Toyooka Kaban Street

カバンストリート

Hyogo · Kansai

Kaban Street is a shopping street in Chuomachi, central Toyooka, given over to the city's bag and luggage industry, the largest in Japan by output. Shops along it sell locally made bags, take custom orders and carry out repairs, and the street is fitted out with bag-themed benches, postboxes and a bag vending machine. Individual shops set their own hours, so the street has no single opening time.

Why we picked it

Japan's bag-making capital is one stop down the line from Kinosaki, and the craft street is a ten-minute walk from Toyooka Station.

Crowd level
Moderate
Admission
The street is free to walk; shops price their own goods and workshops.
