/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm going to Japan this summer for the first time. I'll probably spend some time in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Sendai.

Do you have any protips about:
> good lolita-related shops
> cute places
> nice views
> hidden gems
> how to avoid drama
> other things I should know

What would you gulls consider ideal "lifestyle"-esque places to work? Obviously some would require uniforms but it's more the feeling you'd get from working there I guess. Here's some I could think of:
> Brand Store (obvious)
> Library
> Bookstore
> Bakery
> Makeup Store
> Toy Store (inb4 "ageplay!", preferably I mean ones with older style vintage toys)
> Secondhand or Consignment Store
> Antique Shop
> Taxidermist (for gothic)
> Doll Shop
You would think cafe but no -- rushing around constantly, spilling hot drinks all over yourself and your coworkers, serving stale food to grouchy customers, and coming home with the permanent smell of burnt coffee on you. Absolutely not like my kawaii animus showed me, 0/10.
