These shots were taken in a gorgeous little street in a suburb called Kagurazaka in Tokyo. This suburb is heavily influenced by a phenomenon Luci and I have decided to dub "Japan-France". It's where shops, restaurants and buildings are designed to look European in style, with a Marie-Antoinette, Rococo kind of feel (and also for some reason, Christmas-themed, as Japanese people seem to think it's always Christmas in Europe), but the style is also unmistakably Japanese at the same time. Anyway, this sloping shopping street was veeeery Japan-France. And very pretty (I love Japan-France!)
I've just spent a few days in Yokohama, and have now arrived in Osaka! Tomorrow I'm meeting up with Japan-based blogger Candy Kawaii Lover, which is very exciting, and we're both bringing our cameras with us so I'm sure I'll have some photos for you guys very soon!

Those European-style areas in Japan are usually very cute. I used to live in Japan before, now in Finland.

Your dress is so cute, I love cartoon strip printed clothes, I did have a skirt like it but completely lost it and have been looking for it for months! The elf in my house has definitely stolen it! :(
ReplyDeleteI hope you have fun meeting up with the Japanese bloggers!

Japan-France, what a combo. I love france and from the snapshots of japan you've shown I'm loving it too, so a mix between the two would just be the best. That is such a cute dress. DId you find any escargot miso soup? Frog leg sushi rolls? :D
ReplyDeleteHahahaha no but there have been some pretty good Japan-France fusions like a French style bakery that sells French toast with cream and maple syrup and ham (yup all on one).
DeleteMy next holiday is going to be to Japan -- it looks amazing, hope you're having fun, and those Docs :O
