The iconic Ameya Yokocho shopping street in Tokyo, which used to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors during the year-end, is undergoing major transformations with a drastic decrease in traditional fish shops and a rise in international restaurants. With 70% of the restaurants now operated by foreigners, including many Chinese establishments, the street has become a diverse culinary hub attracting tourists seeking authentic cuisines. The shift from fish shops to international eateries has been attributed to factors like lack of successors and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
