The street does not specialize in Spanish merchandise or foods. But the bricks that line the streets and stairs, as well as some of the buildings, resemble Spanish and European-style architecture, and a few restaurants offer European foods. The mix of this with other trendy Japanese boutiques makes a very unique but fun and short walk up to Tokyo FM Studio and the Parco malls.
