This shopping street is said to be the shortest in japan. it is a narrow street that stretches east from shijo-dori up shinkyogoku-dori, and is lined with a variety of shops on both sides. there is a rich lineup of shops, including cafes and popular lunch spots loved by people of all ages and genders, a chinese medicine pharmacy, and a select shop for miscellaneous goods. the retro atmosphere, which has a hint of the showa era, is also attractive.
