Inspired by the enigmatic history of Kowloon Walled City, we've reimagined this iconic enclave as it could appear in 2049. Although the original site was demolished, its spirit endures; captivating imaginations with tales of cramped living conditions, vibrant neon signboards, and labyrinthine alleyways that housed diverse, unconventional lives.

Amidst the bustling scene, a single cherry blossom—either in soft pink or pure white—stood out, creating a calm, almost poetic moment in the midst of the vibrant chaos. The hanging lanterns swayed gently, and beer crates and vending machines added to the nostalgic, old-world vibe of the alley. It was this raw, authentic Tokyo experience that we wanted to capture and share in our Omoide Yokocho DIY Book Nook.

This is not just a scene; it’s a feeling—an invitation to step into a lively moment, relishing the warmth of a bustling alley under the Tokyo skyline.

If you've ever strolled through Kyoto’s Gion district, perhaps down the Hōkan-ji walkway, you know the magic of this place. For us, it was an early spring morning, just as dawn painted the quiet streets with soft, golden light. We wandered, entirely alone, our footsteps the only sound as we took in the untouched beauty of the empty alley. There was a fresh chill in the air, tinged with the earthy scent of morning dew and a hint of cherry blossoms, their fragrance lingering like a sweet whisper.

Imagine capturing the essence of JiuFen Old Street right in your living room. Inspired by a real adventure one of our team members had in Taiwan, this DIY kit brings to life the bustling narrow lanes, vibrant storefronts, and the lively buzz that make JiuFen a must-see for locals and travelers alike.
