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.

Be sure to look for a "Koban" - a friendly and helpful police station that will take you to
where you wish to head.

  7. A 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.

    Or Japan in America?
