Tokyo’s Greatest Shopping Street Cluster #tokyo
I found a huge hidden network of shopping streets in Tokyo. The last one even had a sake party. I started my walk from Ebaramachi station. There is a small local street calledamachi. You walk through it, cross the green corridor and boom, another one. Hatanodai Chomeni. It’s already busier here and no surprise, Hatanodai is a bigger station. Then I crossed the railway and got into Hatanodai. Here it feels like a major shopping hub. I also like these lanterns adding such a festive vibe. But three streets are not enough, right? So I kept going north and just 10 minutes later, Nishiama. This area already feels kind of classy, don’t you think? But the next one was even wilder. After another green corridor, I reached Mousashi Koyama. This one is a real big boss. It just never ends. And so many people. Keep walking to the end and you will hit two more streets near Nakonobu station. On the last one, there was a sake party going on. As someone researching clusters of urban activity in Tokyo, this area felt like a real gold mine to me.
There’s a whole area in Tokyo where shopping streets connect one after another.
Starting from Ebaramachi and ending near Nakanobu, I walked through seven different shotengai — each with its own vibe, local stores, and even green corridors between them.
For anyone who loves exploring local life, this is one of the authentic areas in the city.
You can literally spend a few hours wandering through Tokyo’s network of shopping streets!
