From Los Angeles To San Francisco
Road Trip Guide
Vol.01
For the 'West Coast' feature in Popeye magazine's 40th anniversary issue (July 2016), Hiroki Nakamura and his partner Kelsi set out on a 4-day, 3-night road trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco. There were many photos from the trip that weren't used in the new issue, so we decided to use there extra photos with the original story to make a travel guide.
Maxwell's Cafe
This is one of Nakamura's favorite old-style diners, located in Culver City, Los Angeles. You can enjoy a variety of American breakfast classics, such as hash browns, eggs Benedict, pancakes, waffles, and the special 'garbage omelette,' a hearty dish filled with ham and vegetables. A local restaurant where it is not uncommon to see a queue.
East Meets West Antiques
Los Angeles-based shop specializing in old American crafts and folk art, frequented by world traveler and avid collector Hiroki Nakamura. Highlights of this shop are the vintage textiles - 18th-19th century Navajo blankets, original Beacon and Pendleton blankets, and American quilts. This time, Nakamura decides on a 19th century chess board. The chess board is featured in the 'My Archive' section of Popeye's July issue, where you can read about it in further detail.
Pasadena Antique Center And Annex
Within the vast city of Los Angeles there is a cozy, relaxed town called Pasadena that boasts a large number of antique shops, the largest of which might be Pasadena Antique Center. The store, opened in 1976, hosts approximately 130 vendors, ranging from lifestyle goods to handicrafts, furniture, art, and collectors items. It is truly a place where one can spend the whole day in exploration.
Sequoia And Kings Canyon National Parks
About four hours north of Los Angeles by car, located on the eastern side of the southern Sierra Nevada mountains, we find the neighboring Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. In 1875, writer, explorer, and naturalist John Muir famously called this area the 'giant forest,' in reference to the giant sequoias trees (sequoiadendron) indigenous to the area. Within that forest stands the largest tree by volume known to man - the General Sherman Tree. The park encompasses a vertical relief of over 4,000 meters, and is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. At the northwest entrance to the park lies Grant Grove Village, where guests can stay in one 34 rooms at the John Muir Lodge, a quaint lodging area with 3 camps of 1920's style log cabins.
