Eat, Drink & Be a Merry Cosplayer!

The word yokocho, or “alley,” is often used in Japan to refer to a narrow side street lined with izakaya taverns and restaurants all clustered together in a small space to create a lively atmosphere. For anime, game and manga fans who know where to look, there’s a very different kind of yokocho called Cosplay Yokocho.

And for those too shy to wear their cosplay outfits to the venue, there are changing rooms on site for customers to use so they can transform themselves into their favorite character in a fun and non-judgmental environment.

To add to the fun atmosphere of the alley, a rental photography studio can also be found on the premises, offering the “lowest prices in the region” for both group and personal use.

And customers can also earn points for drinking and dining on the premises, which can be exchanged for discount coupons.

With so many deals and services on offer, along with the promise of tasty food and beverages, this cosplay haven won’t stay a secret for long. Be sure to check it out before everyone else crashes the party!
