S10·E19 – Tokyo, Asagaya: By the Goldfish Pond
2019-07-05 • ? min
Tokyo, Asagaya. In front of the station, surrounded by buildings and apartments, there is a slightly unusual place. It is a fishing pond specializing in goldfish that has been in operation for over 90 years since the Taisho era. For 600 yen per hour, including a fishing rod and bait, it's easy to drop by without any preparation, and people come and go all day long. There are regulars who have been coming for over 50 years, salarymen with extra time on their hands due to work-style reforms, and even women who catch nearly 100 goldfish in a single day. What do they all think as they gaze at the pond filled with countless goldfish?
