The shopping street itself isn’t anything special. Just your regular, run-of-the-mill covered arcade filled with a mixture of chain stores and independent outlets.
This old school, character-filled side entrance, on the hand hand, is anything but ordinary. A lovely slice of the past with an added dash of modern looks.

I love the addition of an extra overgrown bicycle! 😉

Haha, very true!

with a dash of ‘icing on the cake’ rusty bits that was missing in the last bicycle post. There’s a book/calendar there ;O)
Lee says
Yes, good call. Maybe that missing part was even stolen from one of those others. Does look a bit ill-fitting…

Last time I was in Japan in 2019 many of those malls had lots of empty stores. It was kinda sad to see
Lee says
It depends. Some of them are. Lots of shuttered up places or shops that barely anyone ever visits. This one though was very busy. Big too.
