Site of Setagaya Daikan's Residence — Attraction in Tokyo

雨の土曜日に近くの郷土資料館へ行き、2階の展示で代官屋敷やこの地域について読みました。実際に見てみたくなり、そのまま代官屋敷に足を運びました。建物に入ると、とても丁寧なご案内のおじいさまのガイドさんと、親切なスタッフの方に迎えていただきました。館内はとても静かで落ち着いた雰囲気でした。

ご案内のおじいさまのガイドさんは、各部屋や歴史についてとても分かりやすく説明してくださり、歴史や案内を心から楽しんでいらっしゃるのが伝わってきました。そのおかげで私もとても楽しく学ぶことができました。ほとんど日本語で話しましたが、時折とても素晴らしい英語を交えてくださり、「自分の英語では効率が悪いのでは」と心配されていたものの、その努力と心遣いが素晴らしく、むしろ感謝の気持ちでいっぱいでした。英語話者の方でも安心して楽しく学べると思います。

今回の訪問はとても有意義で、この建物を理解できるように一生懸命助けてくださったことに深く感謝しています。世田谷区に住んでいる方や、この地域最後に残る建物に興味がある方には、ぜひ一度訪れてほしい場所です。

I went to the nearby local history museum on a rainy Saturday and read about the Daikan Yashiki and the area in the exhibits upstairs. I wanted to check it out for real and walked in. I was greeted by a really cool guide grandpa and a nice lady as I entered the building. The vibe was very peaceful and quiet. The cool guide grandpa lead me around and explained all of the rooms and a bit of the history to me. He spoke really amazing English even though we spoke in Japanese 99 percent of the time. He was worried about it not being efficient enough but he did amazingly. Any other English speakers would definitely have a pleasant experience because of him. I really enjoyed my visit here and I especially appreciate the effort he put in to help me understand the building. Definitely a must see for residents of Setagaya and anyone interested in the last standing building...

I recently attended a firefly festival. Unfortunately, despite standing in line for about 40 minutes in the heat to get inside, I didn’t see any fireflies. Everyone was very disappointed, especially the children who also waited in line. The festival itself was small, but the atmosphere was pleasant. The food was also relatively cheap and...

I have never imagine how much of the history is still there to see and enjoy. If it wasn't covirus crisis and emergency rules, I was not finding so much value places in Setagaya. Free parking, free entrance to the museum and video corner. Many valuable informations, (not much translated to English, but enough to...
