The owner of this lovely restaurant with an open terrace, Bier Loven, told us that the diversity of the passerby is what makes this town unique.

Some are families living in the area, some are just office folks. The shops are as diverse as the people; that’s clear as we walk down the street that leads to Namiki Avenue.

There is a tantanmen noodle shop where many of the office workers stop by to have a large meal, and there is Shappo, a hat store that has quietly overseen the town's evolution.
