After the Fujiwara tofu shop in "Initial D" was demolished, Takumi actually lived in a luxury villa?

The comic "Initial D" is a totem-level existence in the hearts of many car fans. For them, the first car culture they encountered was nothing more than this Japanese comic. The protagonist of the manga, Fujiwara Takumi, opened a tofu shop at home, which was managed by his father, Fujiwara. In 2005, the live-action film "Initial D" starring Jay Chou was released, and the film also fully reproduced the shape of the "tofu shop".

The filming location of the live-action movie "Initial D" tofu shop is located in the center of Shibukawa, Gunma Prefecture, Japan The 80-year-old "Fujinoya Tofu Shop" was remodeled. After the filming of the original tofu shop, it kept the light box sign of "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" and continued to operate, becoming an Internet celebrity attraction for fans with initial D and sightseeing. Later, due to the reconstruction of local roads, the tofu shop was forced to demolish just a few years ago.

For the forced closure of the tofu shop, the owner was also very helpless. In order for this sign to continue to be seen by car fans, the owner gave the sign to the local Ikaho Humanoid Auto Museum for public exhibition. At the same time, this museum also exhibits 75 classic cars from all over the world, including the Ferrari F40, Toyota GT2000, Nissan Skyline GT-R and so on.

In fact, except for the "net celebrity shop" opened by fans, We can also buy toys related to "Initial D". Even if you can't physically go to the filming location and express your love for movies in other ways, it is a joy of life!

In the author’s opinion, although the city is constantly developing, the reconstruction of roads will inevitably lead to The environment is more beautiful, but in the process of "urbanization", are some historic buildings or scenes worth staying instead of being demolished? In this regard, the domestic attitude towards the protection of cultural relics is worthy of our affirmation. After all, once some cultural heritage is destroyed, it can no longer be restored!
