Tanukikoji Shopping Street
狸小路商店街
One of Hokkaido's oldest shopping streets, a roofed arcade about 900 meters long with around 200 shops selling drugstore goods, souvenirs and food.
Tanukikoji Shopping Street lies between Odori and Susukino. It runs east to west across seven blocks for about 900 meters and dates back to the early Meiji era, making it one of Hokkaido's oldest shopping streets. A roof covers the entire length, sheltering shoppers from wind and snow. About 200 shops line the street, including drugstores, Don Quijote, souvenir shops, clothing stores, soup curry restaurants and izakaya pubs, making it the most concentrated shopping area for tourists. The street is open at all hours, and most shops are open about 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Getting there: about 3 minutes' walk from Odori or Susukino Station on the subway. It connects to the underground arcade Pole Town.
