In addition to this L-shaped alley, the G4 BRICKS BLD was newly built on Brick Street in 2016. An alley was passed beside the new approach to Hodo Inari.

At the entrance of the new approach to the road, monkey art (by Yoshi Gen Watanabe) is beckoning to guide the alley.

In front of Hodo Inari Shrine, which entered this alley, there are two monkey statues sitting and waiting for worshipers.
