Another Street Bicycle Photo!
Well I think that about wraps up the Tokyo Street Fashion Photos but here is one I took in Numazu this past weekend. Don't you wished guys dressed this chic in Vancouver? Ah, bikes in Japan. I have to tell you that I did have a bike when I arrived this weekend, however I left it at the train station for a few days because I was visiting Leah Bell in Fuji City. It's about a twenty minute train ride away. I figured it would be okay as people have left their bikes at the train station before. AIEEE! I went to pick it up the other night and it was gone! I think it was probably taken to the impound but there is a small chance that it was stolen. I haven't actually needed it that much because Leah doesn't have a bike and we mostly walk around Numazu. It is only a ten minute walk to work and I actually prefer to walk. Actually, I really want to get one of those collapsible bikes that you can put in a case. I will be able to bring it back to Canada with me when I return. My bike actually looked something like this!
This street is where the Cambridge Library Cafe is located. It is one of our favorite cafes to visit on weekends. It is full of antique wood and books that you can read while you eat a light lunch and have some tea. It's very relaxing and we write in our journals and postcards and dish about our weeks and relax in the warmth. We have been finding local cafes in Numazu by picking up fliers and cards (maishi) everywhere we go. Last weekend we searched cafes Numazu in google and just showed up at the different cafes, even though we couldn't read what they said! Turns out that Numazu is really artsy and there are a lot of cool cafes and restaurants to visit! This weekend we are going to visit Heinrich in his home city of Yokohama! I hope I will get a few street photos to show you the style there. Of course, being Japan, it will be FANTASTIC no doubt ;)

Bicycle theft in Japan is extremely rare (unless things have changed in the past few years). Check the impound.
i heard that tokyo is the safest place in the world. you could leave you purse alone for an hour and it would still be left there waiting for you..maybe they had a rule about bikes..thats too bad. you're so lucky tho i cant wait to go to japan!!
How lovely! I'm amazed at how depictions of Japan seem to be so consistently beautiful and inspiring, no matter where they come from. Beautiful!
That cafe looks like such a cozy place.

The streets are so amazingly clean!
I love the fact things are petite in Japan... makes everything so cute.
;)
I want one of those bikes too!!1
I love the sizes in Japan. Also all the bicycles. I actually knew several people who had their bike stolen...though it was more like borrowed by a stranger and abandoned a few subway stops over...people would just hunt around and eventually find theirs.
that teacup photo is so cute!
