[2025 Bungotakada Attraction] Travel Guide for Showa-no-Machi (Updated May)

City streets are nice, but Showa-era streets are also a place where you can feel at ease, and I really like them😊There are several places around the country where old-fashioned streetscapes remain, but this time I'd like to introduce "Showa Town" in Bungotakada City, Oita Prefecture. As the name suggests, Showa-era towns remain there✨I deliberately went there at dusk when the streetlights were on🌇Many shops were closed, but that time of day was very atmospheric and I was able to enter a nostalgic space😌 [Introduction to Showa Town] Showa Town is a shopping street themed on the 1950s, and you can ride the bonnet bus that was in operation at the time for free and travel around the town🚍 *Each bus has a capacity of 25 people, first come first servedIf you go during the day, I also recommend eating your way around the shopping street! You can eat beef croquettes at "Kanaoka" in the second photo! There are other shops too! "Kineya" is a popular souvenir shop in Bungotakada. Their "peanut rice crackers" and "soba rice crackers" are popular here 🍘 There is also a large candy store, so you will want to buy a lot! How to enjoy Showa Town ◆Dress up in Showa fashion 👔 In Showa Town, you can actually rent Showa retro fashion! There is a place called "Showa Town Exhibition Hall (Showa Back Alley Maze)" where you can rent! I recommend it because you can go to other retro facilities and the city while wearing Showa fashion!

It's worth wearing! ️Business hours: Weekdays 10:00-16:00 Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 9:00-17:00 ◆Experience the Showa era at Showa Roman Kura 🕰️ This is the main facility, and you can enjoy the following three facilities!
