Japan : 江戸東京たてもの園: 東ゾーン

En français
The 東ゾーン of the architecture park was the most interesting part for me (西ゾーン and センターゾーン). It contains a complete street. We first saw a traditional police box, then a city model train, before entering 下町-中 Shitamachi-naka street. The street seems to belong to another time just because it actually does. There is a kitchenware store, the 植村邸 (house of Uemura), a stationary store and Flower shop 花一, a grocery store, an oil paper umbrella wholesale store showing the fabrication process of the paper umbrella (more on this later), an inn, a soy sauce shop and a traditional public bath house 子宝湯 with a bar and a tailor shop. The 子宝湯 was the model for the Miyazika animation 千と千尋の神隠し's bath palace.
