    A long life for the store too. Definitely seen better days!

      It has . It’s a wonderfully dilapidated place. One of the many home-cum-business of Tokyo’s older districts. A part of Japanese life that helped resurrect neighbourhoods after the war, but are now slowly disappearing.

    Is that actually a shop open for business? Looks like it closed down (or should have been closed down!) years ago!

      It really does look that way, but yes, it’s open for business. Although how much business it does I don’t know. Never seen any customers.
