Located between Tsuruhashi Station and Momodani Station on the JR Loop Line, this shopping street boasts approximately 150 stores, including Korean grocery stores selling kimchi, chijimi, and other items, restaurants, and traditional clothing stores, along a 300-meter stretch. Many of the stores are run by Korean residents in Japan, and Hangul is everywhere. This area is said to have the largest concentration of Korean residents in Japan. In recent years, locals have formed an NGO to provide kimchi-making experiences, introductory Hangul classes, and city tours for middle and high school students visiting from other regions on school trips. The name "Mikoto Street" is said to derive from the fact that around the 5th century, people from Baekje settled in this area. Emperor Nintoku, at the time, visited the area to inspect the situation and rested there. The site where the Miyukimori Shrine was built (a forest on the western edge of the current shopping street) is said to be the site.
