Not too many tourists in this area, so people might get truly relaxed

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The concert hall was pretty close to the main station and the station had a good amount of shopping and dining inside. I didn't spot the ramen places (they're apparently famous for it) and it was incredibly difficult to hail a cab on the street.
