Many restaurants in Japan display colorful and precise food replicas in their show windows. It’s often hard to believe they are fake. As the food replicas are appealing to the eyes so much, you might spend a lot of time in front of the show windows looking at them. Gujo-city in Gifu prefecture is Japan’s top food replica producing region. It takes about 2 hours from Nagoya-city via JR and Nagaragawa Railway to Gujo-hachiman. There are many food replica studios, and some of them offer workshops for tourists. Have fun making your own food replicas in Gujo. If you want to buy some food replicas, Kappabashi Street in Tokyo is a place to go. It’s the wholesale district specialized in cooking equipment and restaurant supplies located between Ueno and Asakusa. You can find many shops sell food replicas there.
