Built in 1934 for Oshi Savings Bank, this structure features few windows to shield against Gyoda’s harsh winter winds. Yet, its scratch-tile facade, ornate eaves, and tall windows made it notably modern. It still serves as Musashino Bank today.

A standalone early Showa-era building in Kita-Ueno, Tokyo. Its horizontal-lined facade and classic wooden lattice doors showcase timeless craftsmanship. Standing amidst modern updates, it offers a striking contrast that speaks to the city’s evolution.

昨日は鳥活のつもりが、どっちかというとレトロ建築寄りのプチツーになってしまった(笑)
それはそれで楽しかったのでヨシ！

​A photo studio built in 1930. The building has a great atmosphere with stylish modern windows. It no longer seems to be in business, but old photos of Ome were displayed in the window.

​I don’t know when this pharmacy was founded, but vintage signs like "Navel Cap" (a vitamin E supplement launched in 1965) and "Lipovitan" (launched in 1962, inspiring Red Bull) give off strong retro Showa vibes. What a cool piece of history!

This 1970s tonkatsu eatery was renovated into a guesthouse. Its tiled walls reflect a common design for mixed-use buildings of that era. The sliding front door has an older feel, suggesting it was added during the renovation.

This building was once home to "Kitchen Maro," a local Western-style diner that closed in 2023. By the time I stopped by, the awning and sign were gone, replaced by a demolition notice—just standing quietly, waiting to be torn down.
