Just outside the west exit of JR Gotanda Station, you'll find Meguro River, famous for its rows of cherry blossom trees. Surrounding this area is Gotanda Shopping Street, home to around 50 eateries and 20 retail shops. The mix of trendy cafés and long-established stores—like a liquor shop from the Taisho era that has been renovated—creates a nostalgic yet lively atmosphere.
After World War II, this area flourished as a bustling district filled with retail shops and restaurants, even featuring a movie theater at one time. To support this vibrant commercial hub, the Gotanda Shopping Street Promotion Association was established in 1965, organizing various events in response to the changing times.
Today, the shopping street remains an essential part of local life, featuring a diverse range of establishments, including cafés, izakayas, ramen shops, pharmacies, and supermarkets. It’s a great place to experience an unfiltered slice of Japanese daily life while enjoying a leisurely stroll.
