Takegawara Koji Arcade

Nothing to do here

I passed by there during the middle of the day on my way from Beppu Station to Kitahama bus stop and there was practically no activity.

No English detail.

Nice statue in middle of arcade but no detail in English but they also provide information in Japanese language.

Japan's oldest wooden arcade street

Original Text

The oldest wooden arcade in Japan. It had a very deep atmosphere. This is a spot that you definitely want to visit at night and drink rather than during the day. If you just look at it, the distance is short, so you can pass through it in no time. I personally think it's worth just looking at it, leaving the good old Showa scenery to the present.

Showa back street

Original Text

A narrow and short arcade connecting Takegawara Onsen in Beppu and Nagakawa-dori. It's dim and a little uncomfortable. It feels like a back street in the Showa era. Many shops were closed.

Enjoy the local

Original Text

Taking advantage of the old buildings, you can enjoy watching and enjoying the uniqueness of each shop. You can also enjoy the local atmosphere.
