    Any tips on where to go? I'll only be there for a few days so most likely not going to visit the garage in Hachioji.

    On my list so far:
    Moto
    PBJ
    Lakota
    Unionworks

    Appreciate any info/tips. Thanks!

        I'm going to Japan for the first time in february. I'll be in Tokyo for at least a week and I'll visit Kyoto as well. Hachioji is a must-visit for me but I'm also looking for suggestions.

        AIAN HA-TO!

          Shibuya is just a neighborhood inside Tokyo, although I reckon it could warrant its own guide…

            Yes I am aware. G and I thought it would be wise to have a specific thread for it since there is a mass amount of information/ stores/ etc. Please feel free to make suggestions to me via PM if you are familiar with Japan, Tokyo, Shibuya, or wherever. Thank you!

              went to Ueno yesterday and shopped at Americaya and Hinoya.  So cool as all of the premium denim stores are lined right next to each other.  Everyone was super nice and I picked up a pair of SDA 21oz jeans.  I looked for some IH at Hinoya but they didn't have any western flannels and I get all my IH jeans from Giles.

              I'm going to hit the SDA Shibuya store on Saturday.

                Anyone got advice for how to embed google maps here? Pasting in the direct URL will display the map but only a small version.

                Once I get this working I'll add some more spots. I'm assuming Shibuya means Shibuya ward which includes the Ebisu, Daikanyama, Shibuya proper, Harajuku and Jingumae neighborhoods.

                  I was able to hit the SDA store in Harajuku last Saturday night.  Harajuku in itself is a very nice shopping area.  I was able to pick up some kiddy bear blanket ponchos and toys for my sons.  The SDA store was very nice but they didn't carry anything that fit me on the top (pretty much the case in all of Tokyo).  I also checked out the Edwin store which was cool too.

                          Text is written in german but for all others, might you are interested to see some pics (enlargement of the images by clicking on it):

                            Japanese Baseball is amazing! So much co-ordination, activity, and general buzz from the crowd. 3.5 hours of non-stop 'things' for players and runs etc. Goes SO far beyond the rally cap/sweep traditions.

                            Worth going to for anyone in Japan up for an experience, don't even need to like the game! (but it'll help).

                            http://www.japanball.com/tickets.htm is where I got our tickets from, delivered to the hotel.

                                Okay, next trip booked for Late May 2015. Going to miss all the denim tours and shows, was just when we could get leave.

                                3 weeks and with Mrs Snowy this time. Hiroshima and Sapporo on the list. Thoughts of Nagano/Kyoto for another trip in a different season there also….

                                  But, you are likely to be there when the Clutch Show is on 26-28 May in Okayama.  I'll be at that as well as the normal time in May in Tokyo

                                    Thanks. Yes, we will be around that way for it, woo hoo. Will add to the list and see if we can get down there for it.

                                        Out of nowhere, it seems that our next trip will be to Japan. My wife happened to find a good price on tickets & 10 minutes later we booked.

                                        2 adults 40s, 2 girls 3 & 7.

                                        We arrive into Tokyo on the 6th of April and fly out of Tokyo on the 18th. And thats all we have planned/confirmed at the moment.

                                        Well obviously want to break it down into something like three 4 day trips vs 12 days of Tokyo.

                                        So….Any thoughts? What would you do with 2 weeks in Japan?

                                        Thanks in advance.

                                          You'd have to hit up Kyoto on a day trip. Mt Fuji on another. That's the obvious day trips out of the way.

                                          Kyoto really can be 2-3 days itself, and then you can get to Osaka and other places from there.

                                          I'd suggest 3 days in Kyoto, spend the rest in Tokyo.

                                          More later, need to pack to get to Brisbane this way. Owe a guy an e-mail with suggestions also, so will get stuff together.
