The flea market comes of age in Japan

Days, weeks and probably - if I added the time up - months of my young life in England were spent trawling around second-hand and antique markets with my parents. Now, it seems, here in Japan the equivalent ‘flea market’ has shifted from something students and young people frequent and entered the mainstream. Read more

Finding information in English about Japanese shops

One of the things that has always struck me is the difficulty of finding English language info about shops and services in Tokyo and across Japan.  We have shops we like and we will be writing about them here to make it easier for you foreign residents and tourists to find something they might be looking for. Or, to steer them at interesting things we have found.

But, if you have a shop or you sell a service and you want to reach out to people in English, why not contact us? We will come and take photos and make an article about your shop, your product or your service. It will cost you something of course, like any advert. But our article will be richer than any banner advert; there will be a photo, informative text, contact information and links to your homepage if you have one.

If you don’t have a homepage, why not have one with Japanorama.co.uk? Your advert can be your homepage. For a little extra cost we can design it to look exactly like your business.

Drop us a line using our contact form for more details.

Thanks.
