Whenever I go to ride the Wakasa Railway, I always stop by this shop. Local children come with coins in hand. It was so beautiful that I thought it was such a wonderful sight these days. Of course, this is a store where adults can also enjoy shopping. Before the coronavirus, I was able to put it in there, but since the coronavirus hit, I can only put candy in there, which is a shame. The street is very lively during festivals.

The building is said to be from the Meiji era. There are many Showakan throughout the country. There were many tin toys on display here. I'm glad. Of course, there are also electrical appliances and signboards. I bought some sweets at the candy store on the first floor. it was fun.

The first floor is a shop filled with nostalgic candy. The back of the first floor and the second floor are exhibition spaces, and as soon as you step inside, you can be transported back in time to a nostalgic space from the Showa era. The ``Nostalgic Atom Collection Exhibition'' currently being held is also fulfilling. (Admission fee 200 yen)

Well, you can experience "The Showa" for yourself. This is a parade of nostalgia! Everyone, please come and visit us once if you like. The lady at the store? You can also hear fun stories about her (who is like an older sister to me).

The first floor is a nostalgic candy store, and if you pay 200 yen you can enter the toy museum. Nostalgic tin toys from the Showa era and a manga magazine in great condition, ``I Had This!'' ” or “I saw it at my grandma’s house a long time ago!” ' You can immerse yourself in nostalgia. Even if you're not a fanatic, I think you'll get excited if you're of the same generation.
