Hinodecho Walking Guide — Under-the-Tracks Art and Taiwanese Home Cooking Across 5 Spots

There are 5 walking spots around Hinodecho Station, ranging from a Taiwanese eatery to a gallery to a live music venue. Two of them are an art gallery and a book space born from an art project under the elevated railway tracks, both housed in the same "Hinode Studio" building complex. The food options are three distinct places within walking distance: a Taiwanese home-cooking restaurant, a bread-and-wine spot, and a venue where you can hear live music.

A natural order is to visit the two art spots first (gallery made in koganecho → Koganecho Art Book Bazaar), then eat at [SUND](/en/spot/e6006adc-bf55-4845-b183-13bd9972c08e) or [Daiichitei](/en/spot/606bf99a-c363-486c-b169-be11598f0527), and close the night with a show at [Chat Noir](/en/spot/c2ed74e6-dd3f-4d28-bd65-ee8774743ca9). Putting the exhibitions in the daytime and the food and music in the evening makes the day easy to build.

gallery made in koganecho

[gallery made in koganecho](/en/spot/f9c90bb5-0b81-4190-9a4a-a1fb8669bef2) is a gallery born from an art project under the elevated tracks. It exhibits and sells work by artists in residence. The address is Hinode Studio Building I, 2-145 Hinodecho, Naka-ku, Yokohama — a location literally beneath the railway that tells you how this neighborhood's art scene came to be. Since the work is for sale, you have the option of taking something home, not just looking.

Koganecho Art Book Bazaar

[Koganecho Art Book Bazaar](/en/spot/80b068c1-5b7c-4064-9d57-5a8b20af591c) is a book space dealing in art books. The selection is curated to match the current exhibition, so the shelves change character depending on when you visit. It sits in Hinode Studio Building III at 2-145 Hinodecho — a separate building within the same studio complex as the gallery in Building I. Stopping here after seeing the artwork lets you trace the connection to the exhibition.

Daiichitei

[Daiichitei](/en/spot/606bf99a-c363-486c-b169-be11598f0527) serves Taiwanese home cooking and offal dishes. The signature dish is "chito," pork stomach stir-fried with ginger, and the garlic-heavy thick-noodle dish "patan" is another standard. The address is 1-20 Hinodecho, Naka-ku, Yokohama. With two clearly defined signature dishes, first-timers won't agonize over the order.

SUND

[SUND](/en/spot/e6006adc-bf55-4845-b183-13bd9972c08e) opened in 2024 and is a place on the Hinodecho side where you can start with bread and wine. It also has a good range of beer and wine. The address is 1-2-10 Miyagawacho, Naka-ku, Yokohama, on the Hinodecho side of the station. It suits days when you want to begin with a light drink, or want to settle in somewhere before a proper meal.

Chat Noir

[Chat Noir](/en/spot/c2ed74e6-dd3f-4d28-bd65-ee8774743ca9) is Hinodecho's live music spot. It is on the first floor of Imperial Yokohama Parkside at 1-76-1 Hinodecho, Naka-ku, Yokohama. Live schedules are posted on Instagram, so check the lineup before you plan your walk. It's in the same Hinodecho 1-chome block as Daiichitei, making it easy to head over after dinner.

The trick to this walk is to pick your date from Chat Noir's live schedule and work backward. Build the day around that show — two galleries in the afternoon, dinner at Daiichitei or SUND — and art, food, and music all fit into a single outing.
