Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum (Part 4) / 江戸東京たてものの園 （パート４）

This is the last installment of the Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum. I shall start out with featuring an old sign advertising a popular Japanese drink - Calpis. Below the drink, it says "Hatsukoi no Aji" which translates to "The Taste of First Love".

今回は江戸東京たてものの園の最後のネタ。最初紹介するのは昔のカルピスの広告。

Public Bathhouse "Kodakara-yu" / 小宝湯

Mount Fuji is almost a must in any sento (public bathhouse).

やっぱり銭湯には富士山の絵ですね。

The artwork on the tiles are great too.

タイルのアートも素晴らしい。

Aren't the tiles great?

After checking out the bathhouse, we went next door to check out the bar.
