４６.六丁目の桜

阿佐ヶ谷北６丁目は早稲田道りを越えた北の端。
JR阿佐ヶ谷駅近くを流れる桃園川と
西武新宿線鷺宮駅近くを流れる妙正寺川に挟まれた
周囲より４〜５m高い台地になっている。
駅からも遠く、北１丁目と比べると道も広いし、
屋敷森も残っていたりする。
阿佐ヶ谷で一番高い地点はどこだろうと散策していると
突然、桜の大木に出会った。
垣根で仕切られ、ガレージも木の枠。
私が子供の時にはこんな家ばかりで気にも止めていなかったのに
ここだけ時間が止まっているようだ。

46. Cherry Tree in 6 chome

6 chome of Asagaya north is the end of the north beyond Waseda Street.
It is a plateau which is higher than the circumference, between Momozono River
which flows near JR Asagaya station and Myousyou-ji River which flows near 
Saginomiya of Seibu　Shinjuku line. This plateau is a distance from the station, 
and the street is wider than 1 chome of Asagaya north.
The premise's woods also remain as they are.
It is a partition with a fence, and also a garage, which is made of wood.
When I was a child, I didn't turn my mind to such a house, since such a house 
was not a few. 
It seems that time has stopped only here.
