this Dean’s Tokyo Snapshots series ( #dean-tokyo as a specific tag) is my photographic diary for my family trip to Tokyo. Due to busy schedule and a naughty boy with us, I won’t be able to write much but I will make sure that every photo that I choose means something, at least to me… I hope you enjoy this photo series as well as me! Feel free to comment but I probably won’t have much time making replies often. Apologies first. :p

Here is my final post for my photography for Tokyo’s historical tram - Arakawa Line. Previously please check my first two post below and this one actually shares its final destination - the Waseda University area.

🍙 Dean’s Tokyo Snapshots 🍙 Arakawa Line #1 東京老電車荒川線之一：時光請上車

🍙 Dean’s Tokyo Snapshots 🍙 Arakawa Line #2 東京老電車荒川線之二：途經飛鳥

歡迎來到荒川線的終點站－早稻田。是的，這裡就是日本知名高等學府，早稻田大學（Waseda University）的所在。原本我們到這裡就要打道回府了，但是早大的名頭實在太響亮了，而且，跟荒川線一樣，光是名稱就讓人很嚮往… 比起東京大學這樣沒特色的名字，早大顯得更有貴族氣一些（是不是我就不知道了）。

於是我刻意繞到了早大的校門口再往地鐵站前去。要不是時間晚了，又開始下雨，否則我應該會去逛逛校園，吃吃他們知名的美麗食堂。

早大附近還真是美啊！一點都沒有大學城的雜亂與平價感，我所看到之處，還是非常優雅與高級呢！到了校門口拍照，還偶遇一台灣女孩隻身前來日本遊玩。

終於走到早稻田地鐵站，下次有緣再見了，早稻田大學！

Wow, this has been dramatic! Steem is back on top but Verge at the same time is still chasing us so closely!! I thought we would take the lead and then win the race with ease but our component has shown some real spirit to fight. So how can we back down in the final moment?

Come on!! Steemians! Only less than 8 hours and the game will end. WE HAVE TO WIN!!

This is my final vote. God bless Steem.

天啊！這也太刺激了吧！我在旅行，沒隨時看這場比賽，竟然我們先是領先了，後來又落後了，現在以些微差距領先！對手Verge也算是奮勇抵禦，能量竟然持續提升，保持著競爭姿態… 對手這麼努力，我們更是不能輸啊！！只剩下八小時了！快啊，每一張票都很重要，讓我們跑到終點吧！！

以上是我的最後一票。祝福Steem，直取大位。

This is the 2nd post for my photography for Tokyo’s historical tram - Arakawa Line. Previously please check my first post and then proceed with this historical ride!

🍙 Dean’s Tokyo Snapshots 🍙 Arakawa Line #1 東京老電車荒川線之一：時光請上車

續行荒川線，漸漸乘客增加，車站附近也越來越熱鬧。

途經王子駅前後，來個大回轉，經過飛鳥山，是個小丘，上面有個公園。我們在這裡下車，我帶孩子去飛鳥山公園瞧瞧。

哇！上面有遊樂園，看來他要瘋玩了….

還有退休的電車與蒸汽老車頭（Steam！）

終於離開公園，繼續前行。

在日本對著人拍照是很不禮貌的行為，我只好盡量發揮偷拍本事….. XD 對不起啦，乘客們！

抵達另一邊的終點。

下一回，是最終回，還能有什麼呢？請繼續期待吧～～^^

村上春樹曾在《挪威的森林》裡這樣描繪荒川線的風景：「電車緊貼著一家家的屋簷外行進，有一家的曬衣陽台上一連排列著十個蕃茄盆栽，在那旁邊一隻大黑貓正在曬太陽。還可以看見小孩子們在庭院裡吹肥皂泡泡，不知道從哪裡傳來石田塬美的歌，甚至還飄著咖啡的香味。電車像縫合著如此親密的後街般滑溜溜的跑著。」

光是憑這一點，來到東京，我就一定要去搭一下荒川線。且別說，這名稱如此有蒼茫之美，且我對於在地面軌道運行且有老歷史的東西，向來沒有抵抗力。

於是我們來了。從三ノ輪駅這一側上車囉！這一帶確實是充滿舊日風情啊～～

請跟著我的鏡頭一起上車吧～～

帶著孩子，以及這電車比想像中擁擠，都讓我們沒法好好地徹底體驗這條線的風情。不過，初步感覺是，前面頗有村上村樹描述的感覺，到了中間段之後，就慢慢似乎變成只是一種交通通勤工具了….

下回待續～～～

From this trip to Tokyo, so far we have found out a difference as compared to our previous trip here …. we have seen so many stores selling Taiwan style food or services or some stores that are from Taiwan and doing business here. Meanwhile, yesterday we saw the news that prominent Taiwanese bookstore chain Eslite(誠品書店) is planning to expand into Japan… wow! courageous…

It felt so weird to see our famous Taiwan railway ricebox here… at triple price though… ^^

So many familiar dishes… really weird…. I definitely wouldn’t go to this restaurant! lol

Wow, they are here too!?

TOKYOTAIWAN, so straightforward…

Even food massage claims to be Taiwan style…

and the real estate agent Sinyi(信義房屋) is here …

If you are expecting me to say that I miss home already, then…. NO! I am not done with Japan yet! Don’t wanna go back just yet!

Don’t let me see anything related to Taiwan again okay!? I am out~
