Kashiwa Nibangai

"This shopping arcade, the only fully covered one in Chiba Prefecture, extends out from the east exit of JR Kashiwa Station. Under the catchphrase, ""the most interesting and exciting shopping arcade in Kashiwa,"" the arcade is lined with a variety of establishments, from nationwide stores to a supermarket and privately-owned shops. There are many leisure destinations, as well, including fun places to shop and a karaoke parlor, and on weekends and holidays the arcade bustles with young people and others. The arcade regularly holds parades, art exhibitions, and other events, and the entire arcade is filled with liveliness and energy."
