Japanese women ditch the 'Lolita' outfits for the bizarre 'Ganguro' fashion trend

While outrageous costumes and far-fetched fashion fads are not new in Japan, a Tokyo cafe is taking visitors back to the 1990s with their 'Ganguro' inspired get-ups.

The Ganguro trend saw women rebelling against 'traditional' Japanese beauty by slapping on layers of colourful make up, deep tans and bold clothing.

And the staff at Shibuya's Ganguro Cafe and Bar do not disappoint, showcasing their solid commitment to the alternative yet increasingly rare style.

The 10 ladies can be found behind the bar, many showing off their brightly coloured green, purple and multicoloured hair dos, unique food-inspired nail art and extreme make up looks.

The cafe also offers a range of specialty services, including the opportunity to take photo booth photos with the staff and have their make up done in traditional Ganguro style for 3,900 Japanese Yen ($46.00).

'Come to new tourist spot! We promise you a crazy experience!' The cafe wrote on the website.

The popular spot is a regular for both Japanese locals and foreigners, with the menus all translated into English.

On the menu visitors can treat themselves to Ganguro Balls (fried takoyaki style sausage balls in black squid ink batter), octopus balls and dumplings.

Guests can also choose to drink while the staff perform a 'chug-a-lug shouting of Japenese gyaru style' and view a 'parapara dance show'.

Reviews of the bar have been mainly positive, with many entertained by the resurgence of the seemingly fading subculture.

'Some people might recognise the "Ganguro" fashion trend from the internet or magazines, but if you expect to see Ganguro hanging around in Shibuya, you are wrong,' one visitor wrote on Trip Advisor.

'These girls are so rare now - but every single staff at Ganguro Cafe is real, authentic Ganguro!'

'It's a great place to have snacks and drinks and getting to know more about Japanese fashion, style and pop culture,' another said.
