There are a lot of shops in the market selling a wide range of items, from various vegetables and food ingredients to kitchen appliances, flowers, clothes, meat, seafood, and even street food. Some accept payments via QR codes, while others still rely on cash. One morning when I visited, it seemed the market was not yet fully active. There were fewer people, and the product stock appeared to be from the previous day and hadn't been replenished. I would recommend coming in the afternoon or evening instead, as that's when the new stock of products will be restocked. Also, even though different shops sell the same product, they may have different prices, even if it's a small difference.

This is a real old school outdoor shopping mall with a covered pedestrian walking area. The are a couple of hundred yards of small restaurants, green grocers, clothing shops, flower shops, specialty stores, and a 100 yen shop. Places like this seem to be slowly disappearing, so it has a real retro charm. Not many young people around when I was there, but then again it was early afternoon on a school day.
