There is a "road" that you want to peep and walk.
Yokohama Deep Culture Street
To the place I've always wanted to go after hearing rumors.
"Yokohama is interesting!" There should be such a discovery here.
LET'S GO Motomachi Nakadori!!
1 minute walk from Motomachi-Chukagai Station (Motomachi Exit) on the Minatomirai Line. A 4-minute walk from JR Ishikawacho Station (Motomachi Exit)!
The so-called Craftsmanship Street is lined with shops that specialize in unique craftsmanship. Walk along "Motomachi Nakadori", which is one street away from Motomachi Shopping Street.
If you're walking along Motomachi Nakadori, this is the place to stop by! A bakery representative of Motomachi that has been in business for 130 years since its founding in 1889. It seems that many people come from afar to eat the bread here. Customers keep coming in from early in the morning! The most popular item is the fluffy bread "England (¥360)" made using traditional techniques.

I found a stylish kimono specialty store that opened in October 2017! In addition to selling kimonos, they also offer dressing classes and maintenance consultations.
“We also have modern kimonos that are unique to Motomachi, such as denim (above photo),” says Hirasawa. It seems that there will be seasonal series, so please take a look.

When I went up the stairs next to it, I found wonderful works by contemporary artists lined up in a stylish space with exposed concrete. It's nice to be able to come into contact with art casually.

Once again, I found a wonderful cafe!!
Inside the café counter, you'll find a wide array of trout fishing goods! Fishing rods, reels, lures, and fashion items such as outdoor pants, outerwear, and caps!
It opened at the end of last year to support people who enjoy outdoor life. If you look closely, you'll notice that the latte and tea mugs are also designed for outdoor use! The staff and other people who gather here naturally become close to each other, and it's the same as saying, "Let's go fishing or camping next weekend." Mr. Aizu, the shop manager, said that it would be an opportunity to share time.

You've walked about half way down Motomachi Naka-dori, and when you suddenly see a red torii gate, it's Motomachi Itsukushima Shrine. At the end of the stone steps is the shrine. You are watching over the people and Motomachi from this place.
Walking along Motomachi Naka-dori, this is the first impression I made when I decided to have lunch here♡
It has been operated as a rice shop since 1950, and changed to a cafe style nine years ago. You can enjoy a delicious rice ball set meal made with rice using a rice milling machine that is still active since the establishment. Comes with 3 small bowls handmade by the mother and miso soup.

"Memorial Art Gallery Cafe JEREMY'S" closed on September 29, 2019
The last place I would like to introduce is the shop that I went to because I was attracted by this signboard. The wife of jazz flutist Jeremy Steig (age 73), who has a world-famous fan, created this gallery and cafe for a limited time as a place for fans to connect with Jeremy. It seems that live performances specializing in jazz flute are held regularly. On the walls of the café, works by Jeremy, who is a jazz musician and has a deep knowledge of painting, are displayed.

I was a little nervous as I walked around Motomachi, a stylish city in Yokohama, thinking, "What if I was treated coolly?" But there's no need to worry! I was waiting for an encounter that warms my heart. Food, art, music, clothes... There are many shops and people who are particular about craftsmanship street. Alone, with friends, or with family... Take a stroll down Motomachi Nakadori. The unknown Yokohama must be here
