Closures
- On Sundays and public holidays roughly 70% of shops are shut and only about 30% trade, so treat Sunday as a closed day when planning.
Note
- Hours describe the shops, not the street: Kappabashi Dougu Street is a public road and is always walkable.
- There is no official street-wide closing day — every shop sets its own hours and rest days.
- Saturday is a normal trading day for most shops; only a minority of trade-oriented stores rest on Saturday instead.
- Public holidays behave exactly like Sundays.
- The shopping-street association publishes a list of the shops that do open on Sundays and holidays.
- Actual hours vary shop by shop, roughly 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the extremes; most close by 5:00 PM, so arrive before 4:00 PM.
- Most shops close individually for the New Year, roughly 30 December to 4 January.
- The Kappabashi Dougu Matsuri in October is a full pedestrian-street event.
