With an entrance right next to the terminus Minowabashi Station on the Arakawa Line, Joyful Minowa Shotengai is a traditional covered shopping arcade with a wide variety of discount food and shopping options.
Shops in the arcade include super cheap supermarket Gyomu Super, and 100yen Shop Can-do.
There are also a large number of small, locally owned businesses in the arcade including a sword shop, a hanko shop and small izakaya.
Suggested Activity
Get Tickets To the Samurai Restaurant in Shinjuku (Up to 30% Off)
Experience one of the craziest, most colorful places in Tokyo — the all-new Samurai Restaurant, from the creators of the Robot Restaurant. Get your tickets and sit back for a wild show of lasers, lights, samurai, dancers and other uniquely Japanese weirdness.
There aren’t many chain stores so after hours and on holidays, the arcade is very quiet! Also, despite the name, the entire arcade is actually located in Minami-Senju.
