I'm heading to Tokyo next week. Any shops or places I should definitely go to, or shit I should look at or buy?
>>18770200On that note I'll probably hit up Loopwheeler for some hoodies, and Samurai for jeans. I'm pretty interested in JP autistically woven cotton, but I'm also looking for more normal basic and a lot more budget things too.
>>18770200There is a store right next to the Suehirocho metro station called S & Graf. They sell military surplus and reproductions from all over the world. I bought some Third Reich stuff there.
BEARS in Shimokitazawa is a must visit. Its a great denim shop and the staff speaks good enough english. I picked up a pair of TCB jeans for like $150 and buying them in the USA would be very inconvenient and a lot more. I loved this shop, they even hemmed my pants, if I remember right it was free. I plan to go see the Rolling Dub Trio shop or one of the stockists too, its very hard to buy those (look it up) and I think also its worth visiting Harajuku for sure, I tried a place called Cassidy there that was nice enough, little spendy for what it is but the owner/operator was very nice and if you like USA prep stuff that's a nice place to get your foot in the door of the neighborhood.I mostly rec going for denim, its going to be cheaper over there than in the USA especially with the exchange rate so favorable. I recc BEARS over some shops in Ueno because I went to both and preferred the trip out to BEARS. There's also a lot of thrift shops in that neighborhood so its very laid back in general, not too far from some nice cafes, etc etc.It'd be more helpful if you could tell the audience here what you like or whatever, because its like the biggest city in the world and they have a lot to look at.
i would never go to japan its not classy
>>18771135powerful statement
>>18771519its not, its a mega city with prostitutes and crime, dirt. Smelly people and trains. Buildings too tall and not enough trees. Noise

>>18770200>Any shops or places I should definitely go toReally depends on your interests. Tokyo's neighborhoods have their focuses: books, cookware, video games/electronics, etc.> shit I should look at or buy?Again, it depends on what you're looking for. For example, Tokyo (and Japan in general) is great for vintage watch shopping; you can score some fantastic deals for old watches that'd cost a fortune in the states.
>>18770200Harajuku/Omotesando area is the fashion district of Tokyo. Specifically go to the Laforet mall and the other buildings around it.
>>18771547I am pretty interested in accessories, preppy stuff and street wear. I am looking to get a haori or yukata potentially too.>>18770624A friend of a friend has a shop in Shimokitazawa so I've had a good amount of fun there. I'll definitely check out BEARS.>>18770489Based?
