Yamaguchi City Central Shōtengai (山口市中心商店街) 山口市中心商店街
Seven covered streets over 700 metres and more than 250 shops: only 10% are vacant, bucking the decline of Japanese shōtengai.
A network of shopping arcades in the heart of Yamaguchi city. Three major festivals mark the year along the arcade: the Gion Matsuri (20–27 July), the lantern Tanabata (6–7 August) and the Tenjin Matsuri (23 November); added to these are more recent events such as a Halloween parade and a Spanish-themed festival linked to the passage of Francis Xavier.
