My first time in Minami-Senju was 2010. I returned for the first time last month, and the place has definitely spruced up a bit. This archival footage is a real trip, though. Thanks for this!
Hi! Thanks for commenting! 2010? I think the last time I was there was in 2013, when I went to see how it had changed since I went there to take this 1991 video. Different technology in hand in 2013, I posted several one-take clips - here's one showing the station area (my file naming was a bit sloppy in 2013, but if you search for "130423" in the search box of my channel (or "20130423") a few things should turn up from that day): 南千住の駅辺り Minami-Senju Station Area 130423 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R4SIhzMQh7Y.html
This is so cool! I've been two times now, in 2013 and 14 and it's amazing, how much has changed in this area in a short space. Also adding that the Tokyo Skytree now adds to the great scenery also, one of my favourite locations!
Yeah, you don't have to stay in just one city. I do because I like Tokyo and I can't afford (financially or time-wise) to travel around much. Back then, I did try to get out a little, thus the trips to Kuroiso, Kofu, Maebashi, Takasaki, etc., and one trip to Australia.....
