Shutting up shop in rural Japan

The shop below was photographed not that far from the Japanese capital, but it’s absolutely worlds away from the fancy department stores and cool boutiques the country is better known for.

    I agree that sure is different. Even the vending machine looks totally uncared for! 😮

      It does a bit, doesn’t it? Definitely not going to get any cigarettes out of that thing anymore…

    You know you’ve been reading too much Harry Potter when that photograph looks like a wizard about to point his wand at you and shout “Expelliarmus!” in order to relieve you of your camera 🙂

    I love the faded blues of his attire – they complement the hues of the lower storey perfectly.

      Haha, it really does look like that. Hard to see anything else now!

      But yeah, those faded blues are lovely. All very nicely colour coordinated.

      Didn’t get the chance, although not sure there’d have been anything to buy even if we’d wanted to.
