Among shopping areas those with arcades were perfect locations for rotensho, but in recent years these have tended to have been removed due to their image such as having a dark atmosphere and being old-fashioned, as well as with their high maintenance costs, and these conditions are among the causes of the decline in rotensho.
駅前や商店街などであり、商店街においてはアーケードを持つ商店街は露天商にとってうってつけの場所であったが、近年では薄暗い雰囲気や古臭いと言ったイメージ、メンテナンス費用の負担などから撤去される傾向がありこの様な事情も露天商の衰退の要因であろう。
