I have been. and its very cheap here for cabs.
Honestly, I just don't care enough about shopping to be bothered. If it is not easily in reach, then whatever. I'd rather relax and have some curry or Ramen and people watch.
I was looking for some vintage Sony studio condenser microphones. That...
I own some Burgess stuff already. Bought it at Hinoya in Osaka Namba last time I was there in 2020. I'll be going there and Jelado when I get to Osaka. The Iron heart shop is a ways away from where I am staying so I won't be able to go there. I'd like to go to Porky's in Kyoto also and maybe...
Thanks. That is kind of what I expected regarding taxes but asked just in case.
Found the Lee store in Lumine. I was expecting something larger but at least I could try some jeans. I am a 32 waist and a 32 in a slim Lee was huge. I'd be a 30 or 31 but they had none.
On a side note, does anyone know if I can reclaim my taxes from my Desolation Row purchase? They do not offer tax free shopping for tourists. Some malls have a kiosk where you can get tax back ect but I am unsure if I can do that on my Freewheeler's purchase.
Is there a kiosk at the Narita...
Thanks Blackadder.
I am not far from Lumine at the Sotetsu Hotel Sunroute just down from JR Shinjuku station. I'll have another go and find the Lee store today.
I figured I'd get a few days worth and that is it but it is not over the top like at home. Christmas adverts starting at the end of October makes me crazy. My whole life I have never been into it really. Even as a kid.
There are lots of big Japanese guys so I am unsure why it is so hard to find larger sizes. I am a 40 and lots of Japanese guys are taller and thicker than me so not sure why that is.
I need to go back into Shinjuku Station to catch the Shinkansen to Kyoto on Thursday so I will go in an hour...
Rad, Thanks Jasonissm. I did think it was in the Lumine like you said but was unsure and my google maps kept directing me to an alley behind Lumine. I just got really annoyed and abandoned my search. I wanted to buy some Iron Heart jeans once I got to Osaka but that Freewheeler's vest destroyed...
I don't eat at the dirty bird. I have not seen one yet but there is a Wendy's fried chicken joint here which is odd. The Japanese take on Subway is kind of whack too but you have to look at things through a relativistic lens coming to places like this. Their version of Western fast food is...
I'm going to try again and check out the Lee jeans shop in Shinjuku today. I could not find it the other day. Google maps had me going in circles. I think it may be in the shopping level of Shinjuku Station but will have another go today. Only a 10 min walk from me but I was looking for that...
Then saw this rad old 70's Countach in some kind of Santa run a few minutes later. I came to a primarily non-Christian country to avoid Christmas but no such luck. At least I am not being inundated with nauseating Christmas carols like I would be at home.
Walking back to my hotel I found this cool little burger joint down the lane from Desolation Row. Big burger and fries for about $7 CAD. It was delicious.
I'm in Japan right now for a few weeks so I decided to truck on down to Desolation Row in Shibuya, from my hotel in Shinjuku and check things out. Was about a 20-minute walk each way so not too bad.
I own many Freewheelers pieces so I always wanted to check their shop out and now I had my...
Bought these a while ago but never got to them. Been worn a couple times around the house, then put away and I forgot about them. I need cash for tuition and these need some feet put them to be worn and enjoyed since I am not fulfilling that duty. I'd love to keep them but I have way too many...
I have one of these in black. I am a 40 in everything and take a 40 in Rainbow Country. Their stuff fits as a 40 should except that 40s car coat fits large. RC makes really nice jackets and are on par and just as nice as my Freewheelers.
