Food and shops

Within 500 metres of the station, there are two places to eat and two convenience shops. That is a small number, so it helps to buy water and snacks before you set off on a longer walk. Many visitors find these streets calm, with less traffic than the main roads nearby.

Before you go

Dress modestly when you visit temples, and remove your shoes before entering any hall where people are praying. Keep a map open on your phone, as the streets around the station can be easy to mix up. Take your time, and enjoy a slower side of the city.
