Takaseigawa bicycle tour
Take a half- hour tour (you can use the fast-forward button to go faster, or move the slider to skip through the video) down the Takaseigawa canal into the heart of Higashi-kujo. Take note, as you travel, of the many empty lots that are fenced off, and the lack of accessible open spaces, and the general lack of new (post 1980) buildings„although some of the standing buildings show signs of repair/renovation. Much of the residential stock of this districtÍs non-buraku neighborhoods was created during the post-war urbanization of Japan. It is only now beginning to show neglect.
