Blog#5:My home town.Arakawa(Misaki)

Hello, I would like to introduce my city, I have lived in Arakawa since I was born in 1994. So I know a lot of this city's information, I will introduce them.


Arakawa is known for an electronic train, it is called "Toden". This train runs from Minowabashi(Arakawa) to Waseda(Shinjuki) and runs cross Arakawa over about 4.8 kilometers. So it is the most suitable transportation for move in the region.
And many beautiful roses bloom along "Toden" in spring and autumn. People have been active to plant many roses. Now, 140 species roses are planted in about 14 kilometers section.
If you visit Arakawa, take "Toden" and see the roses are in their full glory.

There are some historic spots. Senju(in Arakawa) is famous for place which Basho Matsuo commenced Narrow Road to the Deep North. in the past Senju was en entrance to Edo. There is a monument of Bashou' haiku in Susanou temple.
Please visit this temple.

    Have you been to Tokyo Skytree? It is good that you live in a convenient location close to Mejiro. I think I would like to ride the Toden line and see the flowers.
