Atom Shopping Street
The Atom Shopping Street is actually called Takadanobaba West shopping Street.
It is located near Takanobaba Station of JR Yamanote Line. It is nick-named

most famous character of mangaka Tezuka Osamu, was born on 20030407 in Takadanobaba.
JR Takadanobaba Station even used Atom's song as the station jingle. The lamp-posts
of the shopping street have the illustrations of Tezuka's characters on them.
