Sunday in Sunroad Shotengai

Shotengai are traditional pedestrian shopping centres in Japan.  Many are covered  with glass roof panels, like this one in Kichijoji that I explored yesterday.  It is called Kichijoji SunroadThey are usually linear, with side streets and arches at either end and are lined with small stores,  100 yen shops and chain stores along with quirky stalls and interesting food.  This one had a retro feel with  Nakamichi and Daiyagai are other nearby shotengai - I think they all blended into one another.
