Bright and cheerful place to visit! This street sells a lot of old style food, (Daigaku-imo, Teshoku, specialty Osembe) and older people’s clothing - mompe, aprons, hanten. And also the “Aka-pants” store that sell red under garments for good luck.

The shops have changed around a lot since COVID but generally still the same type of shops.

There is also a market that happens about every 2weeks. At least half of the market store have stopped selling here which is a shame.

But you can still rummage through the boxes, racks and tables for vintage finds, clothes, bags, homewares, jewellery, kimono, obi, and nick-nacks! You’ll find some bargains here and traditionally, it’s not customary to bargain with store holders.

There are also vendors that sell okonomiyaki, yaki-soba, fresh wakame, omochi, oden, seasonal fruit and vegetables.

And don’t mind any harmless oldies who might pull and push you out the way…! It’s all part of the experience.
