"Bura Tamori" (NHK General TV, Saturday 7:30 pm) is a popular variety show in which the entertainer Tamori visits various towns. In the June 7th broadcast, he will be running around from the main streets to the backstreets of Sangenjaya, one of the most popular areas in Tokyo.

The theme of the trip is "Why is Sangenjaya so interesting? The key to its secret is in the number 3!", and the number 3 is the key word that will unravel a number of mysteries. What was the reason behind the creation of the three-way intersection where National Route 246 and Setagaya Street split, which Tamori says is "Japan's most representative three-way intersection"?

Furthermore, while searching for the three teahouses that gave the place its name, they discover a pottery shop that still has its original name. Tamori is excited by the surprising story the shop owner heard from his grandfather. They also go inside the Triangle Zone, where narrow alleys are packed with restaurants, creating a unique atmosphere. They approach the mystery of the birth of the "Triangle Zone" through the testimonies of people who have been running shops in the area since shortly after the war and have been watching the town.

◇ Comment from Tamori

Sangenjaya is a town where young entertainers and aspiring entertainers often live. The current bustle was born from Japan's representative three-way intersection. It was an interesting town. By the way, when I came to Tokyo from Fukuoka, I didn't notice Sangenjaya at all...I wonder why.
