  english   When you travel to Japan, don’t you want to visit local places where you can catch a glimpse of local people’s lives, rather than just touristy areas where there are more tourists than local people? Japanese Shotengai is the perfect place for those people! Shotengai (商店街), which can be translated to “shopping street,” is a local neighborhood commercial district with stores run by local families, farms, and fishermen, among others. In these streets (often closed to car traffic), you can find a very diverse range of storefronts such as greengrocers, fishmongers, drugstores, and cafes. What’s best about these streets is that you can interact with the local people. Here is a list of the top 30 Shotengai based on the number of stores. Why don’t you go to one of these Shotengai and immerse yourself in Japanese local culture?   繁体字     各位去日本旅行時，有沒有想過避開許多觀光客會到訪的熱門景點，而選擇去一些地方景點，體驗當地的文化並認識當地人的生活方式？如果有這樣的想法，日本地方商店街是您最好的選擇。 商店街也可譯為“shopping street”，是當地住宅區的商業區域，這些商店由當地居民、農家、漁民等所經營。在商店街裡（通常禁止汽車通行＝行人専用道路），您可以找到如蔬果店、魚店、藥局、和咖啡館等各種各樣的商店。 以下我們列出了日本各地擁有最多店舖的30條商店街名單。不妨嘗試到訪這些商店街，體驗與當地人的互動並沉浸在日本當地文化中。   Tohoku・Hokkaido  ・Sendaishi Chushimbu Shotengai (Miyagi)・Higashikawa Shokokai (Hokkaido)・Sapporo Tanukikoji Shotengai (Hokkaido) Kanto  ・Hashimoto Shotengai (Kanagawa)・Nakano Broadway (Tokyo)・Koenji Junjo Shotengai (Tokyo)・Bremen Street (Kanagawa)　・Kinugasa Shotengai (Kanagawa) Chubu ・Osu Shotengai (Aich) ・ The Kanazawa Town (Ishikawa)　・Shizuoka Meiten Gain (Shizuoka)　・Inamach (Nagano)　 Kansai ・Mochiido Center Town (Nara)　・Kobe Motomachi Shopping Street (Hyogo)　・ Komagawa Shopping Street (Osaka)　・Yanagase Shotengairead moreTOP 30 Shotengai (shopping street) in Japan 最多店舖的30條商店街名單
