Fallen Angel (9781101578810)

  This store in Kabuki-chō specializes in the slinky sparkly styles hostesses wear when they are working.

  This is Shibuya, where fashionable young Tokyo shops, dances and parties. This crossing is famous, because over 1000 people cross it in all directions, every time the light changes.

  The famous 109 building is stuffed full of tiny boutiques full of really short skirts, really high heels and sparkly accessories that appeal to girls like Coco.

  This is the famous garden in the neighborhood where Yumi lives. For three weeks in the fall, it’s open at night, with spotlights shining up into the trees so people who work during the day can enjoy the autumn leaves. Rikugi-en was made by the 5th shogun’s grand chamberlain in 1695, cleverly designed to include 88 views that are described in famous waka (31-syllable) poems

  This is the cafe where Yumi meets Coco for lunch. The waitresses at the Princess Heart dress in maid costumes and call customers Your Highness.

  Here is a dog getting a swimming lesson at the Dog Petit Resort Joker in Odaiba, where Hoshi meets Mrs. Ono.

  This is a love hotel in Kabuki-chō. It has two rates: a cheaper one for a 2-3 hour “stay” and a more expensive rate for overnight. Because people live in cramped, and sometimes crowded, conditions, love hotels provide much-needed privacy, even for married couples. Many love hotels compete for customers by decorating their rooms with crazy themes, like this fantasy castle.

  This is the Calico Cat Cafe, where Zoro hangs out. Patrons pay by the hour to be ignored by the cats as if they were their very own.
