This sprawling wholesale market in the Chinatown district of Cholon occupies a distinctive early twentieth-century building arranged around a central courtyard, its yellow walls and pagoda-style clock tower giving it an unmistakable character. Built with the support of a Chinese business benefactor, it has long been a hub for traders dealing in dried goods, textiles, household items and produce. The dense, atmospheric lanes and historic architecture make it a compelling stop in the commercial heart of Cholon.
