Located at the south end of Shimotori is Sunroad Shinshigai, a covered, 18m-wide arcade that stretches for a total of 235 meters. Established in 1903, Sunroad Shinshigai was the first downtown shopping area in Kumamoto, and was home to a number of restaurants, shops and even a movie theater. Even now, Sunroad Shinshigai is a popular place to have fun, with plenty of food, drinks, karaoke, pachinko, and movies all in one convenient location.
