Koiwa

I like my shitamachi. Shitamachi are old school areas of Japan, that still have some character and charm to them. Where people are more likely to greet strangers in the street, and where giant department stores have managed not to fully invade.

Ages ago, I checked out Koiwa. I was only there a short time, so I didn't get to see too many interesting things, but here's a taste of the area. Click on the photo for more pics.
