The Tsuruhashi Shopping Street, well-known to all Japanese, is where tourists seek famous barbecue and kimchi. It turns out this place has many Korean shop owners selling Korean food. But its greatest charm is preserving the Japanese atmosphere from shortly after the war, like a museum.
This episode of "Deepest Japan" is part of the Urban Tales series, introducing you to the maze-like Tsuruhashi, full of early Showa era charm. This place actually has a close connection to Jeju Island.
