Established in 1948, Jiyugaoka Hikarigai retains a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere amidst the rapidly modernizing area around Jiyugaoka Station. Located just a 1-minute walk from the station, this retro shopping arcade stretches 100 meters and offers a unique shopping experience.

The three-story building houses over 40 shops. The first floor primarily features fashion-related stores such as clothing, shoe, and kimono shops, along with a variety of jewelry stores specializing in antiques and handmade pieces. You'll also find long-standing family-run businesses, including a traditional Japanese sweets shop and a deli, as well as a flower shop and a small pet store, offering a wide and eclectic range of products.

The arcade also hosts temporary pop-up shops in its event space, bringing in new customers and adding to its vibrant atmosphere. The second and third floors are home to bars and izakayas (Japanese pubs), making it a lively spot in the evenings. The arcade is accessible from three entrances, including those facing the Megami-dori street.
