早稲田商店会会長からご挨拶
Message from the President of Waseda Stores Association

東京を代表する学生の街、早稲田。
その中でも古い歴史を誇る早稲田商店会は、東京さくらトラム(都電荒川線)早稲田駅からリーガ―ロイヤルホテル東京、早稲田大学北門までをエリアとしています。

東京に残る唯一の都電、荒川線は地域の身近な足として長年親しまれています。その新宿区唯一の区間である早稲田~面影橋区間は、都内屈指の桜の名所神田川に沿って走り、入学式のころには車窓から見事な満開の桜が見られます。

早稲田と言うと、学生街のイメージがありますが、早稲田商店会エリアは、大学の喧噪から少し離れた、この神田川沿いの桜並木のように落ち着いた生活感あふれる昔ながらの商店街です。住民には大学生も多く、彼らは地域に根を張った住民や商店主に溶け込み、安心安全なまちづくりや皆で子どもたちを育んでいく早稲田ならではの文化を形成しています。

早稲田商店会は、学生と共に「早稲田魂」を体現する町として、日本有数の大学町の名に恥じぬよう、早稲田地球感謝祭をはじめ、これからも様々な企画を打ち出していきます。学生と一体となったまちづくりを、どうぞご覧にいらしてください。
