💡 Tips for Visitors

Most shops are cash-only, so withdraw yen beforehand as ATMs can be limited. Visit early morning or on weekdays to avoid crowds, as this popular street gets very busy with tour groups during midday and weekends. English signage is limited, but shopkeepers are generally welcoming and patient with tourists; consider downloading a translation app to help with communication and reading product descriptions.
