Initially, Japanese merchants operated retail stores here. Mainly sell North Korean products. Later, because of World War II, Japanese businessmen had to leave for refuge. They then sold the shops cheaply or rented them to North Koreans. ⋯⋯⋯⋯ After a period of depression (about ten years) After 1955, this shopping street began to recover. In 1993, a Korean-style archway was erected and a stone slab road was paved.
