Akabane Ichibangai and OK Yokochō 赤羽一番街商店街・OK横丁
Ichibangai (400 m, 100 bars) and OK Yokochō (100 m, 30), born from the black market, 1954.
The two streets were born together after the war: the trade that had formed around the Akabane black market became a shopkeepers' association in 1954. The Ichibangai is today the main street you take straight out of the station; the OK Yokochō, whose name comes, according to some sources, from ‘everything OK to drink and eat’, is the narrower side alley, older in atmosphere. For its intact ‘Shōwa-era’ air, the OK Yokochō has been chosen several times as a set for films and music videos.
