Showa no Machi in Bungotakada
A shopping district in Bungotakada City, northeastern Oita Prefecture. Retro storefronts line the 550-meter-long street, recreating the atmosphere of the late 1950s and early 1960s, when the town was bustling with activity. It offers a nostalgic experience that feels as if time has stood still. Each store displays a valuable tool once used there as its “one-store, one-treasure” exhibit.
Showa no Machi really feels nostalgic. The entire street has preserved many vintage signs and old buildings, and walking through it feels like traveling back to Japan's Showa era.

Interpark Shopping Village
An open-air shopping mall where you can enjoy the changing seasons in a spacious, refreshing environment. With the concept of “an open space beneath the blue sky,” it offers the feeling of strolling through a town while shopping. The wide walkways make it comfortable for strollers and wheelchairs alike. Conveniently located along a major highway and offering a free shuttle bus from JR Utsunomiya Station, it’s easily accessible and draws many visitors, especially on weekends.
There are so many different stores here—Uniqlo, Muji, Daiso, you name it. Perfect spot to stock up on daily essentials all in one go.

Olive Hill Tama New Town Branch
Olive Hill offers a wide range of delicious cuisine from Italy, a country known for its gastronomy. Each dish is cooked and seasoned simply to bring out the best flavor of the ingredients.
The walkways are spacious and the dining area is really comfortable. You can order everything on a tablet, and the food comes out super fast—no long wait! The drink bar is a big hit with the kids 😁
