    At its peak in the 1970's, Osaka's Fuse Shopping Street had 780 shops, but then entered a long decline. A group of outsiders in their 20s have revitalized the district, attracting 10,000 tourists a year from 44 countries. Their method could serve as a model for other districts

      A lot of these shopping arcades are in decline, too many shop owners retiring without transferring their premises to younger generations with new business ideas. Hope this one is a success.

      Assuming, conservatively, that the shops are open just 5 days per week, 10,000 tourists per year would be just under 40 per day. Is that all the patronage it takes to “revitalize” the district?
