Joyful Minowa Shopping Street

Went at around 10:00 am. Not many shops were open, but the prices were cheaper than other places. There were no tourists, only locals walking around here.

Here you breath the authentic old style Japanese atmosphere. There are several old fashioned shops selling all kinds of merchandise. The supermarket right after the rail crossing is super convenient. In the summer, there's a traditional festival and it's possible to enjoy the parade going around the shopping street.

A local shotengai, it doesn't have the glitz and glamour but it has a lot of local charm. Most of the stores don't cater to tourists, so the visit will be quick for most people. There are a few produce stores and delis so you can get a bite to eat. Recommended only if you want to see how the locals live.

What a wonderful little place to go and buy Japanese side dishes, And also have a nice stroll

We love traditional market and variety food can be purchased here with a good price.

This place is where the locals do their shoppings. Things are much cheaper here.

アーケードのある商店街なので 天候が悪くても買い物しやすい。 こちらの商店街は営業している お店が多く、個性的なお店も あります。

ジョイフル三ノ輪商店街は、昔ながらの雰囲気が残っていて歩くだけでも楽しい商店街です。営業しているお店も多く、今でも活気が感じられます。ドラマなどの撮影にもよく使われているそうで、ちょっと特別な気分になれる場所でした。
