More places on the Arcade

 This place is quite interesting. The right side is a small restaurant and the left side is a food store that sells the materials they use in the restaurant. I have never eaten there, but might try it some time.

 This is one of the alleyways leading off the Arcade. There are small shops first and then a lot of bars and restaurants.

 This is the alleyway that I was looking for. I was on my way to a JALT meeting that was to be held at the far end. We used to use this site frequently when Maruzen, the English language bookstore, was near here, but recently we have used other places.

At the end of the alleyway, there is a park. One night after a meeting, it was warm so instead of going to a bar we bought beer in the convenience store on the other side of the corner and spend the evening drinking in the park. I was a very nice time.

 

 The meeting was inside the building on the right. The stairs in the middle structure lead to the entrance hall.

 This is a sitting room inside the site. It is hard to see but in the back there is a glassed-in area. This is for smoking and it has a fan to draw the smoke outside so that it does not smell up the sitting area. Out of the picture on the right there is a small library, just one wall of book shelves.
