This video takes viewers on a walking tour of the residential alleys near Machiya Station (町屋駅) in Arakawa, Tokyo. Originally planning to explore the north side, the creator was drawn to the narrow alleys of the south side and decided to wander through this charming residential district.

The walk begins near 6-19 Arakawa, Arakawa-ku, Tokyo, showcasing a mix of modern and older buildings (07:16). The journey continues through a neighborhood rich with one-story houses (16:16), offering a nostalgic atmosphere. The video also features the Arakawa 6-chome Disaster Prevention Plaza (荒川六丁目防災広場) at 35:10, a key area for community safety and resilience. Finally, the walk concludes at the Toden Arakawa Line (都電荒川線) at 01:14:14, highlighting Tokyo's unique tram system.

This video is perfect for those interested in a quiet, immersive stroll through Tokyo's lesser-explored residential areas, revealing both historical and modern elements of everyday life in the city.
