Today, I walked along the Kanpachi Avenue in the southeast direction from the Kanpachi Tomei Entrance intersection.
I was impressed by the Noge-Otsuka burial mound.
Yoga
I got off at the nearest station, Yoga.
Yoga Station (North Exit)
I came out of the north exit.
It may be a misnomer to say this, but it looks like a doodlebug.
It is stylish and I don’t dislike the design.
Spaghetti
Intersection at the entrance of Kanpachi Tomei
Walking west along the Tomei Expressway, it is about 800 meters to the intersection at the entrance to the Kanpachi Tomei Expressway.
Looking west from the intersection, you will see the exit and entrance to the expressway. The Tomei Expressway begins here.
Seta Intersection
The Seta intersection with Tamagawa-dori has a cool curved pedestrian bridge staircase.
However, they are so huge that I could not get a good picture of them.
Tamagawa-dori at Seta intersection
At the Seta intersection, Tamagawa Dori runs underneath and is a multi-level intersection.
Nandina flowers
The flowers that look like grains of rice are nandina (Nandina nandina). It was planted in my parents’ house a long time ago as it is said to turn around difficulties.
Spaghetti
I couldn’t help but take this picture because the sign “Spaghetti” had a nice taste.
I will one day use it as “Spaghe T” as the name of a dish or a pen name.
Many car dealers are on the inner side of Kanpachi?
As usual, the car dealers continue. For some reason, there seem to be many of them on the inner side of Kanpachi.
I have heard that the reason why Shinto and Buddhist ritual articles stores are lined up on the south side of Asakusa-dori is to avoid direct sunlight. I wonder if it looks cooler in the west sun for cars.
Tama Art University
Tama Art University was located here. There is no atmosphere of eccentricity at all.
Was it Yumi Matsutoya’s alma mater?
Noge Otsuka Tumulus
Tokyu Oimachi Line
It crosses the Tokyu Oimachi Line.
It was a multi-level crossing, conveniently taking advantage of the cut-through coming up from Futakotamagawa.
Daisan Keihin
The Daisan Keihin is also a multi-level intersection using a cut-through.
Does the special white line on the way up mean “don’t slow down”?
It suddenly became cold around this time. It seems that a cold front has passed through.
Though the western sky is clear…
Tamagawa Nogemachi Park
I hear there is a burial mound in Tamagawa Noge-cho Park, so I will drop by.
Roadside ambient air quality measurement station
Before reaching the mound, there was a roadside air quality measurement station.
It is easily recognizable because of its distinctive metal funnel shape. But I don’t know the measuring principle or what it measures.
It was the first time I saw the type of measuring instruments lined up on the roof and accessed by an outside staircase.
Noge Otsuka Tumulus
This is the Noge-Otsuka burial mound.
This is the first time I have seen an actual anterior-rear round burial mound. It has a beautiful shape. The front is the “front” part.
(The colored cones are to prevent people from entering the mound because the glass was shattered here.)
Mr. Takubo Akira has an interesting theory that the front-rear mound was to obtain a reservoir for agricultural work. There was a moat, but it was not a reservoir.
Since the Todoroki Valley is located nearby, it does not seem to be a place where a reservoir was desperately needed.
Nogekoen-mae Intersection
The sky was rapidly becoming suspicious, so I decided to stop today’s walk at the Noge Koen-mae intersection and head for the station. The Tokyu Oimachi Line runs parallel to Kanpachi, so it is a good thing that the station is close by.
Gardenia
Gardenias gave off a nice fragrance.
Todoroki Valley
If the weather had been better, I would have liked to take a leisurely stroll in Todoroki Gorge.
I look forward to the next time.
Todoroki Station
I arrived at Todoroki Station.
I managed to avoid being caught in the rain.
