Akashi faces the sea and is famous for its sea bream and octopus. The Uonotana shopping street, where shops selling locally caught seafood, processed fish products, and Akashi-yaki (a local egg-based dumpling) are lined up, is also well-known. Locals call it "Uonotana." This shopping street stretches east to west, and you can enter from the Route 2 side on the north. There are benches set up there for you. You'll find them on the second floor of the Papios Akashi building in front of the station, next to the elevator of the elevated bridge that crosses Route 2.
