Gifuya.
Has anyone ever been there or heard about this?
Cool little shack with candies, cigarettes and a time-capsule of Japanese pop culture goodness.

And this pretty cool knick-knack antique place too!

Great videos. Thanks for sharing

I must've walked in front of Gifuya or one of those hundreds of shops once and all I could think was 'must be nice having that store'. There is a charm to the city, with its lets-fit-as-much-as-we-can-in-as-little-as-we-can approach. It is a wonderful city to get lost in.

Fun times, thanks for the nostalgia too!

This looks like Gifyu from the video. Same Gigantor and Felix pin-ups.

That's totally awesome. Such a cool little place with so much culture and sweetness packed in.
