An authentic, Showa era style shopping area, but with a mixture of buildings old and new. There are various shops that look like they're decades old, but also various cafes, bars, and an eclectic range of eateries (with food from several countries). Not too many people either, so easy to walk about.

When is the best time to visit Osu Shotengai Shopping Street (Nagoya, Japan)?
