アイオワいんこ 憧れの地、いつかはニューヨークに！(こう見えてもナイスガイ) Iowa-INKO’s dream destination, someday in New York! Call me “Nice guy “
Hello dormy Inn fans all around the world. It’s Iowa-INKO from the DOMINISTYLE International Exchange Department.
Today I would like to introduce you to a special place – the Kanda River. The river flows through the neighborhood of two of our dormy inns; Premium Kanda and Akihabara. It then merges with the Sumida River under the Ryogoku Bridge and flows into Tokyo Bay. The Kanda River, which runs from west to east in central Tokyo, was an important water source for people in the Edo period (1600-1868). It became even better known to Tokyoites after the hit folk song “Kandagawa”, named after the Kanda River and later used in a film, was released in 1973.
Let’s go on a tour that you won’t find in a tourist guidebook – to discover Tokyo from the Kanda River. The adventure begins at the dormy inn PREMIUM Kanda.
We start with a three-minute walk from the hotel to Awajicho Station on the Tokyo Subway Marunouchi Line.
Subway Marunouchi Line (Red Train) running over the Kanda River.
Start your trip by taking the subway from Awajicho Station on the Tokyo Subway Marunouchi line and get off 25 minutes later at Honancho Station, the last stop.
👇
Use exit Mb03, then walk 500m along Loop Road No.7 until you reach the Kanda River.
👇
Once you are there, it’s time to find the source of the river. Note that if you turn left at the river, it will take you back to Tokyo. If you go right, it will lead to the source.
👇
As you follow the river walking on a paved path you will see houses, schools and a park. Students are busy on the sport fields and toddlers are playing happily in the nursery school yard. The paved riverside path is a popular walking route for residents in the area. Enjoy this wonderful residential atmosphere as it is not something you will normally experience in the busy city center.
Keep walking along the Kanda River and you will pass Takaido Station on the Keio Inokashira Line.
👇
Tip: If you get tired of walking you can jump on the train. It is about four stations to your next destination, Inokashira Park.
The Source of the Kanda River; our destination, Inokashira-koen Station.
The water in Inokashira Park is pure spring water and was used for domestic purposes in the Edo period.There are many attractions near Inokashira Park, including the Ghibli Museum and Inokashira Park Zoo.
The journey does not end at the source of the Kanda River. Musashino City has been ranked “the most desirable city in Tokyo to live in”. The shopping arcade is a pleasant 10-minute walk from Inokashira Park.
As you walk up from Inokashira Park, you will come to a street lined with fashionable cafes and shops.
Go straight on this street and cross the main street to Kichijoji Station.
JR Kichijoji Station.Kichijoji is a city where multinational cultures meet.
After the long walk along the Kanda River, it’s time to enjoy shopping and dining in the Kichijoji area. It is an ethnic city with a strong cross-cultural atmosphere that is different from Shinjuku and Shibuya.
If you need to return to dormy inn Premium Kanda, climb on to the train at Kichijoji Station.
If you take the Chuo Line to Tokyo Station you can reach Kanda Station in 30 minutes without having to transfer trains.
Back at the hotel it’s time to relax and enjoy a soothing bath and sauna.
You can do worse than take time out from your busy schedule to enjoy a stroll along the Kanda River for a not-in-the-tourist-guidebook experience..

世界のドーミーインファンの皆様こんにちは！
DOMINISTYLE国際交流部スタッフのアイオワいんこです。
下町歴史部の田中教授の旅に大いに刺激を受け、
今回は東京のガイドブックに載っていない
ニッチな旅の時間を皆様に紹介致します。
田中教授が“歴史”の旅、「それならば！」と、
私が挑戦したのは神田川の源流を探す現代の旅。
いずれまた海外からのDOMINISTAがこのブログを見て、
東京めぐりをしていただけるように…、
そんな思いでリサーチしてまいりました！
神田川。
ドーミーインPREMIUM神田や
ドーミーイン秋葉原の近くを流れるこの川は、
両国橋付近で墨田川に合流し、東京湾へと流れて行きます。
東京都心を西から東に流れる神田川は、
江戸時代の人々の大切な水源であり、
昭和の時代にはフォークソングの唄名にもなった、
東京都民であれば誰もが知る人気の川なんです。
今回は我々国際交流部スタッフがドーミーインPREMIUM神田を拠点として、この神田川の源流を辿る『東京神田川ツアー』を企画しました！
それでは、ツアー出発！！
👇
ドーミーインPREMIUM神田から
地下鉄丸の内線淡路町駅まで徒歩3分。
まずは電車で移動します。
ホテル近隣を流れる神田川と丸の内線。
地下鉄丸の内線に乗って約25分で、終点の方南町駅到着です！！
👇
Mb03出口から環状7号線を右方向へ約500メートル歩くと神田川にぶつかります。
👇
さーて、ここから神田川の源流を目指してLet’s Go!!
左手は東京都心、右手は源流に繋がっています！！
👇
川沿いは綺麗に整備されており、
住宅や学校、公園等が並んでいます。
学校のグランドではスポーツに励む学生達の様子が窺え、
その脇の保育園では園児が楽しそうに遊んでいる姿も見る事が出来ます。
川沿いは近隣住民の良い散歩コースとなっており、
都心では感じる事の出来ない
住宅地ならではの日本人の生活の一部を感じる事が出来るんです。
神田川沿いを歩いていると、途中京王井の頭線の高井戸駅前を通過します。
👇
神田川源流の旅の最終目的地である井之頭公園。
公園内の池より湧き水が流れ、
江戸庶民の生活水として利用されました。
井之頭公園の近くには「ジブリの森美術館」や
「井之頭自然文化園」もあり見所が沢山あります。
さて、神田川の源流の旅はまだまだ続きます。
ここ武蔵野の地は自然だけでなく、
「東京で一番住みたい街ランキング」で常に上位の吉祥寺があるんです。ここ井之頭公園からも歩いて10分弱で辿り着けます！！
井之頭公園からこの階段を登ると…
おしゃれなカフェやショップ並ぶ通りに出ます。
その通りを真っ直ぐ進み、
大通りを渡ると吉祥寺駅に辿り着きます！！
さて…
長い神田川沿いの散策後は、
吉祥寺の街で腹ごしらえとショッピングを楽しみましょう！！
新宿や渋谷とはまた違った異文化テイストが強いエスニックな街です。
そして、ドーミーイン神田へ戻るのも、
ここ吉祥寺駅からはとても簡単なんです。
中央線で東京駅方面に乗れば、
乗り換えなしで30分で神田駅まで行けるんです！
旅の締め、ドーミーイン神田に戻って、
疲れた身体を大浴場とサウナで癒して下さい。
いかがですか？
田中教授から始まった歴史の旅は、
現代に乗り換え、
ドーミーインPREMIUM神田発着のデイトリップになったのでした…
さあ、皆さん、ガイドブックに載らない東京の神田川散策ツアーを是非トライして下さいね！

도쿄를 가로지르는 자그마한 하천 ‘칸다 강'(神田川)
칸다 강은 도쿄의 미타카시의(三鷹市) ‘이노카시라 연못’에서 발원하여 동쪽으로 도쿄를 가로질러, ‘스미다 강'(隅田川)에 합류합니다.
하류 지역인 칸다 부근에는 도미인 프리미엄 칸다와 도미인 아키하바라가 위치 해 있어, 이 도미인에 묵으셨던 분들은 모르는 사이에 칸다 강을 지나셨을 수도 있겠네요.
오늘은 이 칸다 강을 따라 도쿄의 여러 관광지를 소개 해 드리겠습니다.
먼저 ‘칸다’(神田) 지역은 회사가 밀집되어 있는 비즈니스가 입니다만, 아키하바라와 아주 가깝고 ‘니혼바시’와 ‘도쿄역’과도 연결 되어 있어 많은 분들이 찾는 지역입니다.
(칸다 지역은 유명한 카레집이 많기도 합니다!)
칸다에서 북쪽에 위치한 ‘아키하바라’(秋葉原)는 전자상가로 시작한 거리로, 지금은 애니메이션과 게임문화의 메카로 자리잡아 세계적으로 유명한 관광지가 되었습니다.
하류인 칸다지역에서 벗어나 원류를 향해 거슬러 올라가면 곧 ‘오차노미즈'(御茶ノ水) 지역에 다다릅니다.
악기상가와 대학병원등이 모여있는 오차노미즈는 아키하바라와 붙어있기 때문에 아키하바라와 함께 관광하시는 분들이 많습니다.
오차노미즈에서 조금 더 올라가면 ‘스이도바시’(水道橋) 바로 도쿄 돔이 위치해 있는 지역입니다.
도쿄 돔주변에는 ‘도쿄 돔 시티’라는 작은 테마파크와 쇼핑센터도 함께 위치해 있기때문에 항상 관광객이 많은 지역입니다.
(도미인 고라쿠엔이 이 지역에 위치 해 있습니다.)
이제 칸다 강의 원류인 이노카시라 연못을 소개 해 드리겠습니다.
이노카시라 연못은 도쿄 중심가에서 조금 떨어진 미타카시에 위치해 있습니다.
오리배나 보트를 탈 수 있을 정도의 넓은 연못을 중심으로 이노카시라 공원이 조성 되어있고, 넓은 공원에는 산책로가 조성되어 있어 사계절의 자연을 즐길 수 있습니다.
휴일에는 공원 곳곳에서 작은 공연과 프리마켓이 열리고, 공원 끝자락에는 애니메이션 제작사인 ‘지브리’의 지브리 뮤지엄이 위치 해 있어 가족 단위의 관광객들이 많이 찾는 장소입니다.
이노카시라 공원에서 북쪽으로 나오면 독특한 분위기의 키치조지 역(吉祥寺)에 다다릅니다.
키치조지역 부근은 백화점과 쇼핑몰은 물론 시장골목골목 모여 있는 술집과 근사한 재즈바 제각기 독특한 분위기의 카페 등 다양한 문화가 어우러진 지역으로 많은 사람들의 사랑을 받는 지역입니다.
오늘은 칸다강을 따라 여러 지역을 소개해 드렸습니다.
특히 키치조지는 개인적으로 추천하는 지역이니 꼭 한번 방문해 보시길!
