"When arrived at Kagurazaka, there were two-story houses on both sides of a quiet street, blocking the long, narrow road in front of me. The appearance of the house in this photo seems to be exactly the same as the house in the book.

This is the place in Soseki Natsume's novel "Sorekara" (From Then On).

「神楽坂に着くと、静かな通りの両側に二階建ての家があり、目の前の細長い道をふさいでいた」とある。この写真に写っている家の佇まいは、本の中の家と全く同じであるようだ。

夏目漱石の小説『それから』に出てくる場所である。
