A lot of Tokyo’s older businesses are rapidly disappearing — the buildings invariably long past their natural lifespans, and the owners sadly reaching theirs. However, in a city on such a scale, there are fortunately still plenty left to see and enjoy, so these are some I photographed recently. A couple are old favourites, but more than a few are first time finds. All of them though are little pieces of the capital’s past that make the present all the more appealing.

The old car looking out in #2. So perfect! 🙂

I cannot read the kanji so I don’t know what some of the shops are selling. But these are great.
Love the vending machines, too. And the guy with the blue cap that matches the awning!

@Sean Cheers. I like that addition too. A lovely little extra.
@Richard Thank you. A real variety here. A couple long since closed too. And yeah, I agree, vending machines are always good.
