Hello everyone, this is Taka-sim. This time I took a walk around the downtown area of Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture. To the north of Kiryu Station on the JR Ryomo Line is Nishi-Kiryu Station on the Jomo Electric Railway. The surrounding area was a calm townscape with many schools. If you go east from there to Honmachi Street, you will see a landscape of buildings, but the buildings are a little old. The shopping street in front of the station also has many old, private restaurants, but there are also KFC, Denny's, Mega Don Quijote, and other new stores, which made for an interesting contrast. To the south of the station, along the Kiryu Isesaki Line, there is the large commercial facility Market City Kiryu, and there are major stores such as GU and Hama Sushi, but if you head towards Shin-Kiryu Station on the Tobu Kiryu Line, you will find an old-fashioned townscape.
