The Marugame Torimachi Shopping Street is a traditional covered arcade located in the heart of Marugame, making it a convenient stop between Marugame Station and Marugame Castle. This retro shopping street offers a glimpse into the past, though many shops are now closed. However, you'll find a mix of established businesses and newer cafes and restaurants. The arcade provides shelter from the weather, making it a pleasant route to explore. Don't miss the Machi-no-Eki Akitora-no-Yakata, a unique building serving as a community gallery and rest area. While some reviewers note the street's decline, efforts are being made to revitalize the area, offering a blend of old and new.
