高田馬場駅は平成の香りをそのまま残した商店街と、駅前の開発がだんだんと進む町でした

[Takadanobaba] Behind the student town lies "Little Yangon." Walking through fading Showa nostalgia and multinational chaos. This time, we head to Takadanobaba Station, where the JR Yamanote, Seibu Shinjuku, and Tozai lines intersect. Known as a "student town" and a "fierce ramen battleground," a step into its alleys reveals Japan's largest Myanmar community, "Little Yangon." The station's landmark "BIGBOX," the "Astro Boy" melody connected to Osamu Tezuka. The "ruins of the Showa black market" disappearing due to redevelopment, and the unchanging classic cinema "Waseda Shochiku." I walked through this chaotic and energetic town where the old, the new, and the multinational blend together. 🔔 Please subscribe to the channel! http://youtube.com/@akiribu?sub_confi... 💡 Related Videos    • 【感動】千葉市は世界一の記録を持っているのに、全然その魅力が知られていないもったいな...      • 中井駅-都会の田舎！新宿から7分で味わえる昭和レトロ【大江戸線7駅目】      • 【過去最高】僕が唯一住みたいと思った街、カザフスタンのアルマトイを全力で紹介します      • サマルカンドはウズベキスタンの古都！趣ある街並み、路地が最高にエモい街でした   [Table of Contents / Chapters] 0:00 Opening: Not just a student town?
