About
Solpaseo Ginza runs north to south through central Beppu, a covered arcade with old-school shopfronts, hand-lettered signs and a mix of local cafes and shuttered stores. Shoot down its length for strong perspective lines and retro texture, especially when the afternoon light comes in from the cross streets. It ties together the Yayoi Tengu arcade and the Takegawara area.
