Trend Chart
“Comfort” Rating: 3 /5 points
The interiors of the stores are not large, but the aisles are wide, so you can walk around the stores at your leisure.
“Length of fun time” Rating: 3 /5 points
There are about 50 stores, so it will take you 2 to 3 hours to look around carefully.
“Price range” Rating: 2 /5 points
There are some one-of-a-kind items made by artisans, so the prices are higher than the market price.
“Suitable for rainy days” Rating: 5 /5 points
It’s completely indoors, so there’s no need to worry about rain.
“Night-friendly” Rating: 3 /5 points
Some shops are open until late at night, but the entrance closes at midnight, so you can’t enter.
“Uniqueness” Rating: 4 /5 points
We think it’s relatively rare to have a facility where shops run by creators are gathered.
