thanks to wikipedia...
things you'd see around this area... cool fashion trends, unique architecture and more!
this one looks like it came from a music album. cool art!
around this area is the usual get up of the guys.
is this a cool ensemble or what?!
This pretty in pink store seems mediocre to someone who's not familiar about Cosplay
but it is most certainly famous for its "Lolita" outfits.
Stepping inside the store is like being in the set of Alice in Wonderland.
except for the word Americamura, everything's just American inspired.
and if ever you get lost...
Be sure to look for a "Koban" - a friendly and helpful police station that will take you to
where you wish to head.
and look at this cute girl... ^0^ oops! I think she caught me.
Grrr said the Gorilla.. I think it's a pet store.
Octopussy galore!
It was around 2pm already and our stomach's making these weird sounds,
we opted to have lunch at Sukiya, it's fast, cheap and tasty.
While ordering, I got lost in translation, my japanese was so bad that the waitress and
I have to do the hand gesture thing, but finally, we did have the yummiest lunch ever! ^0^
now this store, it sells anything and everything and i mean literally.
foodie...
toy camera...
cute musical rabbit toy...
except for the prices which is a bit steep, i'm sure you'd find something that's right for you.

ReplyDeleteOr maybe not...
Really enjoying this virtual tour of Americamura. Am following your steps.Looking forward for more.
ReplyDeleteI've been there once but I think I'm learning more from your photos! lol. I kind of reminds me of a smaller Harajuku ;-D
ReplyDeleteA very special "culture"! The Japanese seem somehow very conservative, but at the same time very creative, in a special way. I have seen a few Japanese "lolitas" in Paris, but the French seem not yet to have adaopted the fashion.
ReplyDeleteSo is it really America in Japan?
ReplyDeleteOr Japan in America?
LOL... Still it's very Japan in Japan to me!
