Ueda

This affordable snack shop is near a shopping street within walking distance of JR Bitchu-Takahashi Station on the Hakubi Line. It has been in business for over 50 years, and is marked by the sun-blocking eaves and noren curtain outside the shop. Inside you'll find an old fashioned atmosphere with traditional Japanese kid's favorites lining the showcase. They sell the treats by weight, and the clerk calculates everything on a soroban abacus for a bit of a rare treat. Locals and tourists alike love to drop by. There is a huge variety of treats like karinto deep-fried sweet snack, imokenpi sweet potato sticks, and beanlike rice treats, so take your time choosing!
