💡 Tips for Visitors

Most shops are cash-only, so bring yen before visiting. The street gets extremely crowded during New Year (January 1-3) when over 3 million visitors come for hatsumode, so visit on weekdays for a more relaxed experience. Try the local specialty kuzumochi and watch craftsmen make senbei (rice crackers) fresh in shop fronts along the street.
