This is the busy street with dense people all over the world, and you can literally smell Asia all in one. Chinese people are buying many products in a drag store and Iranian guys are selling kebabs, Japanese highschool girls are buying used-clothings and salaryman gets drunk from daytime. Especially the weekend, people gather there to buy cheap products literally from all over Asia.
Out of many shops in Ameyoko, some of the places we highly recommend. Please see the following list.
