This video is from right near the town where I was born and raised, a place I roamed when I was an elementary school student.Watching this footage filled me with joy, as it allowed me to relive memories of that time, filled with nostalgia, almost as though I had time-traveled. Now, having my own family and living in this area again, I've had the wonderful opportunity to show my wife the views that I saw when I was around 10 years old. The current scenery is familiar to her, but sharing my past with her has been a special experience. Thank you so much for these precious memories
Thanks for the video. I was born in this tiny little town. Lived here for only six years but still have child hood memory. Have been living(grew up) in States for many years but I call this little town "my home town" Not sure but I probably had played at Sakuranbo park when I was three years old. Attended Kototoi Kindergarten, lived right in 5-chome. Been so many years and can't recognize much but my home town alright.
If you're really bored, and want to be more bored still, leading to a post-boredom serenity brought on by an overdose of boredom, then this is the video for you. 45 minutes of walking around in Mukojima in Sumida-ku in 1991. - １９９１年の向島 - 45分の散歩.... ruclips.net/video/5mqWanNjptI/видео.html
17:04 The shuttered "shotengai" shopping arcade/streets. You mention the large retailers or supermarkets. I've seen a lot of this all over Japan. Maybe 25 percent to 50 percent occupancy. I think it was part of the bubble burst of the late 80s. You seem to say that you are noticing it more and more in this video. Another thing is.... as new train stations altered foot traffic and bicycle traffic. The still existing street light designs and fading signage speaks late-showa.
Areas with a lot of small retailers used to be protected by law - a company couldn't just buy some land and build a large store in the area without getting permission from the existing retailers. So it's less to do with market forces than the value society places on certain things and how it manages things via law....
忘れる訳ないあの街は
忘れる訳ないあの涙
向島が俺の町！
実家がちょっとだけ映ってる！うれしいです。
蟹歩きしないと抜けられないような路地、路上で遊ぶ子供、路上の蝋石お絵かき。釣銭を笊で店頭に吊るす古い商店も生き残ってた向島。性善説信仰の寄り添う住民。あるいみ、ある時点までの日本庶民のサンプル映像ですね。水戸街道からチラッと入っただけで昔の情緒が残るさまを丹念に記録してくださっていますね。同じだけ突っ込んだ撮影は、逆に日本人には難しかったかもしれませんね。アランドロンがちょっと眉をしかめながらカメラを構えてる！・笑。場が和んだと思います。ありがとうございました。
28:01 頃から鳩の街という商店街の名前の由縁である「赤線」の名残の建物が映り込んでいますね。
これだけの商店街にどう私娼街が？と探してしまいがちですが、実際は道一本入った裏手がメインだったようですね。
当時のバブル末期の地上げ屋の買い占めを乗り越えて、老人が非常に多い街でしたが、
自分も初老に入った今、さすがに家主達も亡くなり、不動産屋の腕利きあって、
次々に新しい一軒家やマンションに建て替えられて、若いファミリー層が集まる地域になっています。
いつまでも当たり前のようにあった景色が映像を見る事でいつの間にか終焉を迎えていた事にハッとさせられてしまいます。

松の湯だ。何もかも皆懐かしい。
鳩の街商店街、松の湯、言問小学校。懐かしい。みんな元気かなぁ？私の生まれ育ちの故郷 向島5丁目。
有難うございます。
私は墨田区生まれですが、なんとも懐かしい映像ですね！有り難うございます。
This is my home town. Miss every shops, people,and atmosphere.Even the crows' cawing is nostalgic, unlike now.

東向島の先の寺島(吾妻町)に住んでいましたが、母が向島に働きに出てました。
鳩の街がしっかり映ってますね。旅館桜井も恩田質店も。でも朽ち果てたアーケードが出てこないのは残念！
それにしてもサクソンさん、いつも以上に路地奥までグイグイいくね。
このシリーズの栃木市編で、あの富士見町が出てくるのには驚いた。
コメント、ありがとう。 当時、場所に行って 歩き出す - 歩きながら「面白そう...」と思って 足があちらに向きました。
Lyle Hiroshi Saxon さん
まさかのコメント、感謝です🙏
サクソンさんの素晴らしい嗅覚と行動力に敬意を表します。
鉄道・建物・遊郭跡が好きなのでどの動画を見てもドストライク！
特に八広・東向島に50年以上住んでるので、曳舟京島向島立石浅草辺りの動画は涙が出るほど懐かしい！
4年間通学した高田馬場や通勤してた桜木町馬車道、大宮宮原、飯田町九段も出て来てもう夢のような時間を過ごせました。
東京人にとっては本当に貴重な財産だと思います。これからもご活躍を期待していますね。
そこまで言うと照れるけど、ありがとうございます！
ラブホテルのホワイトハウス屋上からよく撮影できましたね。許可をとってあがらせてもらったんでしょう！ ちなみにホワイトハウスはもうなく、マンションになっています。
ライルさんの動画は実際自分が住んでいた町ではないのに何故か懐かしく感じてしまうんですよね。きっとこの時代に自分も生活をしていてこういう町の雰囲気を自分の育った所で見てるからなんですかね。なんかうまく言いたい事を表現できなくてすみません💦
取った時、場所の良さを感じて、その良さを記録するのは、元々の目指しと言うか、目的と言うか.....
懐かしい。
子供の頃千代田の前の家に住んでたから
本屋の近くの耳鼻科も今もあるのかな？
なんだか色々と懐かしいッス！☆ ('-^ )b
