packedlunch 0 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 OK so there's lots of shops in the Jimbotcho area of Tokyo, anyone have a favorite, one that you'd head to first? I'll be in Tokyo next week for a few days and want to take a trip down there. Link to post Share on other sites
boardbaka 3 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 You should head to "Reds" is well known...on the main strip....One of the other brilliant things about this area is most the shops have maps of the area listing all "competing " shops names and in my eperience the staff are more than happy to point you in the right direction. A bit different from the UK where 8 out of ten people admitted to sending tourists the wrong way for the fun of it!(Loaded Magazine...Another good bargain shop (all less than half price eqip. nad wear right now) is right down one end of the strip a couple of shops up from a First Kitchen...you can't miss it with loads of stuff overflowing cardboard boxes out the front....see my previous post re. this shopping dream....best of luck.... boardbaka Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 If you can read Japanese... http://www.sports-kanda.com/04.html http://www.sports-kanda.com/03.html Victoria is ok, they usually have a large selection and reasonable prices. You might be able to find better deals/haggle more at smaller places, though. Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 forgot to mention, another good shop to hit up in Shinjuku is Largo (near the Shinjuku Gyoen park): http://www.largo99.com/index.htm http://www.largo99.com/cafe/aboutus/map.htm still kinda early for 2004/5 gear, though..
