im traveling there for leisure. i mentioned socks bc japan is known for them, e.g. anonymous ism. so i was wondering if there are any other pieces that japan is known for.

>>12042834
nope that's pretty much it

>>12042801
Jeans. If I ever went to Japan I'd spend way too much on jeans.

>>12042910
fuck that's heavyyyyyyyy

>>12042834
yeah, other than socks i cant think of anything japan really exceeds at

>>12042917
considering their shit reputation for vintage attire, techwear, and trad - not to mention home decor and stationery - I'd just not go tbqhimofam

>>12042834
japan only makes socks no stores are worth checking out there other than ones that sell socks really a waste of a trip in terms of shopping

>>12042901
oh ok
>>12042910
noted
>>12042915
sure
>>12042917>>12042923>>12042927
i just feel like there has to be more, no?

>>12042949
dont ignore me

>>12042801
I just got back from Tokyo.

If you're into sneakers and shit go to Harajuku just to look around. They have small shops that are pretty cool.

As a heads up, everything is expensive as hell so its not really worth buying too much.

Does anyone have travel tips as to maximising your time in a country. I'm looking to spend maybe 3-4 weeks there next year and would be going cheap on accommodation - backpackers, airbnb etc.

>>12042965
Just stay in hostels the whole time. Shits super cheap and you meet people easily.

Camping is a no go in the cities obviously, but I'm not sure if its cool in the country side (probably not tho).

>>12042949
nah, honestly japan is like sock central, japan literally cant make anything good other than socks, dude.

that watermark tho

not to glorify japan but its literally the fashion capital of the world
paris is heavily overrated
the japanese fashion scene is really organic and diverse, all the niches you could ever dream of

>>12043031
you should add 'if you love socks' to the end of it, because japan is definitely the fashion capital of the world when it comes to socks. anything else no, japan hasnt contributed anything other than cool sock patterns

>>12043034
indeed

>>12043034>>12043036
so what are the best japanese sock brands? what stores should i go to for socks? uniqlo socks?

>>12043041
i literally dont even know if youre joking anymore

>>12043041
yeah, uniqlo probably is the greatest sock maker in the world, hands down. and the japanese uniqlo has the larger selection of socks, you'll see. as soon as you step in they'll have a section the size of an entire house just dedicated to socks.

there's also SockMeizu, WatashiSock, and sasockfabrix

>>12043054
i was never joking about japan's socks
>>12043064
ok cool, i was going to go to my local uniqlo but ill hold off. if you have the address to these places id be forever grateful.

>>12043079
sure dude, here's the one i went to
Japan, 〒107-0052 東京都港区赤坂9 Chome−7, 9丁目7−4 東京ミッドタウン B1F Tokyo Midtown
its totally worth going to japan to visit uniqlo, it's literally a sock dream in there, man. you'll like it. as a sock connoisseur, i highly highly suggest it.

>>12042972
I'm probably not much of a camper anyway. Thanks

>>12042801
Theres a shop in harajuku thats on the second floor of a building with a large clothing store. I believe the first floor store was named Jeans Mate but I forget. A Nigerian runs the store on the second floor and sells top tier knockoffs of shitty overbranded fuccboi wear. BAPE, HBA, and timberlands for some reason. The guy is really cool, if you mention "One love" he will hook it.

is it true that undercover is at affordable prices in japan

>>12042801
lol yellow fever faggot
hope u get aids from those chinks kek

>>12043513
Tshirts still start at $90.

OP if you really want fancy socks try going to United Arrows or Beams. Uniqlo will be your best bet tho, I bought a shit to when I was there. Also Shinjuku is a shithole, be prepared to get hassled by Nigerian pimps.

>>12043513
no, nothing is cheaper, just better selection

There's some cool vintage shops in shimokitazawa.

shinjuku is cool although super expensive. also if you're at all overweight prepare to struggle to find anything, i'm a manlet and i still had to buy japanese xxl
