History of Ebaramachi Shopping Street

The history of Ebaramachi Shopping Street dates back to Japan’s post-war reconstruction period. Local merchants worked together to gather small shops, gradually forming the shopping street as it is today. During the Showa era’s period of rapid economic growth, the street bustled with shoppers, but it faced challenges during the bubble burst and the rise of large retail chains. Nevertheless, thanks to the efforts of young business owners and local volunteers—through events and social media promotion—the street has regained its vibrancy and continues to thrive.
