Arcades are
quite common in Japan, ok I guess we all know that by now. However, the kind of
arcades that can be found in Japan are way longer than I expected.
My first
encounter with it was on
my way to the Osaka Castle when I first saw lots of people getting inside
this long street(arcade). I couldn’t go in the first time because I’d had a plan already
but I checked it on the way back and this is what I saw.
It doesn’t
matter how many words and how detailed my description can be, an arcade it’s
one of those places that you have to experience first-hand. Looking at all the
people walking, lots of bicycles – to my surprise not crashing into someone (I’m
not saying it doesn’t happen but I didn’t see any accident), nobody looking at
anything or anybody but looking at everything at the same time.
