Japanese Fascination for Anything French

In the big cities of Japan that we visited, there is an undeniable presence of French influence.  This can be seen from the cafes, the restaurants, the designer bags, and yes even the structures that permeate through the city.

Here are just some of the photos we captured to illustrate this point:

A French Tea Shop

Bakery

Hermes is a Popular Brand – At Osaka Airport there are two stores

The Louis Vuitton Display

 

The Tokyo Tower which looks like it’s Cousin in Paris

One can argue that this is French in Influence as the original was a gift of the People of France to the United States
