Point
- Only cash is accepted in many establishments in Iroha Yokocho. Since credit cards and electronic payments are often not accepted, it is advisable to have enough cash on hand. Iroha Yokocho has many small establishments, so it becomes particularly crowded at night and on weekends. If a place is full, we recommend waiting for a while or trying another establishment. Additionally, English may not be spoken in many of the establishments, so we recommend joining a guided tour for foreign visitors.
