横丁として何かお役に立てる事は…組合長との話し合いで…..知った！
岩手県釜石市に同じ名前の横丁がある？と
組合長のお母さんの実家が遠野市（神話..カッパが現れる）で知る。
早速,
組合長が釜石へ、報告を聞くなり、大変な惨事、長屋のお店30~40件
全部流される事態
その年から、姉妹交流が始まり….渋谷横丁40件、お客様に声を掛け、募金運動開始
翌年一番の寒い2月、溜まった募金を持って、代表5.6名初めての釜石へ
東京駅ー新幹線に乗りー新花巻駅ー下車ー乗り換えー釜石迄、5時間
１本の線路、4両目の電車で山の中を走る車窓に...遠野駅を中心に3駅,前後
猛吹雪の雪化粧、西で育った私には、感動しっぱなし
夕方釜石市に到着
釜石横丁の組合長（現在85歳女将、今もお元気でお店を切り盛り）に出会う
移動され仮店舗でお店を開いた１件1件ご挨拶したが、皆さん拓磨しく強いと感じた。
あっという間５年間の交流、極寒と春 桜の咲く頃
お客様からお預かりした募金を持って通った事も（又釜石から、組合長他横丁へ御礼に）
その後横丁の開発などのお話を伺ったが、皆さんの高齢化で閉鎖となるが、
数名の方々は今でも頑張ってお店を開店
釜石の皆さんの辛抱強さ、温かい心、これからも時間を作って出かける予定
＊新花巻おすすめー花巻温泉（お湯が素晴らしい）蕎麦ー
おすすめー 釜石線ー遠野駅下車ージンギスカン料理（おすすめ）
釜石市ー毛蟹、牡蠣他、アワビ、昆布、帆立、昆布（うまい）
14 years ago (11 March 2011) 14:46 The Great Tohoku Earthquake occurred.
At that time, I was concerned about the people in the affected areas, and was discussing with our union leader whether there was anything we could do to help them as Shibuya Nonbe Yokocho.
I learned that there was a "Nonbe Yokocho" alley in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture, with the same name as Shibuya "Nonbe Yokocho" because the union leader's mother's family home was in Tono City, Iwate Prefecture (famous for the myth of Kappa appearing).
Our union leader immediately went to Kamaishi's "Nonbe Yokocho".
The terrible disaster washed away all 30 to 40 shops in the tenement house.
We called out to the customers of the 40 Shibuya Yokocho stores and started a fundraising campaign.
That year, the Friendship Yokocho Exchange began.
The following year, in February 2012, five or six representatives from Shibuya's "Nonbe Yokocho" headed to Kamaishi for the first time with the accumulated donations.
We took the Shinkansen train from Tokyo Station, got off at Shin-Hanamaki Station, then changed trains and headed to Kamaishi, which took about five hours.
We were on a single track, we passed through the mountains...three stations around Tono Station.
As someone who grew up in the west, I was deeply moved by the scenery, covered in snow from a fierce blizzard.
After arriving in Kamaishi in the evening, we met the head of the Kamaishi "Nonbe Yokocho" association (an 85-year-old woman who is still healthy and running her shop).
We greeted each of the businesses that had lost their shops in the earthquake and opened new ones in temporary locations, and I felt that they were all strong and resilient.
We continued to interact with them many times after that.
We passed by with donations we had received from customers, sometimes in the freezing cold and snowy scenery, and sometimes in the spring when the cherry blossoms were blooming.
Their union leader came from Kamaishi to thank us for visiting the Yokocho alley.
After that, we heard about the development of the alley, and although many of the restaurants had closed due to the aging of the people, a few people are still working hard to keep their restaurant open.
The patience and warm hearts of the people of Kamaishi are something I'll be making time to visit again and again in the future.
*The recommended food in Shin-Hanamaki is Hanamaki Onsen (the water is amazing).
Soba is also recommended.
The Genghis Khan (mutton or lamb meat grilled on a hot plate) at Tono Station on the Kamaishi Line is also recommended.
Kamaishi City's recommended foods are hairy crabs, oysters, abalone, kelp, scallops, and kelp. (All are delicious!)
