Kashiya Yokocho
The good old small-time candy stores are lined up at the Yokochō. There were about 70 houses lined up in the beginning of Shōwa, and multiple sweets were produced and wholesaled. As of now, there are about 20 houses that produces and sells contrived cheap sweets such as the mint candy and Kintaro candy, which provides a nostalgic feel and allows both, adults and children to enjoy having the mind of a child. It is also selected as the Ministry of Environment’s “The 100 Best Scented Sceneries”.
