Hikifune revisited Tokyo 2003

Street coordinates: Kyojima 3-44.

I've been to this wonderful walking course through old town Hikifune organized by Keio university last year, but when I came back this time, everything was closed, no artworks, no artists around.

Still Hikifune is a very interesting area to visit. It very much lacks hectic and speed of inner Tokyo, yet is more lively and populated than Minami Senju.

Samples


Udon Cafe "Abroad", closed.		Roadside shrine situated on a playground near Hikifune shopping street.

Two sheds of no appearant use near Higashi Mukojima station.		A typical ensemble of a battery of soda machines with old type wooden houses in the background.

Old style (machi-ya) japanese wood house in Kyojima.		District bath (sento) Hikifune Yu. A very traditional type.
