HoweverUtsunomiyaRelocation of the prefectural office to Utsunomiya-(I.e.National land axis line (JRUtsunomiya Line,Tohoku Shinkansen,National Route 4,New Route 4) Is a factor that causes the centrality of the commercial base to weaken, but in recent years land development has progressed mainly in the Ohira area.Cainz Mall Ohira,K's DenkiLarge scale such as Tochigi Ohira storeRoadside store OfShopping centerIs advancing. Perhaps because of its nature as a tourist city, the central city area maintains its function as a relatively commercial center, and many stores provide services not only for local residents but also for tourist visitors.
