bigjimmystyle 0 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I've heard alot about a district in Tokyo where you can go clean up on all last season's gear. In particular I remember hearing about one store called Victoria's. Can anyone tell me how to get there and when the sales begin? Thanks all Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi Bigjimmystyle. I think it's in Kanda if it's Victoria. Located in Kanda ogawamachi, so perhaps JR Kanda station, Ochanomizu station, subway Ogawamachi station etc are close to reach there. They have another branch in Shinjuku as well. map around Kanda(japanese though) http://map.yahoo.co.jp/pl?nl=35.41.26.306&el=139.46.29.227&la=1&sc=3&CE.x=123&CE.y=81 their web ( also japanese) http://www.victoria.co.jp/ But I am not a Tokyoite, so am not good at details about the location though Good luck!

sock_monkey 0 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 basically walk along the main road between shin-ochanomizu/ogawamachi stn and jimbocho stn all the shops are there. minami, mizuno, altus, victoria, alpen, ICI, some outlets, and a few smaller pro shops. there's also Saikaya but it's between jimbocho stn and JR suidobashi stn there's only a small shop on the main road the rest of it is split among a bunch of small locations in the streets behind it (shoes, outdoor, clothing, montbell stuff, etc) there's also a Victoria store across from new south exit on the east side of JR shinjuku stn but you'll have better luck with ski stuff at the Kanda location Link to post Share on other sites
