Where do you go with retro fashion? 7 Winter outing spots in Aichi Prefecture

January 12, 2024

It's getting really cold. You want to go out, but winter clothes tend to be plain and dark.

In such cases, "Retro Fashion" is recommended!

The key to retro fashion is that it's not too flashy, but still attractive.

This time, we will introduce 7 spots in Aichi Prefecture while introducing retro clothes sold at RonRon.

There are plenty of spots where you can relax and take photos that are sure to look great ♡

Since it is mainly indoors, it is also recommended for those who want to go out but don't like the cold💦.

⑴ Handa red brick building

The Handa red brick building was built in 1898 (Meiji 31) as a Kabuto beer manufacturing factory. It is said to be one of the top five brick buildings in Japan, which is built during the Meiji period. You can taste the reprinted Kabuto Beer draft beer at the cafe and beer hall, or take a guided tour where you can learn about the history and manufacturing method of Kabuto Beer.

Not only the exterior, but also the signs displayed in the permanent exhibition room have a very retro and calming atmosphere. An elegant plaid skirt, beret, and low-heeled shoes are perfect to wear ♪ I also want to pair it with a luxurious velvet vest ♡

In addition to the Japanese-style houses of Japanese great persons, there are many Western-style buildings such as St. Xavier's Cathedral and music boxes. We recommend a classic dress that is a little tight and has lace. Wear a toque hat on your head and pumps on your feet for a neat look.

The highlight is the stained glass in the central stair hall. As it is a historic building, just the light gives a majestic atmosphere. If you like interior design, we also recommend the restored conference room on the 3rd floor. You can see all the furniture, including chandeliers and carpets, which are restored to the original state.

Elegant and chic clothes would probably go well with Nagoya City Archives♡ The ribbon is removable, so you can match it to suit your image. Wear shoes with heels for a retro madam outfit.

A soft pleated blouse and brown skirt are perfect for the quiet atmosphere of a bookstore with the calming smell of paper and coffee. I love that it has a design that doesn't constrict the body, making it a relaxing outfit. Style it like a movie lady with low-heeled pumps and large earrings.
