Condom vending machines first appeared in Japan in Osaka in 1969 and continued to spread until the early 1990s. Nowadays, they are becoming a rare sight, mostly because people can easily buy them at 24-hour convenience stores.

Hongo chuo Church was founded in 1890 by Charles Eby. Rebuilt in 1929 after the Great Kanto Earthquake, this Gothic-style structure houses a kindergarten on the lower levels and a chapel above. A prominent tower crowns its northeast corner.

An aging building tucked between newer structures in a quiet Tokyo backstreet. Rust, concrete, and a few potted plants tell stories that glass towers never could.

Opened in 1874 at Manpuku-ji Temple, this elementary school moved to its current site in 1934. Although closed in 1975, this beautiful wooden building from that era remains well-maintained and is still used for various community events today.

たまごサンドも美味しかったけど、値段にびっくり。
あと、シャインマスカットのズコット。
2,200円の価格、更にびっくり。
（果実園リーベルが作ってるようです。）

カフェやホテルが提供しているオリジナルブレンドのコーヒーとか紅茶ってイマイチパッとしないのが多いですが、こちらのカフェオリジナルのティーは、ほのかにマスカットの香りがして、とても気に入りました。

AIに空いてる時間帯を聞いてから行って正解。空いてて快適でした。

Official seals have been used in Japan since the 7th century, but digitization is rapidly eroding their role. This old stamp shop feels like a quiet remnant of that long tradition, standing calmly in the night as the practice fades from everyday life.

The former bone‑setting clinic sits quietly on a corner, its shape recalling old Japanese Degeta‑Zukuri shop architecture. Surrounded by modern buildings, it feels like a small trace of the past, holding its place gently in the night.

This building once stood on Jimbocho’s Suzuran-dori. Facing the street, Hinoki Gallery was a modern structure adorned with Art Deco reliefs, while the building behind it exuded rich history. With its demolition complete, it truly feels like the end of an era.

In Awaji-cho since the late Meiji era, this historic dye shop survived into the 21st century. Nearby Konya-cho was once an Edo-Meiji dyeing hub that declined with synthetic fibers. Though now closed, this shop carried the local legacy for over a century.

A former fish shop in a shopping street of Fujimi City. Although the sign has faded over time, the name "Uokou" remains clearly visible etched into the mortar wall. It feels as though the memories of its bustling past are quietly preserved right here.

Near Shiinamachi Station lies a shopping street that flourished around 1955. Set slightly back from the road, this retro building richly retains its Showa-era charm. Judging by the closed shutters, it appears to no longer be in business.

This former gun shop is now closed. In Japan, gun ownership is strictly regulated, but licensed hunters and clay target shooters can buy rifles, shotguns, and air guns. With only about 13 shops currently operating in Tokyo, it was once a rare find.

Built in 1929 during post-Great Kanto Earthquake reconstruction, this 3-story wooden clinic/residence off Yasukuni-dori vividly preserves its history. It features intricate vintage details like corrugated eaves and diamond-shaped decorations.

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.
