東北復興大祭典 Tohoku Recovery Festival in Nakano
- quote -
Nakano is convenient as a place to live or visit, with fifteen train stations in the ward, the Seibu Shinjuku line and the Toei Oedo line running in the North, the Marunouchi line running in the South, and with, at the center of the ward, Nakano station, which is only four minutes on the JR Chuo line from Shinjuku station.
At the North Entrance to Nakano Station is “Nakano Broadway”, which is known as a hub for subcultures such as manga and anime. Not only subcultures, but also stores that handle antique high-quality watches, model train stores, and other stores that support various enthusiasts are gathered there. Also, it contains stores like grocery stores, butchers, fish shops, and eateries like the underground one known for its extra large eight-tiered ice cream cone. It is a shopping mall that contains everything necessary for everyday life.
..... When you exit Nakano station’s North exit and head West, Nakano’s new face, “the City of Four Seasons”, spreads out before you.
..... In Nakano there is a famous Tokyo scenic spot called Tetsugakudou (Temple of Philosophy) Park. ... built by the late Dr. Inoue Enryo.
Near Tetsugakudou Park is the Nokata Water Tower. A building with a unique form, it is designated as the country’s Tangible Cultural Property.
