💡 Tips for Visitors

Most shops are cash-only, so bring Japanese yen as credit cards are not widely accepted. Visit in the late afternoon or early evening (4-7 PM) when the arcade comes alive with locals shopping for dinner and street food stalls are most active. English signage is limited and few shopkeepers speak English, but locals are friendly and pointing or using translation apps works well for communication.
