Kanegafuchi sta.

Kanegafuchi is between Asakusa and Kitasenjyu.
That town is what's called "shitamachi."
Direct meaning of "shitamachi" is ''downtown," but it's not.
It is the town which keeps old traditions in the area.
A lot of 'mom & pop' shops.
People there know well with each other.
The relationships between people in the area are very tied.

In the evening, you can hear a lady talk to a butcher man, saying like "Hi, how are you? how's your son?" you also may see ladies or men in a sento(public bath) chat and chackle at gossips. At the dinner table, family talk like "Hey, listen. The man behind the liquor shop, you know? He did x, y, and z." In any time, people greets with each other in many places: on the road, in a supermarket, in front of his/her house, in a convenience stores, in a waiting room of a hospital... anywhere! Junior-high kids are together and taking a rest after their club activity. Moms are trying to persuade their children to stop playing and go home. Fish seller is asking with aloud voice, "Come on, come on! Today's tuna is owesome! No kidding! you have to get this!" High school girls are making up in a Mc Donald.

Everyday, same things happen.
This is the Kanegafuchi community I've grown up!
Yes!
