Tenjin-dori Shotengai

Combine shopping with a game of spot the goblin at Tenjin-dori Shotengai, where statues of manga mainstays live amongst the 50 stores lining the arcade. To begin, walk out of Chofu Station’s north exit and head towards Fuda Tenjin shrine into the Tenjin-dori shopping street. A sculpture of Kitaro (one of the main characters from the manga series ‘GeGeGe no Kitaro’) will greet you into the street – you can spot him at three other locations while shopping, while two of his friends are propped in seemingly random places. Once you’ve found them all you can reward yourself with a trip to Chofu Seifudo, where the unusual daifuku dessert flavours include lemon cheese and coffee.
