TOKYO, Nov 19 (News On Japan) –
A new shopping street, set to be Japan’s longest, will open in Tokyo’s Asakusa area on November 20th. Spanning 3 kilometers, it aims to surpass Osaka’s Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street, which currently holds the title at 2 kilometers.
The shopping street’s highlight will be its focus on ramen, featuring around 20 ramen shops. Branded as a ‘Ramen Street,’ it is expected to attract a significant influx of visitors, with organizers aiming to double the current numbers. The project seeks to expand foot traffic beyond central Asakusa, contributing to the area’s overall revitalization.
