I finagled a work trip to Tokyo in 2017 and still wear what I bought on that trip all the time. As a big white dude certain proprietors LIT UP at my arrival because they had something big in the back they knew would work. Generally my advice is stick to the single brand stores for the makers you love. My faves in no particular order:
Heading out there for the first time this Easter with a similarly massive Google Maps list!
Didn't realise there was a J.Press so that's now on there as well.
Sounds good! Hope you have a great time

- BLUE BLUE
- the flat head
- pure blue Japan
- Brycelands (but no need now with London store)
- junky special
Thanks for the suggestions Simon!
Fantastic! Looking forward to learning more about your Japan trip and following along.
