Near Shiinamachi Station lies a shopping street that flourished around 1955. Set slightly back from the road, this retro building richly retains its Showa-era charm. Judging by the closed shutters, it appears to no longer be in business.

This former gun shop is now closed. In Japan, gun ownership is strictly regulated, but licensed hunters and clay target shooters can buy rifles, shotguns, and air guns. With only about 13 shops currently operating in Tokyo, it was once a rare find.
