Stardust, Yokohama’s Vintage Bar
View this post on Instagram
At night in Yokohama, a city just south of Tokyo, a neon sign catches the eye. Once you enter Bar Stardust, the time machine springs into gear and takes you back to the 1960s.
A ceiling covered with vinyl records, posters of pin-ups on the walls, worn black leather seats… In this bar that hasn’t changed in over fifty years, the decoration remains the same. At the counter, that has only been enhanced with time, stand the regular customers, the most loyal of whom even get to have their name on their favourite bottle.
