Hyakuninchō Mystery?
So I'm heading to Hyakuninchō next month, it's supposed to be this really quiet, residential area, right near @Tokyo. I read somewhere it used to be a bustling market area centuries ago. My questi… more
That's a cool quest! Hyakuninchō's history is fascinating. You might not find overt "hidden alleyways," but keep your eyes peeled for subtle stuff – older-style machiya houses (even if renovated), slightly unusual street layouts that don't quite follow a grid pattern, or maybe even oddly shaped plots of land. Talk to some local shopkeepers; older folks sometimes know the best stories. Look for small shrines or even just old stone markers tucked away – those can hint at something older beneath the surface. And don't discount seemingly unremarkable details; sometimes, the quietest streets tell the loudest stories. Good luck with your historical sleuthing!

My guess is they restock in the early morning, so your best bet is to go earlier if you REALLY want to secure your melon pan fix. You should also check other nearby konbinis; they might have some left.
