      Kinda "hard" to find. Look for the stairs leading down through a very dark passage. At the bottom of the stairs you'll come to a vending machine….

      This sounds like the entry point into some of the more “obscure” stories I’ve heard about Japan!!

            @marco23d thanks man!! I think it will be a cool opportunity to check out some brands I haven’t had a chance to put my hands on before.

              I was in Tokyo in October. The amount of Iron Heart in the Ueno shops is very limited. I think they had 2 models of jeans in the Hinoya shop. This actually surprised me because when I visited 15 years ago they had loads of Iron Heart.

              Is your layover in Haneda or Narita? Narita is quite a distance from downtown Tokyo.

              The Iron Heart shop is about an hour from the west side of Tokyo (Shinjuku).

              The two main areas for denim in Tokyo are Ueno and Harajuku.

                @DrPat thanks for the deets! Our layover is in Haneda. I’m def on the hunt for denim and clothing in the realm we all love. Seems like Ueno might be the best bet for one stop access.

                Is this like a shopping district with stores that carry the brands we love? Or the brands we love have their individual shops in this area?

                      @Mizmazzle there are a couple of brand stores, I think Japan blue has one?, but for the most part each store has a mix of brands generally specializing in different items. Lots of leather stores, military style ones, and then just other American casual, etc. It's a pretty packed and lively area. Harajiku is the place to go for the more brand specific store shopping experience if you want, but it's further away and for a short layover may be less efficient to snag a few items.

                      The IH selection is pretty slim as drpat notes. I was there a couple weeks before him and saw a few different shirt styles from fresh releases and one of two jean cuts. I didn't recall seeing any IH in harajuku fwiw, but I also wasn't looking too hard.

                          Not sure if this is the right place to ask and hoping people at the 21st anniversary party can give more advice, but basically, going to Tokyo for two weeks in April, what should we do?

                            @Nik Moved your question to this thread. There are some pretty good recommendations already here and I’m sure others will chime in with their experiences.

                                            Recommendations for which area to stay in while in Tokyo for the first time? Thinking Shibuya? Would like to be near good food and coffee, art, and of course good clothing shops.
