About the Ohtori Shrine Shopping Street

In April 2023, the Sugamo Ohtori Shrine Shopping Street was established through the collaboration of the longstanding Sugamo Ichimon and Ohtori shopping associations. This revitalization aims to modernize the area while maintaining its rich history, focusing on engaging the younger generation through innovative interactions, like those provided by AI and Momomo-chan. This initiative was made possible by participating in the 2023 Tokyo Future Community Support Program, a three-year project that reimagines shopping streets.

In closing, the Sugamo Ohtori Shrine Shopping Street is not just a shopping destination. It's a community hub where technology meets tradition, resulting in a vibrant atmosphere that welcomes everyone. Explore, engage, and enrich your shopping experience with Momomo-chan!
