Visited: Friday, August 30, 2024
After work on a Friday, I came out to Narashino in Chiba Prefecture. I had been to JR Tsudanuma Station and Shin-Tsudanuma Station many times, but somehow never to Keisei Tsudanuma — so I finally stopped by.
It is a sizable terminal: the Keisei Chiba Line, the Keisei Main Line, and at the time of this visit the Shin-Keisei Line. City hall is nearby, so I expected something as lively as Tsudanuma. The shopping street has a covered arcade, but it has faded quite a bit.
At the entrance stairs, the blue Keisei Tsudanuma Station sign hangs above. To the left, SUNROAD shutters are closed; a white KIRIN vending machine stands near the base. Yellow tactile paving stretches across the plaza.
Around the Station
At a crossing near the station, the gates are down and a train streaks past. Someone with a shoulder bag watches the tracks. A yellow emergency board and red crossing lights mark the dark intersection.
Along the arcade, a white sign reads Kaisen Takamaru (海鮮 たか丸). Warm orange light spills from the shop; blue buckets sit by the entrance. A bicycle headlight cuts across the brick sidewalk, with a pedestrian close behind.
Waigaya (ワイガヤ) glows blue above glass doors. Silhouettes move inside; a large wooden barrel stands out front. A red banner for a Chinese goods store leans toward the road, while the next shutter is down.
At a corner, a red fire-hydrant disc and a white Mitsuhashi Ophthalmology (三橋眼科) board hang on a utility pole. A dark car drives off; the signal ahead shows green. Yellow tactile blocks curve with the curb.
The brick sidewalk continues. On the right, a dental clinic sign sits above a closed shutter; farther on, a streetlamp and a bus. Across the road, a green hotel sign and a chuka soba shop appear. Power lines cut the night sky; few people walk.
The plaza opens onto Tobu Store's blue sign and a white koban. Yellow tactile paving splits into a Y. Someone sits on a bench; others walk toward the police box. Station-front brightness lingers here.
