(Announcement) I've published a book. No Face Showing! A Book for Earn 1 Million Yen a Month on YouTube Starting in Your 50s https://amzn.to/4ueVu3a I've added content about Akihabara's lost landscape that I couldn't include in the first installment. The disappearance of Akihabara Department Store and Yatchaba has also led to the disappearance of demonstration sales and competitive eating restaurants, giving us a glimpse into the chain of disappearing things. I also talk about the opening of Yodobashi Akiba and Satomsen, which resisted the decline of electronics stores, Chozo Yamamoto, who established order in Akihabara, which was once crowded with street vendors, and who risked his life to maintain public order. I also talk about the two abandoned Manseibashi stations and the small rooms at Manseibashi, which remain. [About the Small Rooms at Manseibashi] The small rooms, which were said to have been built next to Manseibashi in 1930, were featured on the TV program "Sukkiri," which was a timely opportunity. (Broadcast on October 6, 2021) According to bridge expert Akio Kurebayashi, the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake prompted the creation of "bridgehead plazas" at the four corners of bridges. These were apparently used to strengthen the bridges and as space for future bridge replacements, as well as for police stations, water fountains, and disaster prevention warehouses. Manseibashi Bridge is unusual in that these plazas are built underground. Furthermore, Takashi Kikuchi (91), a long-time resident of Kikuchi Wireless Electric, said that the plazas used to be used as toilets, and that he himself used them frequently. While the authenticity of this story is uncertain, it seems highly likely that they were used as toilets.
