Because the street of Hirokouji is quite wide, it often develops into a bustling commercial avenue.
In Edo, there are seven well-known, most prosperous Hirokouji streets: Ryogoku Hirokouji, Kintai Bridge Imperial Gate Inner Hirokouji, Asakusa Imperial Gate Inner Hirokouji, Eternal Bridge East and West Hirokouji, Shinbashi West Side Hirokouji, Naka Bridge Hirokouji, and Yokkaichi Hirokouji.
In terms of bustling activity, Ryogoku Hirokouji is the most among these seven Hirokouji streets.
On both sides of the street, merchants line up one after another, including famous brand merchants known nationwide.
Numerous street performers on the roadside demonstrate their talents, performing various exciting shows for the passersby.
To draw an analogy... Ryogoku Hirokouji is Edo's Champs Elysees Avenue.
On such a bustling street, the merchants certainly store huge sums of money.
