Heartlands: Zoshigaya

Small winding streets and low-rise houses.
Zoshigaya is only a short walk away from the malls, highways and flashing lights of Ikebukuro, but feels like a silent suburb in comparison.
This homely heartland has maintained its Showa-era (1926 – 1989) atmosphere, with winding lanes lined with family homes and small shops selling everyday conveniences.
A soft silence permeates the air around this shitamachi area that is heavy with history.
