Central Street is a location in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Strikers. It serves as a hub for many different shops and activities that the Protagonist can buy from and participate in.

Stores
Untouchable
This shop is somewhat secluded, located down an east alley off the main street and around a bend, right next to the Velvet Room. It is a model gun shop run by Munehisa Iwai, the Hanged Man Confidant in Persona 5. In this shop the Protagonist can buy Guns, Melee Weapons, Protectors, and Accessories for his party, sell his items, or upgrade his guns. Almost every gun in the game (besides each character's starter weapons) can be bought in this shop, and it is the primary way to obtain new guns to keep up with the game's scaling.

Other Locations
Movie Theater
Located at the north of the main street, accessible once you complete the Kamoshida's Palace, the movie theater allows the protagonist to watch movies for ¥1,500 each. Watching movies at the theater grants points to your social stats, depending on the movie. Watching a new movie will give +3 points, but watching it a second time will reduce it to only +2 points. On certain dates, one of your confidants will invite you to watch a movie with them, which will level up your social link with them. You cannot watch the same movie more than twice, unless invited by a confidant after having watched that movie twice.

Trivia
- The Central Street, Shibuya location in Persona 5 is based on the real life area of Center Gai in Udagawachō, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
- Just like how Central Street and Station Square are very close to each other in Persona 5, the real world Shibuya Station is very nearby Center Gai
- Station Square is, in fact, based on Hachiko Square, a region outside Shabuya Station, which bleeds well into Center Gai. This area was named after Hachikō, a dog who waited for his owner for nearly 10 years after he had died. Hachikō was immortilized through a bronze statue in front of Shibuya Station, and became a cultural icon. Eventually, the station exit nearest to the statue, as well as the region around it, got named after him.
- There is a book in Persona 5 Called Buchiko's Story, which is directly based on Hachikō. You can buy it from the Taihaido Bookstore, and reading it will raise your Kindness stat.
