Take a stroll through the streets of Motomachi, a neighborhood displaying a strong Western influence in its cuisine and stores. Centering around a five-block-long shopping street, the neighborhood started to develop its cosmopolitan style during the Meiji era, when the number of foreign residents drastically increased. Shops and businesses opened to cater to the tastes of those arriving from across Europe, including German bakeries, French chocolatiers, and European-style tailors that still operate to this day. Take a look at the sweet treats and clothes on offer and choose something to take away with you.

日本人好鍾意去旅行, 我都係一樣。尤其是函館,完全充滿咗歐陸風情, 元町就係一個地方,個度有好多比較多歐式教堂及建築物, 尤其是喺夜晚,喑喑的燈光,照著街道,真係好似去咗外國咁! more »
The Japanese are so good at traveling that I'm all the same. In particular, the letter, completely filled with the feelings, Yuanyu on a place, the degree of a lot more than many churches and buildings, especially at night, the light, the streets, really like going to a foreign country!View original
