The nearest station is Fushimi Station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway. The Fushimi Underground Shopping Street extends along the railway line from the ticket gate.[1] Fukuromachi-dori (長者町繊維街) at the northern part of the station was bustling with textile stores after the war.[2] Today, there are shops selling textiles, clothing, and miscellaneous goods, as well as interior shops and cafes.[3] The area around the station is a financial and office district.
