Discover castles, old towns, rivers and local legends across the country.Historical Travel StoriesLawrence 東京の東端、かつて「吾嬬（あづま）」と呼ばれた地は、地図の上では姿を消しながらも、街の深層にその痕跡を色濃く残しています。ここは古代の信仰、近代の重工業、そして国家規模の治水事業が交差する、都市のレジリエンス（強靭性）を体現する場所です。歩行を通じてこの「消えた地名」を掘り起こすことは、巨大都市東京の周縁が引き受けてきた、知られざる祈りと闘いの系譜に触れる旅に他なりません。 その物語は、まだこの地が陸地ですらなかった、遥か古代の海岸線から始まります。
