Pokopen Yokocho (market)

In the old days, everyone played cans and hide-and-seek. The nostalgic atmosphere of the Showa 30s is reproduced. A variety of events are held by local shops, such as restaurants such as delicious Chinese soba noodles, croquettes, and yakitori unique to Ozu City, merchandise shops selling antiques, toys, and miscellaneous goods, and a corner where you can play with stilts, soap bubbles, and bay sesame seeds.

Nostalgic signs and goods from the Showa era create a space that can be enjoyed by both children and adults.
