Are Tokyo design cafes really going the way of the dodo?
We all know the recent casualties: Babe cafe, Meguro Office, Idee Workstation. Now today, while biking from Meguro to Shinjuku (I've got it down to under 30 min.) I noticed that 3rd Planet (in Shibuya under the Toyoko line tracks) is totally barren on the inside...no furniture, no nothing! There were some signs posted on the window, but I zipped by to fast to give them a read. Hopefully this is related to the work that appears to be going on on the train tracks nearby. I'd hate to lose THIS oasis too!
