AMEYA-YOKOCHO

YOKOCHO means "off-street"

But doesn't this street look like the main one? Almost the Times Square in NYC (kidding)



It's in UENO area, and I went to check out the exhibition hosted by the Tokyo University of Art. (I've recently been pretty much a exhibition visitor.)

The exhibition itself was really interesting, but, I loved the raucous Yokocho, too.



I saw one fish store showed the 13,000-yen-price tag (about $130) for the frozen tuna but yelling "It's only 1,000 yen!"

Funny.
