💡 Tips for Visitors

Most shops are cash-only, so bring yen with you. The street caters primarily to wholesale buyers, but retail customers are welcome—some shops may have minimum purchase requirements. Visit on weekdays for a more relaxed shopping experience, as many businesses close on Sundays or national holidays, and limited English is spoken so a translation app will be helpful.
