狸小路是北海道最古老的商店街之一。狸小路商店街的起源據說是1896年時於現今的狸小路2丁目、3丁目開始有店家或飲食店在此聚集而來的。1960年時從狸小路的1丁目到7丁目設置了約900公尺的拱廊屋頂。除了飲食店等各式各樣的店家林立在狸小路之外，在5丁目有個小型的神社（狸貓神社）。據說摸了神社境內的狸貓像會開運。
Tanukikoji is one of
the oldest shopping streets in Hokkaido. It was established when some shops and
restaurants were opened on the site of the present Tanukikoji 2-chome and
3-chome in 1869 (‘chome’ means street block). In 1960, a long, covered arcade
was built between Tanukikoji 1-chome and 7-chome, which is approximately 900 meters
from end to end. There are a wide range of shops and restaurants now, and
interestingly there is a small shrine (Tanuki Jinja) located on Tanukikoji
5-chome. (Tanuki is the name of the Japanese raccoon dog, and Jinja means
shrine.) It is said that people will have good luck if they gently touch the
stone statue of Tanuki.
