In 1873, a street lined with shops called Tanukikoji Shopping street was
established. Today it's a fascinating blend of old and new, with historic
shops and trendy stores. Tanukikoji Shopping street stretches over 900 metres
and is a covered arcade with around 200 shops spread over seven blocks.


Tanukikoji Shopping street offers a diverse range of shops, from traditional
hanko (name seal) carvers shops, Thrift stores, popular haunts for Japanese
high school students, and even UFO catcher(Claw machine)and gachapon
machines(Capsule toy machine). You'll also find a variety of cafes and
souvenir shops. It's fun to explore the small alleys that branch off from the
main arcade. We also recommend stopping by a historic knife shop, where you
can admire a collection of knives for various purposes. This tour is very
flexible. You can choose to learn about the arcade's history, or you can
explore the shops at your own pace, chatting with the shopkeepers and finding
unique souvenirs. Your local companion will assist you every step of the way.
