Uma Tarde em Liberdade: A Cidade Japonesa de São Paulo
Liberdade, no centro de São Paulo, é o lar da maior comunidade japonesa fora do Japão — e isso se reflete em cada rua: lâmpadas vermelhas estilo torii, calçadas de azulejos e placas de lojas em três alfabetos.
O passeio
- Praça da Liberdade — chegue pela estação Liberdade (Linha 1) e olhe para cima: a plataforma e a praça carregam motivos japoneses.
- Feirinha da Liberdade — nos fins de semana, a praça se enche de barracas de comida: takoyaki, gyoza, yakisoba e pastel com um toque japonês. Vá antes das 14h.
- Rua Galvão Bueno — a rua principal para compras de alimentos, papelaria e doces que você não encontrará em nenhum outro lugar do Brasil.
- Jardim Oriental — um pequeno jardim a alguns quarteirões a oeste, bom para uma pausa tranquila.
Dicas práticas
- A feira funciona sábado e domingo; os dias de semana são mais calmos e melhores para compras.
- A maioria das barracas aceita Pix e cartões, mas um pouco de dinheiro em espécie acelera as coisas.
- Combine com uma manhã no centro: Liberdade fica a uma parada de metrô da Sé.
