Nostalgic Katsushika / Shibamata / “Taishakuten Temple”

Town

Hi! My name is Hide!
The area to be introduced this time is Katsushika / Shibamata!

Katsushika / Shibamata is a downtown of Tokyo.
It is also famous for the filming place of the movie “Otoko wa Tsurai yo”.

“Otoko wa Tsurai yo”

The movie “Otoko wa Tsurai yo” is a popular movie for many Japanese citizens.
Because of its popularity, it will be 48 works as well.

Before Keisei Electric Railway · Shibamata Station there is a statue of the main character · Torajirou Kuruma.

Torajiro makes a small profit making business while traveling all over Japan.
Torajiro falls in love with a beautiful woman he met on a journey, but he always does not go well.

Torajiro’s sister, “Sakura”.

Sakura is always worried about Torajiro.

The reason why this movie is popular among Japanese people is that “sadness” and “enjoyment” are living together.

I love too!
