This train line overpass between Mitaka and Musashi-Sakai was apparently used by Dazai Osamu in his time living in Mitaka. He supposedly drowned in the Tamagawa Canal which flows past Mitaka and Kichijoji, but is now nothing more than a shallow creek. I followed the map of the other famous sites he frequented in the area.
The steps and bridge were built in 1929 and have remained the same since. The above picture of Dazai was taken in 1947.
Due to the holidays, the week 37 post was delayed. So two posts this week for the second week of January. Happy New Year!
