
00:52you will feel like you are in the old town of Tokyo.
00:56Moreover,
00:58this area has been a town of craftsmanship since the Edo period.
01:03Various masterpieces are produced every day.
01:09Furthermore,
01:10what can be seen in this town's retro shopping street is...
01:16Ishihara Satomi,
01:18Aragaki Yui,
01:21Fujimaya Norika.
01:23I met them at this distance.
01:25At this distance?
01:26Yes, at this distance.
01:27I didn't expect to meet them.
01:31Shin-Okachimachi, located in the south of Taito Ward,
01:34is accessible by Toei-O Edo Line or Tsukuba Express.
01:39This time, we will focus on the station.
01:46Let's start with the top 20.
01:51Let's ask the residents about Shin-Okachimachi.
01:56It's confusing and obscure.
01:58That's right.
02:00If you say Shin-Okachimachi,
02:03people will say Okachimachi.
02:05No.
02:06Shin-Okachimachi.
02:08Even if you say it's not Okachimachi,
02:10people will mistake the promised place.
02:13Where will you go?
02:14I will go to Okachimachi.
02:16I will go to Okachimachi.
02:18I will go to Okachimachi.
02:20If you say Okachimachi, people will understand.
02:23But if you say Shin-Okachimachi,
02:25people will say something else.
02:27I see.
02:29There are 4 stations in this area
02:31with the same name, Okachimachi.
02:33What is the major of each?
02:36The major is Okachimachi.
02:39The second is Naka-Okachimachi.
02:41The third is Uruisu.
02:43The third is Ueno-Okachimachi.
02:45Ueno-Okachimachi is the most popular.
02:47It's the most popular.
02:49It's the most popular.
02:53The second is Shin-Okachimachi.
02:56It's hard to tell.
02:59It's been 24 years since the station was built.
03:02Moreover, Tsukuba Express is also on the station,
03:05but it's still not well-known.
03:07I see.
03:09If you look at the homepage of the store in Shin-Okachimachi,
03:14you can see Okachimachi Station in the far distance.
03:18Shin-Okachimachi Station is closer to Gazen,
03:22but some stores are ahead of Okachimachi Station.
03:26Why is that?
03:313 minutes' walk from Shin-Okachimachi Station.
03:34This kiribako specialty store
03:37is also the first to write Okachimachi Station
03:39in 10 minutes' walk.
03:41Shin-Okachimachi Station is the third.
03:43Let's ask the sixth one.
03:46It's JR, so it's the easiest to understand.
03:49That's why Okachimachi Station is on the top.
03:52I think it's better to write 3 minutes' walk
03:54than 10 minutes' walk.
03:56Do you know Shin-Okachimachi Station?
03:59I'll fix it.
04:01I'll fix it.
04:03Which station?
04:05The second one.
04:07You don't seem to know it.
04:10What's special about Shin-Okachimachi?
04:15This area is called Kachikura.
04:18It's a place where they make a lot of things.
04:21It's a town of making things,
04:23so the area south of Okachimachi
04:26is a good brand.
04:31Kachikura is a town of Okachimachi
04:33and a store in front of Okachimachi.
04:36Kachikura is a place where they make a lot of things.
04:39In Shin-Okachimachi, the center of Kachikura,
04:42there are many small brands.
04:45They are proud of their high technology.
04:50They make hats,
04:52and even sew them.
04:54Hirajima is full of their skills.
04:57Kachikura is the center of Kachikura.
05:02I went to a popular bar that opened 4 years ago.
05:06It's stylish.
05:08The store is American vintage and stylish.
05:13I thought it was a girls' club at the table next to the bar counter.
05:20What are you doing?
05:22I drink alcohol while making things.
05:27It's an entertainment place.
05:29I used to work as a creator.
05:34I wanted a place where people could feel close to making things.
05:40So I went to Portland to look for a place
05:43where people could make things while drinking.
05:45There were many popular places.
05:48I wanted to bring it to Japan,
05:50and that's how I started.
05:52Here's your beer.
05:54The menu is a set of one drink and one thing.
06:00You can make accessories.
06:05The ingredients are waste materials collected from all over the country.
06:11What the women were making was a rice bowl.
06:16What is the material?
06:19I thought the rice bag was cute.
06:23It's cute.
06:25You can make people laugh.
06:27It's a rice bag.
06:32The staff supported her to experience crafting.
06:37This man made a can badge.
06:41While drinking alcohol,
06:43he becomes a member of the party.
06:54A popular curry shop is near Kasuga Street.
06:5818th place, Raffles Curry.
07:02The curry is made in India.
07:05It's made to Japanese taste.
07:08What is the material?
07:10This is the only taste.
07:12This is a unique taste.
07:14This is curry powder.
07:17This is curry powder.
07:20This is not curry powder.
07:22This is a unique taste.
07:24It's a place in Kichijoji.
07:26It's a bit far from home.
07:27Where is it?
07:28It's a curry shop.
07:29I think it's worth visiting.
07:32Two types of curry are popular.
07:37They don't use flour,
07:39and the spiciness is moderate.
07:41It's smooth and delicious,
07:43from children to the elderly.
07:47What is she eating with curry?
07:51It's Takana.
07:53It goes well with curry.
07:57Why does she eat Takana instead of Fukujinzuke?
08:01It's not a Japanese curry.
08:04I tried various things,
08:06and Takana goes well with curry.
08:11Takana makes unique curry.
08:17There is a popular shop in the town of craftsmanship.
08:22No. 17, Yorozuya Shuho.
08:27Sakaya has been running this shop for about 100 years.
08:30The garage has been renovated,
08:32and it opened in 2015.
08:36The speed menu is a set of beer and mochi.
08:41All the handmade snacks are popular.
08:47By the way,
08:48what I'm curious about is a huge mural.
08:51What is this?
08:52It's a mural of a graduate student of Tokyo Arts University.
08:56There is a cultural festival in the fall.
08:58I put a barrel of beer in it,
09:01so I asked a person I knew to draw it.
09:04It was drawn about 40 years ago,
09:07so the details are unknown.
09:09However,
09:11this mural has appeared in the drama
09:14of Noriko Eguchi,
09:16which is recommended by a female soloist.
09:20Since then,
09:21more and more people have been drinking while watching the mural.
09:28When I walk around the town,
09:30I find a sign that interests me in the park.
09:33Radio exercise is free all year round.
09:36Radio exercise is free all year round.
09:38It was also in another park.
09:43When I went there early in the morning on a weekday in September,
09:48many locals were exercising on the radio.
09:53Even though it's not a summer vacation,
09:55the children are also encouraging themselves to exercise on the radio.
10:01No. 16
10:03Radio exercise is free all year round.
10:06It's like a summer morning.
10:08Radio exercise is free all year round for more than 70 years.
10:12Matsuba Park in the same Taito Ward
10:15was the place where the radio exercise broadcast
10:19that was interrupted in the war was resumed in 1927.
10:23I see.
10:26Taito Ward has a deep connection with radio exercise.
10:29Radio exercise is free all year round in Taito Ward.
10:33Really?
10:34The cards issued by Taito Ward
10:36are stamped every year.
10:40Wow!
10:41I'm sure you want to do everything.
10:43I think it's good to have a rhythm.
10:45I wanted to go to the park with my children.
10:47It feels good.
10:48I feel like I'm exercising in the morning.
10:51It's refreshing.
10:53Today,
10:54I went to Kirigamine Park for a business trip.
10:59I came here in the morning.
11:02A refreshing day begins.
11:07That's it for No. 20 to No. 16.
11:10This week's topic is Shin-Okachimachi.
11:15Children go there without a break.
11:18It's a healthy town.
11:21I used to live there for 8 years.
11:24Really?
11:25It's near Kojima Park.
11:28At that time, I slept at 4 or 5 a.m.
11:31because I had to work late at night.
11:35When I got home,
11:37everyone was exercising.
11:39Shin-Okachimachi is famous for drinking.
11:43I love alcohol.
11:46There are many delicious places in Shin-Okachimachi.
11:49Really?
11:51The town is famous for Chinese food.
11:54My girlfriend and Tama-chan are famous for Chinese food.
12:01I used to live there for a long time.
12:03I know the way.
12:05But I don't feel like I'm in Shin-Okachimachi.
12:09I see.
12:10I see.
12:11The town is famous for its food.
12:13The town has been making food since the Edo period.
12:16That's right.
12:17The town is famous for its station.
12:20It's closer to Asakusa.
12:22In other words, it's not Okachimachi.
12:25It's a different town.
12:27It was supposed to be called Moto-Asakusa.
12:30That's a good name.
12:31But there are other towns in the east.
12:34There is Taito.
12:36There is Kojima, Torigoya, and Mikodoni.
12:42There are many other towns.
12:45I brought something that has nothing to do with it.
12:49Is that so?
12:51It's not Okachimachi.
12:52Then, let's put a stamp on it.
12:56Shin-Okachimachi is a town with a strong Showa mood.
13:01There are still signposts built before the war.
13:06No. 15.
13:08The Remnants of the Showa.
13:11This is a store that has been open for four years.
13:16The store is in a relaxed mood.
13:19There is a tasteful store in the store.
13:23This is Kusuri Asano Niwa, which was established 104 years ago.
13:28There is a 93-year-old pharmacist.
13:32It's cool.
13:33At the end of the war, the bomb fell behind this.
13:37And it fell ahead of this.
13:39At that time, everyone had a water tank on the front of the house.
13:45After that, we built a water tank.
13:47Everyone was a ghost hunter.
13:49They protected the town.
13:51The head of the defense team was a wonderful person.
13:55His name was Kuroki Sho-hachi.
13:58According to a book about the history of the town,
14:02Kuroki-san led the fire-fighting activities during the air raid.
14:06At first glance, the house on the top floor did not burn.
14:09That's amazing.
14:11There was a great history in the casual scenery.
14:17The Okachimachi neighborhood on the top floor is a barbecue area.
14:22There is also a very good store in this area.
14:32The Korean town on the east side of Shin-Okachimachi is a barbecue area in the city center.
14:41And there is also a famous store in Shin-Okachimachi.
14:45No. 14 Sumiri Yakiniku Hien
14:50It has been loved in the local area for 41 years.
14:54What is the charm of this store?
14:58It's a local atmosphere.
15:03The yakiniku here is very delicious.
15:08It's thick, but it has a great texture.
15:13It is popular because of the way the skewers are inserted.
15:20It is lightly grilled on the fire of Kishu Binchotan.
15:23It has a melting texture and a strong umami.
15:31It's delicious.
15:33The elementary school was built in the 3rd year of the Showa era during the reconstruction of the Great Kanto Earthquake.
15:40This is the elementary school.
15:43It is now a training facility for young creators.
15:48No. 13 Taito Designers Village
15:53Is this a school?
15:55Taito-ku lent the abandoned elementary school to the creators as an atelier and office.
16:04They were able to move in for up to three years and the rent was 30,000 yen.
16:10What does Fujioka, a textile designer, feel here?
16:15I'm in charge of the walnut button factory in the neighborhood.
16:20I think it's attractive to be able to collaborate with local companies by being in the town of manufacturing.
16:28This year, we launched a jewelry brand called Kanae Yamashita.
16:35What is this ring?
16:38It's a ring that you put on your toe.
16:41It's a foot.
16:43Turing, which is becoming more and more popular around the world, is handcrafted from scratch according to the customer's taste.
16:52It seems that sometimes it gets stuck because of the creators.
16:58It's very helpful to be able to consult with the creators around me.
17:07Creators are growing up in the town of manufacturing.
17:12There are a lot of brands that have graduated and are active all over the country.
17:17I always say that it's no good to make a fancy and expensive store to attract young people.
17:25Young people gather in cheap places.
17:29Talented young people.
17:31Everyone, have you ever seen this book?
17:37In fact, the publisher of this book is in this area.
17:42It was founded in 1941.
17:47The 12th Jinguikan.
17:51The contents of this book.
17:55It is a book written by a person who studied liquid chemistry called Takashima Liquid Group.
18:03One is a calendar.
18:05It's a daily business.
18:08The other is a fortune-telling based on the old century.
18:13The founder of the Takashima Liquid Group is the practicalist Kaemon Takashima.
18:19He is a man who has contributed to the development of the city, such as the British Embassy in Yokohama and the installation of gas towers.
18:27It is also the origin of the name of Takashima-cho, Yokohama.
18:33This publisher also has an auditorium.
18:36Ordinary customers can see fortune-telling.
18:42It's sudden, but I got a fortune-teller next year.
18:47It's a little bit of a car.
18:51It's going to be around the city.
18:54If you have a car, you can park it in your favorite car.
18:59If you park it somewhere and go shopping, it will be damaged when you come back.
19:05I hope you can drive carefully.
19:09I think that's possible.
19:11You can park it in a parking lot that won't be damaged.
19:14Is there such a parking lot?
19:17Please park it where there are many people.
19:19I've seen this cover somewhere.
19:23This is 1.2 million copies a year.
19:27If you don't teach your children about Koyomi in Japan, it's a cultural inheritance.
19:33I believe in fortune-telling.
19:36It's important to live with Koyomi in mind.
19:4115 years ago, a tempura shop was interviewed at the Suehirokai shopping district.
19:47After that, it was renewed.
19:50No. 11 Tenmasa
19:54I was glad that the previous building was also rich.
19:59It's nice.
20:01It was replaced 10 years ago due to aging.
20:04What is this pillar?
20:06The novel design was popular and won the Tokyo Architecture Award.
20:11But
20:13Actually, the shop will be closed this year.
20:19It's a waste.
20:23It's 100 years old.
20:25I guess so.
20:28What happened?
20:30The shop will be closed for redevelopment.
20:35I'm familiar with the town.
20:39Even if you two quit, the people around you won't forgive you.
20:45What I want to taste before closing is the tempura of Anago, which is very fresh and delicious every morning in Toyosu.
20:54In two months, I will leave this space.
20:58Two months? Really?
21:00I was going to go to Tenmasa, but I didn't have lunch.
21:04I see.
21:05I want to make up for it by the end of the year.
21:08I see.
21:10It's only open at night.
21:12I see.
