TV Tokyo's popular information variety program, "Shutsugen! Ad Machikku Tengoku" (Saturdays at 9 PM), will feature the area around Higashi-Nagasaki Station (Toshima Ward, Tokyo) as the second installment of its Seibu Line series in its May 23rd broadcast.
Higashi-Nagasaki Station is just two stops from Ikebukuro Station. The surrounding area has a peaceful atmosphere, but in recent years, it has attracted attention from young people with the increase in trendy and popular new shops that are worth making a special trip for.
The program will introduce the origins of the station name and the city name "Nagasaki," as well as the bell on top of the station building. Popular gourmet items will also be featured, such as chocolates filled with konpeito candy, a cafe run by a foreign owner who loves puns, the first branch of a popular Chinese restaurant chain, a gyoza season pass, sushi made by an 84-year-old proprietress, and a popular diner with long lines.
Furthermore, we'll cover the incredibly exciting Beyblade show in front of a long-established toy store, a local rakugo (traditional Japanese storytelling) performance where the audience joins in for a post-show celebration, and a mysterious new shop where the store changes daily, both during the day and at night.
The guests were model Saya Ichikawa and Nishida from the comedy duo "Lalande".
