My hometown
In recent years, there have been many changes in the shopping town. Togoshiginza, where I live, and which is known as the longest shopping street in Japan. I will introduce that there are other good aspects of the town.
For starters, Togoshiginza is located in a convenient area. The people who live in this town can access five stations by walking within 10minutues. In addition, if you live in this place, you can go to other prefectures, which is Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa, in about 30-60min. Moreover, although anyone does not know about it, there is atmosphere of both urban and downtown. It means that this location is near Gotanda station, JR, Yamanote line, which is very sophisticated town. On the other side, Togoshiginza retains air of downtown. The people who lives in sometimes join local festival altogether, and young people and elderly people, different generation's person communicate with each other.
Finally, the past ten years, Togoshiginza has changed. Although it is unfortunately, a lot of owner who own local shop in this shopping town closed their shops. After that, the space has been replaced with fast food shop and supermarket, and convenience store. However, recently new local shop has increased gradually. Owner and manager and staff in which work the shop is young generation. They are active and communicate with local residents. Such a thing makes Togoshiginza exciting, in fact, some of shop start to collaborate with neighborhood people in social project.
Thus Togoshiginza has various aspects. It is not only the longest shopping street but also convenient and excited town.
