Author Akesato explores and introduces the “Showa Deep Streets” of Chiba.

Welcome to a nostalgic amusement park.
Fascinated by old places and history since childhood, when “lands” appeared in the most unexpected corners, Akesato continued her research and launched the blog “Deep Land” during her university years. Now in her 20s, she passionately documents historic inns, former red-light districts, bathhouses, streets, shops, and other hidden gems, focusing primarily on Chiba.
