From the left, the main store, umbrella store, ladies’ shoes store, men’s shoes store. You will be surprised to see the prices of the items in these stores.
There are items out of the stores as well. For instance, you will find a variety of suitcases and their covers with an Ukiyo-e (Japanese traditional painting) painting on it! This would be good for visitors who need more suitcases and their covers!

Huge variety of items!!
There are things that can be used while staying in Japan and also souvenirs.
It is becoming popular for sightseers to buy things for them as well as for their friends.
Besides these things, there are famous brand-name products at incredible prices.
There is a reason why they are sold at those incredible prices. It is because they are forfeited pawned articles. Therefore, most of them are second hand items, but definitely originals. If you would find an item of your taste, it would be very lucky for you!
