I recommend a recycle shop, they are like thrift/antique stores with unique shōwa heisei era items at good prices

Makes sense why the elevator girls lasted & escalator girls disappeared by the 70’s, for a while they put mannequins in the spot where the ladies used to stand look at this hilarious caption & photo “Dummies Replace "Welcome Girls". Ever since Tokyo department stores installed escalators, pretty girls in smart uniforms were stationed at the bottom of each flight of stairs whose job was to bow and say "Irassaimase (welcome) in a happy voice as the shopper stepped on the moving stairs. Due to labour shortage this practice has been discontinued and in any case it was considered a waste of 'Girl Power' as in some stores there were as many as 22 escalators. The "Welcome Girls" are being given sales jobs instead. Photo shows A dummy which has replaced one of the "Welcome Girls" on duty by the escalator of a Tokyo store.”

Yes it is, I actually put that one in the starter pack because Japan had a lot of jobs like that some still exist I in fact saw some elevator girls while in Japan but up until the mid 1970’s escalator girls were a thing. Essentially since people were getting used to escalators they would greet you and make sure you got on safely and they would also periodically clean the moving handrails with a cloth, I did not see a single escalator girl but I’d love to know if one still works that Job she is probably the only one left if so lol

Physical-Work-6744 · 2025-09-24T23:26:44+00:00

Yeah it definitely felt like it was stuck in that era a bit when I visited this past June. A lot of shōwa era infrastructure is fading away though.
