See all shopping in Matsumoto
Nawate-dōri
Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, JapanAbout
Nawate-dōri (なわて通り) is an old-fashioned shopping street running along the north bank of the river, full of small shops selling antiques, foods, used books, etc. The old movie theater shut its doors after its run of "The Last Samurai", but the posters are still up as well as the nostalgic building itself. The street's ubiquitous mascot is a frog, orginating from frogs in the river as well as a pun on the Japanese word for "return" 'kaeru' (the mountains could be treacherous, frogs were given as a charm so that loved ones would return safely. It was also hoped that money and goods would also return.And there has special tickets on site.This ticket is going to 50% offprice. We are calling this site "Hangaku Nagano"(http://hangakujapan.com/nagano/))
