It's a small alley right across from JR Harajuku Station. On weekends and holidays, the whole street is packed with people, especially lots of young folks.

Ibe Townscape
A town famous as a production area for Bizen ware, counted among Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns. Around JR Ibe Station, traditional kilns, workshops, and galleries lined with pottery pieces are clustered together, making it fun to stroll around the town.
It has a real rural Japan feel. The streets are quiet, and the pottery atmosphere is really strong. There are Bizen ware shops all along the way, and it’s fun to watch people making pottery and browse the pieces. Great for people who like to take it slow and enjoy handmade crafts and traditional culture.

TANABE Digestive Medicine URSO(R)
Ursodeoxycholic acid is actually one of bile acids that exist in our bodies and it is also an active ingredient of the Chinese medicine, “Yutan”.
One time I had some stomach bloating, and my family gave me this to try. It helped a lot after a short while. Now, whenever I live away from home, I always keep some on hand just in case.

Sekaizushi
Sekaizushi is home to fresh sushi and sashimi dishes only available in Niigata, as well as a full range of authentic local fare. The owner is known especially for increasing the number of Niigata sushi fans with his “kiwami” sushi menu, a dish that can be enjoyed at over 20 famous sushi shops in Niigata City.
This place is really popular—I saw a lot of tourists dining here. I loved their spicy chicken dish, and the fried oysters were fantastic too.
If you're not into sushi, they have other dishes you can try!
