Taishogun Shopping Street
Legend has it that, once upon a time, 100 yokai (supernatural beings) paraded through the Taishogun shopping street. To commemorate the tale, crowds of enthusiasts flood the street in their elaborate yokai disguises to interact with their fellow supernaturals. For those longing for more ghosts and monsters, spooky trinkets are on sale at the flea market on adjacent streets.
