Shopping around Akasaka-mitsuke

Akasaka-mitsuke offers a typical central-city shopping environment rather than a suburban-style mall district. Station-related retail, street-front shops, convenience stores, pharmacies and restaurants are concentrated around Akasaka 3-chome and along Hitotsugi-dori and nearby streets. Tokyo Metro also lists retail and food outlets within the station. The area is convenient for daily necessities and purchases during the workday, although households that depend on large supermarkets or bulk grocery shopping should check the actual walking distance from a prospective home. Commercial facilities toward Nagatacho and additional shops toward Akasaka Station broaden the selection. Because businesses in central commercial districts can change relatively frequently, current opening hours and operating status should be confirmed with individual stores before making a special trip.
