The Ikenocho Municipal Market of Takada Cho was established around the same time as the Bareiike Pond renovation in 1927. At that time, there were around 20 stores in the market．

戦後、公設市場の周辺にも店ができ、下の写真のような高田の台所といわれるような商店街となりました。
食べ物、日用品を扱う店が多く、毎日たくさんの人が買い物に訪れていました。このころは、紡績工場で働いている人たちや、近くの町や村から、バスや汽車に乗って来る人たちで大変にぎわっていました。
After the war, more stores also started to open around the municipal market as shown in the below photo. It eventually became a shopping street often referred to as the “kitchen of Takada.”
The shopping street had many stores selling food and daily necessities, which attracted many visitors every day. In those days, the shopping street was filled with various visitors such as spinning mill workers and people from nearby towns and villages visiting by bus and train．

The houses on the left side of the above photo (the present-day park) were built to appear as if they are jutting out from the pond similar to Yoshino-Date (architectural style unique to Yoshino area).
