新宿３丁目あたり Around Shinjuku 3-Chome

東京は新宿区の歴史博物館が三栄町辺りにある。新宿にゆかりがある僕としては、非常に興味深く見学する事が出来た。昔も今もほとんど変わらない区画や、今も残る道路と聞くと、すごくその時代に戻ってみたくなるが、この博物館でそれが少し実現できた。
今エコエコって言うけど、たったの１３０年ぐらい前までのどかな田園風景が新宿区にもあり、空気も水もさぞかしおいしかったろう・・・。
There is a Museum of Shinjuku-Ku in Sanei-Cho.  As I have family house in Shinjuku-Ku, it was an exciting place to visit.  When I hear that blocks and area, or streets lay there since hundreds of years ago, I always wish I could visit the area in those days.  The museum virtually brought me to those era and I was able to experience daily life of old days.
Today, we are all obsessed about ecology, but only about 130 years ago Shinjuku-Ku had acres of crops and there were almost no cars, facilities, and factories that poisons the air and water.
