	Shinjuku Kabuki-cho I graduated from Waseda University and visited Kabuki-cho after 30 years in the daytime. Like old-time, the youth are full of Kabuki-cho. Although the town become clean, the dirty homeless increased.

	Koma Theater and the remain of the fountain which were in front of Milano-za. . Here, after the Waseda vs. Keio baseball game was over, Waseda students, strangers to each other, used to stand   shoulder-to-shoulder and sing school songs "Miyako no Seihoku" and others. Some of them braved themselves to jump into a near-by fountain. Now,only a monument of the old fountain stands, and today, it is the homeless people's favorite place to nap.

	The factory of Lotte in Shin Okubo .It was the chewing gum factory which was full of the scent of the chewing gum along Yamanote Line when I was attending to the Toyama high school and Waseda University, and still is. This zone was also the Japanese style love hotel street at that time.
	The second-hand book market was here in front of the Takatanobaba Station Although I wrote to the homepage when I walked along Tozai Line, there is no secondhand bookseller street which existed to the neighborhood of Waseda University mostly before.
