Tokyo has a town for everything you can possibly think of. Why did it take me eight years to find out about used clothes town?
Shimokitazawa is packed with clothes but it is also famous for its (once) beautiful walking path along the railway, for ghost trains and for barrier crossings that seem to open and close at very random times (to let ghost trains pass, of course). Unfortunately the area was under heavy construction, a bit of a disappointment when I arrived in front of the station.
Disappointment did not last too long, though, after a few minutes I felt like this was my kind of town. Weird, laid-back, casual, not serious, great fun to explore.
Clothes, clothes clothes wherever you look. Almost too much. And most of of them, hmmmm, well, how to say.... ermm... crap special?
If you need a break why don't you have your hair cut at Dude's? And then continue shopping at Junkie.
What's Mammothjump style? (I am so not up to date with the latest fashion).
Duke was one of the funkiest shops. Thinking back, a lot of those shops are strongly American oriented (or inspired?).
Breaking in?
Naaah, I'll pass this one...
This looks familiar, but what is it?
More soon...
