This is a household goods store built in the early Showa period (1926-1989). It features a front wall covered in small copper plates ingeniously combined. The interior is a reproduction of how the shop was in the 1930s. Tenement houses have been moved to the back of the shop to produce the street atmosphere that existed in those days.
