      @louisbosco 12 days total in Japan. Thinking of doing 6 or so in Tokyo, 3 or 4 around Mount Fuji, and 2 or 3 in Osaka with a day trip to Kyoto. Thinking of doing a ryokan near Kawaguchiko, so Clara can do spa stuff while I run around Fuji. Thoughts on that overall plan?

        @Nik I think that sounds like a good plan. Hachioji is not too far from Fuji area so you can calculate that into your plan for when you venture out.

        Some notable things that I encourage to see while in Japan:

        • Tokyo, teamlabs
        • Osaka, Osaka aquarium aka kaiyukan
        • Kyoto can be done together with Osaka if you allow more days
        • Kuromon market, Osaka

            I might say to just skip Kyoto if you only have a day. There's too much to see. Come back on another trip and spend minimum 3 nights. Osaka though you'll have a blast; If you want a day trip from there, go-to Nara.

            Otherwise that sounds mostly good to me.

            Another idea would be to steal one night from Tokyo, forward your bags from Osaka to your Fuji destination, and spend a night in Koya-San. It's a pretty incredible place and it's easily connected from Osaka namba.

              @louisbosco so sorry to high jack or jump in this post. But this made me feel so good about my upcoming trip. 13 days away. We fly into Haneda and our first block of our Tokyo trip we are staying in Shinagawa.

              @Nik i have a huge list of coffee shops that I’m looking to try. It seems like there are tons of cafes EVERYWHERE. It’s going to be my first time too. I’m so pumped. Ueno has a lot of denim/clothing spots like Hinoya. Osaka has ann Iron Heart shop that’s only about 30 mins east of the “downtown” area that I can tell based on google maps. ,
              There is also a Samurai, and Full Count stores.

              Have fun planning, I think I’ve spent the better portion of a year planning, and have loved it. Just so stoked to actually get wheels down and start the trip.

                          I am in Tokyo for some days. Did anyone of you visit the IH store in Hachioji?

                            Someone more forum savvy than me will probably pop a link in but there is a thread on here on the shop and how to get there etc etc

                                    They won't I am afraid, they don't stock the 777.

                                    All cuts that we now sell other than the 634/461/463 were designed by IHUK, not IHJP. IHJP stock some 666 and 555 in all stores, but no 777s and 888s. They have just started to take some 777/888 into Nagoya and Osaka, but I don't think they have any in Hachioji at the moment.

                                      During our recent trip to Japan we've been to a couple of denim shops. It was interesting to see how the Japanese wear denim, really inspiring. Most of them wear straight leg or even wide jeans. Therefore I can understand that IH in Japan doesn't stock much of the slim or slim-tapered jeans. (Regarding denim jackets Type I and Type II seems to be much more popular then Type III).

                                        @Alex thanks a lot Alex, you were right. They did not have any 777 or 555 in the store. But the staff was very friendly and helpful and the beautiful store was worth the visit. They also had some special Japanese IH T-Shirts but most of the items in the store were in XS,S or seldom in M. I was lucky to get a wonderful deck vest in L and after wearing the jacket for two days I have to admit that I like this jacket a lot.

                                          Anyone happen to know of any good vintage / second hand stores that carry Japanese clothing? When I went years ago I found most were littered with vintage Americana / Harley tees.

                                          You ever find any good stores?
