[ 好多人的願望 ] Lots of wishes.
Tokyo has always been one of our favourite cities. It is modern, futuristic and yet so full of traditional and cultural colors. We were largely in the... (continue reading...)
雖然東京來了幾次了, 但這次走在街道上有種很奇特的感覺, 像台北, 像溫哥華 downtown, 走在路上的人的穿著又像倫敦金融區. 不像到了日本, 反而像到了另一個有很多日本旅客的地方. 在這的第一個晚上, 山崎豐子的白色巨塔中"教授出巡" 的畫面居然...

...奇怪的出現在夢境中. 真的是 ooxx.
話說那白色巨塔, 書有上中下三集, 我其實只看了上集的70%, 那時我覺得明明故事plot 就那樣很 straight-forward, 為什麼要講得那麼細, 用三大本書來說這樣的一個故事. 到後來我才發現, 原來書中的那些看似繁瑣的細節, 無論是兩人的對話, 或個人的 mental level 特寫, 就是現實世界的最佳寫照. 真實的世界中人際關係真的是百般交錯, 而且在某些圈子裡, 無論是social 圈或 business 圈, 世界變得更小了. 而且書中複雜的心理也真的很寫實. 看+digest 完後會有種被雷劈到的領悟.

... Ochanomizu area, which is a neighorhood populated by medical universities and musical instrument, ski & snowboard shops.
在京城線的火車上往東京前進. 大約一個小時就可到上野. 算是 control 時間較ok的交通方式.
Taking the Keisei Skyliner, a train ride that lasts about 1 hr. After all, train are more reliable in terms of timing and schedule than buses or cars.

我的小小房間, 但其實比想像中的大. 還滿想去住住看那種 capsule (太空箱?膠囊? ) 型的 hotel..
My room for the short stay. I kinda want to stay at those "capsule"-like hotel some time just for fun. xP

這邊有播台灣的偶像劇!
There's Taiwanese drama here!

A narrow alley near the Ochanomizu Train Station.
在較熱鬧的地方, 連小巷也很整潔+乾淨.
Meiji University
看起來很現代的明治大學.
這附近有一間看起來有點格格不入的教堂 - 復活大教堂, 又名ニコライ堂 (Nikolai-do).
建於1891, 在1923 關東大地震後經過嚴重破壞後有經過多年的重修. 這裡一直都是日本正教會的主址.

The Holy Resurrection Cathedral, also known as St. Nicholai Church is built in the Byzantine style. It was built in 1891 and was heavily damaged during the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. The admission into the church requires 300 yen donation.
之前印象中的東京是 "菸"霧瀰漫. 但現在看來許多地方都禁菸了! 太好了!
The streets now have non-smoking signs. That's excellent because it makes walking outdoor less intimidating.
在馬路上走來走去的醫護人員. 這邊好像還滿常見的... 畢竟這附近也滿多醫院或醫校.
Medical staff on the streets - you'd see them around this area.

Ochanomizu 附近有條街上全是賣樂器的.
This is a street where there are lots of shiny musical instruments for sale.

從來沒看過這麼多店&每一間內擺滿了*閃閃發亮* (very BLING) 的電吉他. 看來electric guitar 在這真的很popular.
There are so many stores packed with very SHINY electric guitars.

People waiting for train.
等待的人群.
交錯的鐵路, 有點像是電影中的未來城市.
這裡叫做"御茶ノ水", 字義是御用的茶水". 原因很簡單, 在江戶時期, 將軍用來泡茶的水就是從這裡來的.
Rail and canal. Ochanomizu in Japanese literally means "tea water". It was named so because the water from this canal was used to make the shogun's (commander/ruler) tea back in the Edo era.

湯島聖堂 (Yushima Seido) . 走過橋時看到了橋邊/下有個看起來很幽靜的日式舊建築, 原來是德川家康時期 (1691) 時所蓋類似孔廟的學堂.
When I passed by the Hijiri-bashi Bridge, I spotted a rather peaceful and solemn dark temple so I detoured to the quiet grounds. The Yushima Seido is a Confucian Temple built at the end of the 17th century (Edo period). It became a state-run school of neo-Confucianism in Japan.
這曾是日本史第一個由政府協辦的高等教育機構, 專門教育武士 (Samurai) & 當時的 “公務員” 關於新儒家思想的一些哲學吧. 原本的建築在 1923 關東大地震時就燒掉了, 現在的是重建的. 據說這裡有全世界最大的孔子雕像, 而且是台灣獅子會在1975年捐贈的. 但我去看時大部分的門都深鎖了, 看起來還有點像廢墟...
The Taiseiden (one of the main halls) is a reconstruction as the original building was burnt down in the Great Kanto Earthquake. Apparently inside the temple, there's the world's largest statue of Confucius that was donated by the Lions Club of Taiwan in 1975. But too bad I guess the area is not open now.

湯島聖堂的地圖和簡介. 這裡也是許多想求學業成功的人來朝拜的地方.
History of the Yushima Seido and the area map. The Yushima Seido is also a place where students would come to pray for success in school and examinations. (hence what you see in the first photo).
東京有許多地方是鬧中取靜, 靜中又有一些.. 有點奇怪的聲音. 像這部燒著爐子（上面有火.. 沒錯..), 擴音器放著一個老先生不知道在唱些什麼奇怪的東西 (不是歌), 但開車的是個打著哈欠的年輕夥子, 這樣的聲音就這樣劃破一個巷子的寧靜.
Although Tokyo is a busy city, there are quiet areas. In some quiet areas, you occassionally hear one of those advertising cars drive by with the speaker saying or singing whatever they're selling. But this one that I saw (there's a burning cauldron thing on the truck...) , I have no idea what it's doing. It just looks rather interesting.

在秋葉原 (很多賣電子東西的地方)。 日本的街道晚上越夜越美麗. 這邊的燈都好亮, 而且放的位置彷彿有律動感.. 就是看起來很活啦.
In the Akihabara area (mega-selling zone for electronic things). The streets of Japan at night are illuminated by different lights at various levels of a building. It makes the city look very much alive.

回台北前的早上，我們到了神田明神 (類似神社的朝拜地方).
The gate to the Kanda shrine (Kanda Myojin).
The gate to the Kanda shrine (Kanda Myojin).
Entering the main doors. This shrine dates back about 1,270 years ago but what we see now is the result of mutliple recontructions due to fire and earthquakes.
進隨神門. 這可是有1,270 多年歷史的神社. 不過經過多次大火和地震, 現有的建築幾乎都有被重修或重建過.

手水舍. The Chozuya Pavilion for ceremonial purification prior to praying at the temple.
Details of the rail ornamentation, a statue of symbolisms, view of the Zuishi mon (隨神門).
During important festivals or dates, there will be a lot of people coming over to pray for a prosperous year (especially for business).
每逢重要節慶時, 這邊就會擠滿了人.

這邊還可辦婚禮...

幫你用夾娃娃機方式占卜的小獅.
Feed it some coins and the little animated/dancing lion will fetch you a Omikuji (a fortune-telling paper).

許多祈福.

過去曾是ruling class 和百姓最重要的祭祀點, 現為商人更要來拜的地方.
The shrine was important to the military class and citizens back in its old days. Now it's important to business people.
