Daiba Icchome Shotengai (June 2012)

Showa-era themed entertainment area in Odaiba

(This is a photo gallery I imported from my old website.) The 台場一丁目商店街 (Daiba Icchome Shotengai, or "shopping street of Daiba's 1st district") is a themed attraction inside the Decks Tokyo Beach shopping mall in Odaiba. It's designed to look like a typical Japanese townscape from the middle of the Showa era (1950s to 1970s). Walking inside feels a bit like traveling back in time. All the photos are from June 2012. They're dark and crappy because that's all the iPhone camera of the time was able to do.

Note on AI usage

I don't use AI to write blog posts or articles for me. However, I do use it in order to fix my grammar and spelling mistakes. Please understand that English is my 3rd language, so my writing is pretty pathetic.

My writing process involves writing the first draft fully by myself (sometimes including words or sentences in Catalan or Spanish if I don't know the right English expression), then I get it checked by an AI, then I review the revised draft and fix weird words or expressions before posting the final text.
