Otsuka
pictures
The town with the streetcar that you could feel about its history.
Since the streetcar arakawa line was started at 44 years of Showa period, Otsuka was become the main place of transportation. But after the wars, since the main place was moved to Ikebukuro, the liveliness of Otsuka are not much as in the past.
However, Otsuka is still full of the shopping arcades that was spread out from the station with enough its liveliness and convenience.
