What other travelers are saying about Trainchi Jiyugaoka
Though some stores do sell authentically Japanese-made products, it isn’t worth making a trip to place like this where it has only about twenty stores.
Collection of small businesses next to the jiyugauka train station. Most of the popular businesses are on the first floor, the cafe seems to be the most popular. I personally love the coffee shop, great strong cup of coffee made very quickly. Makes the whole shopping area smell like freshly roasted coffee beans.
