The area is very similar to the Aoyama district. The back streets are filled with old houses converted to fashion shops, a large number of this designers are graduates from harajuku (ura-hara), a step before the more expensive Aoyama.

The open cafes usually full on weekends, are recently seen a decrease on the number of customers, perhaps due to the number of foreigners that left the country after the eartquake.
