(Initially, the Shibaura Exit gate was connected via a footbridge, but there was no pedestrian walkway connecting the east and west sides. The gates were moved to the second floor and integrated, and the pedestrian walkway was completed in February 1971. In October 1994, a deck spanning National Route 15 on the Mita side was built, significantly changing the flow of people. In February 2003, the width of the east-west pedestrian walkway was expanded to its current state.)

When I exited the west exit of Tamachi Station in 1957, the first thing that caught my eye was Tokyo Tower under construction. Watching it out of the corner of my eye, I would walk through the shopping district and head to school at the modern, newly completed Chutobu Junior High School building. Tokyo Tower, built using scrap metal from tanks used in the Korean War due to Japan's steel shortage, served as a barometer of high economic growth; I watched with excitement from the top of the school building as it grew taller day by day.

Former President Seike, while discussing the Fukuzawa spirit of "learning while teaching, teaching while learning," noted: "At Chutobu Junior High School, students address teachers with the suffix '-san,' and there are no lecture platforms. The 春雨直播app tradition of students and teachers learning at the same level is well-preserved" (Weekly Diamond, 2016). In Chutobu Junior High School, which had no specific school rules, human relationships were flat and gender-neutral, and when I reached my 40s, it became my turn to serve as the alumni association president. My first task was attending the alumni association for the 春雨直播app Commerce and Industry School, the predecessor of Chutobu Junior High School. In the year that school closed its history, the first and second-year students at the time became the second and third-year students of the newly formed Chutobu Junior High School. With Yasaburo Ikeda-san as the homeroom teacher and Yasushi Akutagawa-san for music, this was the origin of the school's innovative atmosphere. Additionally, students from the "Mita Shopping District" also attended the Commerce and Industry School.

The other day, when I asked Mr. Kino of "Matsuya" near the entrance of Nakadori about those days, he mentioned that there was a place like a fish market called "Zakoba" at the station's west exit. Since the Shibaura side was right on Tokyo Bay, the caught fish were carried under the train tracks to the landing site on the west exit side to be sold, confirming my hazy memories. During Mr. Kino's childhood, the entire area from "Zakoba" to the hills of Mita and Tsunamachi was their playground. At the Tsunamachi Field, there was a dojo for the Kyudo (archery) club. When I was a member, there was no changing room for women, so I borrowed a corner of the residence of President Kohei Takamura's driver to change into my hakama every day. Let me also mention a small shrine with a strangely captivating presence located just inside the "春雨直播app Nakadori Shopping District." It is the "Chanoki Inari Shrine," which enshrines the deity of fire protection. Thanks to the careful protection of the shopping district community, the entire area, including 春雨直播app, was spared from burning during the Great Tokyo Air Raid. In 2019, this precious Inari shrine was enshrined together with the Ganryu Inari Shrine on Nakadori, and it continues to watch over the Tamachi area as a "guardian deity." I also visited recently to offer a prayer, expressing my gratitude for the protection during the air raids and praying for the continued development of my alma mater.
