I was walking along the JR tracks from Kanda to Tokyo Station. According to the housing indication, this area was Otemachi. Otemachi is the center of the Japanese economy, where major banks and huge corporations have their headquarters. Indeed, the area is lined with large buildings.
Like Marunouchi and Hibiya, Otemachi used to be an inlet until the Edo Shogunate was established and the reclamation of Edo Bay began. The sea used to close in on the center of Tokyo. Today, however, there is no sign of the sea, and the smell of the shore does not waft through the air as you walk around. It has been a long time since the sea dried up and became a concrete jungle.
A dimly lit passage stretched beside the railroad tracks. The area was filled with a desolate atmosphere not befitting the center of the Japanese economy. But perhaps this atmosphere hinted at the future of the Japanese economy.
After walking for a while, I came close to the end of the passage. I saw a man at the end of the aisle. The man was pushing a stroller as he walked.
