Izakayas are a great way to mingle with locals, practice you Japanese if you are living in Japan, or just get to have a friendly chat with the locals if you are a tourist!

I personally go here for 100 yen shops, authentic Japanese curry or massage/stretching parlors. The list Cal's living around the area appreciate living here because of the bustle life style and friendly elderly in the area, not to mention the cheap huge super markets found along the arcade.
