山谷~小塚原刑場(トレインビュー処刑場の街歩き:後編)

For a slightly more intriguing stroll or to explore interesting sights visible from the train, we'll be taking a stroll from Asakusa in Taito Ward to Minamisenju in Arakawa Ward. This time, in the second part of the series, we finally arrive at Kozukahara Execution Grounds, a train-view execution ground sandwiched between the Minamisenju railway lines. This is where over 200,000 people were executed during the Edo period. We'll visit each spot according to the following timetable: ・0:34 Sanya District ・4:38 Namidabashi Intersection ・6:59 Near Minamisenju Station ・9:06 Enmei-ji Temple and Kubikiri Jizo ・13:30 Ekoin Temple, Kaitai Shinsho, and the Grave of Yoshida Shoin ・18:17 Alleys near Kozukahara Execution Grounds ・21:59 Viewing Kubikiri Jizo from a Joban Line Train ・23:17 Eating Souvenir Horse Meat
