Quiet on the environment, Kamiyama as such as a sense of shiny Gallery Cafe there is calm interspersed to leave the old-fashioned atmosphere of the shopping district. Is referred to as "back Shibuya" from people familiar with Shibuya, I followed the history and charm of this area that are familiar to residents of old.
Less Kamiyama street crowded compared to the other area
Shibuya proceeds from Station 109 to the right direction, If you hit the Tokyu department store head office, advance the Y-shaped intersection to the right. Walking as it is, it is per past complex of theaters, restaurants, live space to "uplink" it is the entrance of the Kamiyama street. This area is fish shop and old-fashioned shops taste such a quiet shopping street to continue the business, such as Komeya. Road width is narrow, on the other hand there is also the traffic situation that way, when compared to other areas, such as Dogenzaka, traffic, less easy to walk to the pedestrian traffic both. Some of such laid-back environment, such as a gallery-cafe atmosphere witty want to stop the foot involuntarily in some places are dotted, under the designation such as "back Shibuya", "back Shibuya", familiar to people who were familiar with Shibuya it is that area.
This area is said to have begun more and more people at home and shops by people who were affected by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 gathered from such as the heart of Shibuya. Similarly, those who have escaped from the air raids of World War II as well, relatively, gathered around Kamiyama-cho that had room to land. Who ran a fish shop in front of the eyes of Aoyama Gakuin University from before the war a "fish force", was transferred to the Kamiyama street by war is, who Tsutomu Suzuki is the third generation your husband was around five years old. Suzuki, and "Around the house, if there is such as streams and cliffs and a vacant lot, did not inconvenience to the playground. The Udagawa I you remember kingfisher had been flying around making a nest." , I look back on the situation at the time.
Culverts have been Udagawa promenade
A decisive change in the NHK of relocation
As is currently referred to as the "Kamiyama Street" is, at the time taking the old place names of around this, was called Omukai street. The location of the Tokyu department store head office, but once there was a Shibuya Ward Omukai Elementary School, 1997 years, is integrated with the other two schools of wards by the decrease of the population, is now a Jinnan Elementary School ing. In addition, Kamiyama street, on the other hand from the fact that the outlet of the passage there is Tokyu department store head office, sometimes referred to as Tokyu head office street.
After moving to Suzuki Kamiyama street, in addition to the reconstruction of post-war, 1964 Udagawa to the Tokyo Olympic Games machine of the year and are culverts become promenade, it is gradually changed the scenery. Such circumstances, had resulted in a decisive change in the Kamiyama street, in 1973 years, but that the NHK Broadcasting Center has come to transfer to the opposite across the Inokashira street. Since, in this area, the television production companies and studios, art, large props, props, CG, tickers, etc., gathered a company associated with the program production, it will have to face as a "Creative Village".
Continued since the Meiji "fish force"
Along with the NHK of relocation, also changes the people who come and go the Kamiyama street. And "It is up to it was not only walking around the local residents, now stand out the figure of people of NHK officials and television industry", Mr. Suzuki. Therefore, the birth of lunch demand, gradually set meal shop and soba is increased, began to take on the appearance of lunch battleground. Initially it has issued a set menu from before about fish force 20 years was only open for fishmonger. "Because pains there is a lot of fish, if put out the rice and miso soup, I'm sure glad should get" but so was the landlady's idea of that. Now, NHK officials in day and night both, also, such as young people who heard the reputation, is crowded in a wide range of audiences.
In addition, although not surprisingly known, is Kamiyama-cho, is also the area soba are concentrated. In addition to the "Okumura" of long-established, since the "Kiyoyama" is opened in January 2006 year, "聞弦 Bow (curfew defense)", and "weather", a new soba in quick succession open. Lunch time, of course, leave the downtown hustle and bustle of such Dogenzaka, it seems popular with clientele that want to enjoy sake and shochu among the secluded location.
Streets leaving a downtown atmosphere
Line up several old-fashioned shops
In addition, from the adjacent 2000 headquarters of Issey Miyake came moved to Tomigaya around, "are increasing gradually fashion-related shops" (Suzuki)'s right. That said, 60 years, settled in Kamiyama street, from Suzuki to continue to trade, "compared to other areas of Shibuya, is Kamiyama street than have changed little," said the thing. Even if, such as rebuilding of the buildings there, large buildings and commercial facilities at least, in addition to fish force, has also remained still hotels number shops began operating immediately after the war. There early in Shibuya of the landscape of transition, it is a valuable area to leave the atmosphere of the old-fashioned sight alive "downtown".
While located in Shibuya, remains deeply rooted streets of downtown emotion
