Pick one café as an anchor
Check the current opening hours of the business you most want to visit, then explore around it. Small independent shops may open later or close on different weekdays. A leisurely afternoon works better than arriving with a tightly scheduled list.
Keep the neighbourhood comfortable
People live alongside the shops. Stay on public routes, keep entrances clear and ask before photographing inside businesses. The 2010 street photograph provides historical context; individual shops and façades may have changed. Continue toward Tenma for a different kind of shopping-street energy.
