The genuine mood of Showa Era lives on in Harmonica Yokocho, a cluster of more than 100 shops lined up side by side in front of the Kichijoji Railroad Station North Exit. Locals come to this by-street alley to see the face of morning in Kichjijoji.
The Harmonica Yokocho Morning Market at Kichijoji first opened for business in this alley in June 2011. Locals today know it as the face of Sunday morning.
The shops and customers have rapidly grown in number year by year.

Sweets, handmade small products, vegetables, sundry goods, meals, reconstruction support, cafés, etc., are presented.

Steaming Ishinomaki fried noodles, the trademark meal of the morning market from its very first days. (The taste of religious austerity foods!)

Step into the narrow lane crowded with eaves, a scene from Showa Era Japan. Rub shoulders with jabbering locals and shopkeepers. Think of this step back in time as a journey through the 4th dimension. The feeling is magic.

Be sure to drop by on a Sunday morning. But remember, this isn’t a place for late risers. Get up early and GO!
