Site of Higuchi Ichiyo’s Former Residence

A narrow road residential area, let's visit quietly!

Original Text

The neighborhood is an ordinary residential area with narrow roads. There is no signboard. Please refer to the attached image. In addition, the stairs and paths next to the former residence are also tasteful. I remember Higuchi Ichiyo, who lost his eldest son and father one after another, and surpassed his mother and sister by needle work and pawnbroker.

think of old literary masters

Original Text

Well, people today don't read Ichiyo Higuchi's book ... There is a place related to the literary masters of 々 in Bunkyo Ward, so it's fun to go around as a literary walkway.

the town where literary masters lived

Original Text

The area around Kikuzaka, which extends northwest from Hongo 3-chome, is famous as a place where literary masters once lived. The ruins of Higuchi Ichiyo's former residence were a little difficult to understand because there was no explanation board like the ruins of Kenji Miyazawa's former residence nearby, but it was a nice place with a quiet and nice atmosphere.

It's a very difficult place to understand.

Original Text

There was a handwritten information board along the narrow road parallel to the south side of Kikuzaka. The actual residence site is said to be near the narrow alley from there. I understood because tourists came out, but it is a difficult place to understand.

It's in a very difficult place.

I was a little lost without any information or signboard. A place like the back alley is the site of Ichiyo Higuchi's former residence, but many people now live there, so I visited quietly. I was surprised that there are still such places, such as houses, wells, stairs, etc. that are built so that they approach narrow streets, which are like a movie set.
