【#67】巨大貧民窟と鮫川の記憶!?四ツ谷エリアの歴史を深掘る

Earning a Master's Degree in Historical Studies! A Serious History Buff Who Loves the Bakumatsu to Meiji Periods: A Thorough Explanation and Guide For the first time in a while, we're taking a historical stroll through towns. This time, our focus is on Yotsuya. Home to the Akasaka Palace State Guest House and Sophia University, Yotsuya is often associated with a fashionable image, but did you know it actually has quite a fascinating history? The Samegawa River once flowed here, and a bridge called Samegawabashi was built over it. Eventually, the area became known as Yotsuya Samegabashi Bridge, one of Tokyo's three largest slums. We'll explore the area's varied terrain, which retains the memory of its waterfront, and unravel its history. =========================== Locations featured in this video ◆Entsujizaka (following the former course of the Samegawa River)  https://tokyo-trip.org/spot/visiting/... ◆Suga Shrine (the setting for the animated film "Your Name")  https://sugajinjya.or.jp/ ◆Shokoji Temple (Grave of Yamada Asaemon)  https://www.shoukouji.biz/ ◆Saioji Temple (Grave of swordsman Sakakibara Kenkichi)  11-4 Sugacho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo ◆Kaigyojizaka  https://tokyo-trip.org/spot/visit ng/tk0441/ ◆ Kannonzaka Near Wakaba 2-chome, Shinjuku Ward ◆ Shinjoin Temple (Shiofumi Kannon)  http://www.shinjoin.jp/ ◆ Sainenji Temple (Hattori Hanzo's Grave)  https://www.yotsuya-sainenji.or.jp/in... ◆ Samegabashi-dori Guard Guard/Sekitome-jin Near Minamimotomachi 9-chome, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo ◆ Futaba Nursery School  https://www.futaba-yuka.or.jp/ =========================== Related Videos ※About Yotsuya Arakicho [#10] The basin-shaped Yotsuya Arakicho was the family home of a very famous person from the end of the Edo period!? ~A Historical Walk Series with a Topographical Theme, Part 1~    • 【#10】スリバチ地形の四谷荒木町は、幕末の超有名人の実家だった⁉︎〜地形をテーマに...   ※About Edo's Executioner, Yamada Asaemon [#23] A look into the true story of Edo's executioner, "Kubikiri Asaemon"!
