Setting up Shop in Okamoto

So after the JLPT we decided we should go get a beer and celebrate the test being over. We wound up at this very posh little cafe in Okamoto that doubled as a high-end doggie hair parlor. Check this place out:

Of course, we just stopped because we liked the porch and it was close to where we took the JLPT (the one requirement being that they had beer... but the fondue and curry turned out to be awesome), but this place was crazy. As we left, we realized the whole street was filled with little boutiques and had about 8 hair salons. This is apparently a student area, but the whole area (ok, maybe just this street) was very Soho, very elegant and upscale... very not Akashi/Harimacho. Kristine, Lena and I contemplated opening a trendy English Cafe down the road. People could get their hair done while we teach them English and then we'd have a swanky little loft above the salon. Yeah, I know, not going to happen... but kinda of fun. I definately want to come explore this area more sometime!
