The Rakanjigawa stream is the very first stream culvert I walked along. Today, I returned to the stream. The stream culvert trail began at the confluence of the Meguro river and the Rakanjigawa stream. I headed for the husk of the headwaters along the stream. There was a little spring and a very big river wall along the stream. The path on the stream often became very narrow. The narrow zigzagging old path had surprised me the first time I found it. I had never known there was such a path in Meguro. The trail ended in an area, in which there had been the Meguro racecourse. There were now just houses. Suddenly, I wanted to drink beer. I left there thinking of the phantom, though it was really there, racetrack. I went to the Irish pub Seamus O'hara and had beer.
