Seijo: May 8-9, 2010




Seijo in Setagaya ward is considered as one of the best residential areas in Tokyo.

I walked around the area on the way to visit Nogawa to for my riverside walks.

The station building (Seijo Gakuenmae, Odakyu line) was a modern commercial complex. It has shops, cultural facilities and restaurants. The roof of the building is a garden.

There are many large houses around the station. I visited a gallery in a private house.

The district keeps several nature preservation areas. Bamboo, Pine trees and many other trees are planted there. Some natural reserves are open to the public and some are closed.

I found an artificial farm field near the station. The field is on the concrete roof which cover the apace where the railways are laid and the trains run (see the pictuture. It is on the railways). The farm field are rent (by blocks) by the residents in this area to enjoy cultivating vegetables in the weekends.
