Why You Should Visit
A machi-bar crawl through the stretch running from the west exit of Hankyu Oji-koen Station down into the Suidosuji shopping street. It began from a simple idea — get people into the shops they have never tried — and sends you hopping between venues in an old-town area where markets and arcades run side by side. SSS stands for a local in-joke: "Suidosuji is supposedly amazing, who knows." In 2026 it expands to two days, 23 and 24 October, with 80 participating venues. The previous edition ran on a bingo format built around shops from the Showa, Heisei and Reiwa eras; this year's format is due to be announced shortly.
