I can\u2019t help but feel overcome with nostalgia when I think about Oji<\/strong> (\u738b\u5b50). It was in this neighbourhood where I spent my first five months after moving to Tokyo <\/strong>(\u6771\u4eac), and thus, was my first experience exploring a local area within this megalopolis. During previous years, my Tokyo visits, albeit fun, mostly consisted of hurried marathons between famous commercial districts and touristic regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was precisely my desire to experience life as a resident that brought me to Japan. According to the internet \u2018tourist-sphere,\u2019<\/em> Oji was the pulse of this vibrant city. And Oji became a part of my every-day life\u2013 exploring local shops, craft markets, hidden restaurants and taking bike rides throughout the neighbourhood. It felt like that there was no life beyond the north of Ikebukuro (\u6c60\u888b).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
