High ceilings and a cozy retro feeling are reproduced in a charming space.
One part is an old soy sauce factory converted to a nostalgic candy shop. The high ceiling and old quality of the shop hark back to the Showa Era. There is a square such as you might find in an Edo Period backstreet. The furniture and things on display were actually in use during Showa Era.
Old electric poles, a hand pump, large safe, and a grandfather clock・you will remember the barber, the tobacco seller, and that old-fashioned candy maker.
