The life surrounding a long-closed Tokyo liquor store

I’ve posted photos of this lovely, long-closed liquor store before, but its signage and no longer functioning vending machines mean it’s impossible not to take pictures every time I see it. And this particular time worked out better than most, as in the space of a few minutes, an interesting mix of people passed by, adding a bit of life to a place that shut up shop many moons ago.

      Yes, I couldn’t agree more. Something very special about them for sure.

    Such a great location. The mission orange bottle ad is marvelous. The wide range of people comprising the footfall while you were shooting really give life to the old place.

      Thanks a lot. Surprising how many people passed by in such a short space of time. And yes, it really is a great little spot with some truly lovely details.
