We found a really cute little neighborhood/ suburb of Tokyo with a very charming pre-war, old timey feel. We were actually on a mission to find
a christmas tree at a garden center that we had found and called ahead of time, but once we got there all they had available were basically large
pine branches for like $60 a pop. We made the most of wandering around instead, and found some incredibly picturesque alleyways, some great street
food from some stands, and the cutest, tiniest, and most inventive bakery I have yet to encounter.

Another reminder why to always take the back and side streets.

  1. Wonderful photos! The last picture is especially incredible. Also, I love cities that incorporate plants everywhere (I'm a bit obsessed with plants).

  4. I love this photo set!! It makes me want to return to Japan immediately. I especially love the combination of pre-war houses and present-day vending machines. Plus that bread. GIMME!

  5. Loving the charm of the old neighborhoods in Tokyo, it is specially extraordinary when coming from the bustle of other city areas. Thanks for the discovery :)
