This place is so cool. Not only does it have a multitude of different shops, it also has a canal running through it as well as a water-fountain show similar to the Bellagio on the Vegas Strip! I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.
Canal City is huge. 234,460 meters squared of shops, restaurants, a theatre, a Taito Station video game arcade, a cinema, two hotels, and an indoor canal running through the middle. The nickname for Canal City is, ‘the city within the city’, and it certainly lives up to its name.
There is also a water jet show. The water sprays up into the air from the fountain below. There is a mat of synthetic grass where children can get absolutely soaked as they dodge the water as it falls toward them. A woman stands with a huge water pistol, shooting the children; a grin on her face.
So many shops, so much to do. Get lost in Canal City and have a great time in the process.
