Take Subway Minato Mirai Line to Motomachi-Chukagai Station, Exit 5 .


Motomachi has prospered as the shopping street for the first foreign residents since 150 years ago. Many shops still remaining since then and those shops provides picky about good quality of its products.


Effect of built the giant shopping mall at New town which called Minato-Mirai area, the sales of the local shopping streets has been stagnating for a long time. However, Motomachi shopping street is very popular for its uniqueness. Also, there are many nice bar on the back alley. I think you like the atomosphere at there in the evening.

Local people those who called "Hamakko" feels honor and has pride when they shopping at there.
