Nakano city is located in the western part of Tokyo's 23 wards. It is especially famous for Nakano Broadway, known as the "holy land" of subculture, but it also has many other tourist attractions such as historic shrines and temples and gourmet food. While the area around Nakano Station is undergoing a "once in a century" redevelopment, the town is undergoing change, and the town is bustling with old-fashioned, friendly shopping streets, making Nakano a very diverse city. This diversity is also what makes it a city with a population of about 17,000 people from about 120 countries.
Daily Chico is famous for its Hachidan soft serve ice cream
Hello. I'm Kohei Kubo, a photographer and Nakano Tourism Reporter. In this article titled "Travel Camera," I would like to introduce shops while enjoying "cameras" at "travel destinations." This time, I will introduce the third shop you'll want to stop by on a walk around Nakano Station, [Daily Chico].
A stroll, a quick detour
The area around Nakano Station isn't full of big shops. There are plenty of great places you'll want to stop by on your walk. We'll be taking a look around with model Nonon and taking photos to introduce the area.
This store opened at the same time as the Nakano Broadway shopping arcade opened.
Nakano Broadway Shopping Arcade tickles your sense of adventure. When you go down to the basement, you will find many old-fashioned shops, making you feel as if you have traveled back in time. Among them is Daily Chico, a famous shop that has been featured in many media outlets.
Their specialty is the "Extra Large Ice Cream." Many people are surprised just by looking at the sample on the counter. It's so popular that some people come from far away just to eat it. The ice cream comes in three sizes: small, medium, and extra large, and there are eight flavors to choose from. For the small and medium sizes, you can choose between a cup or a cone, so you can enjoy it the way you like.
It's just huge!
The extra large size is big, with all 8 flavors arranged in layers. It's fun just to look at the colorful appearance, but each flavor is delicious. You can of course enjoy the small size, but because it's the extra large size with all the flavors, you can mix them together and enjoy them even more. It also looks great in photos!
In the summer, the shop is packed with people and it's a fierce battle to eat it all before it melts.
"On busy days, we have over 1,000 customers, from small children to the elderly. Recently, we've seen an increase in foreign visitors customers," said the shop assistant. She says she's studying English so she can communicate with foreigners. You can really feel the hospitality here.
Hiroyuki Ariyoshi and KinKi Kids have been here for TV program shoots. It's no exaggeration to say that this is the spot for Nakano!
Actually, udon is delicious too.
Next to the ice cream section is a stand-up counter. You can eat cheap, chewy udon and soba noodles. I tried to cover the food this time, but unfortunately it was already closed. Apparently a line forms as soon as the store opens, and the food sells out by lunchtime. I'd like to cover the food again another day.
This wonderful photo
