This time, I explored the area west of the Tsukuba Express line, stretching toward the Nikko Kaido.
As you move into this area, the boundary between Saitama Prefecture and Adachi City becomes unexpectedly intricate. The Kenaga River, which runs along the northern edge, is a clear example. At first glance, it appears to trace a clean border, but in reality, the two sides weave into one another, forming an irregular boundary.
In some places, the river even splits the grounds of a single facility, which made me wonder how people working there navigate being on two sides at once
This area, which could be described as the “backbone” of Adachi City, is home to many public facilities. Being close to the administrative center, it has a distinct atmosphere compared to the bustling hub of Kita-Senju.
While Kita-Senju serves as a major transportation hub where people from outside the ward constantly pass through, this neighborhood feels more deeply rooted in the daily lives of its residents. At the sports centers and cultural halls, the quiet energy of local events seemed to mark the arrival of early spring.
