Walking Around Tokyo (Ogikubo) 荻窪

A traveler who visited this area once mowed the Ogi that grew naturally around here and built a grass temple to enshrine the Kannon statue. Ogikusado is named “Ogido”. In addition to this, it seems that the place name “Ogikubo” was given because the terrain is a depression. From the Taisho era to the early Showa era, it became a villa in the suburbs of Tokyo, and many cultural figures such as writers, artists, musicians, and critics began to migrate.　#Tokyo #Ogikubo #荻窪
