Ube's main train station, JR Ube-Shinkawa Station is near shopping arcades and outdoor sculptures. Good to rent a bicycle and explore this small city, especially if you like art.

This is Ube Chuo Gintengai shopping arcade near Ube-Shinkawa Station. It used to be the city's main shopping place until large shopping malls were built in the suburbs in the 1980s and 1990s.

Very quiet in the Ube Chuo Gintengai shopping arcade.

There were a few large supermarkets here, but they closed.

This open part of the arcade must have been the site of one of the large supermarkets that closed.
