If you're a shopaholic who's low on cash, you may want to visit the Isezaki Mall Shopping Street. Accessible via the Kannai station, it's a long strip of family-operated shops and the Matsuzakaya Department Store. Be careful when wandering at night though, this place can be quite dangerous after dark.
