underrated neighborhood to thrift in tokyo — with a full list of stores included! comment “GIMME” if you want the full list of stores (& more) in google maps! (will dm u!) i went to kichijoji, which is apparently a super popular neighborhood for people to live in, and is also the home of the ghibli museum it’s only a 15m train ride from shinjuku station so it makes for the perfect half day or full day trip outside of tokyo definitely recommend going here, the energy is great in this part of town!! follow @andrewpolo_ for more shopping / fashion adventures 😀 #wheretoshop #japantrip #japanesefashion #menstyle #mensfashion #thriftvlog

In Kyoto, we visited Taiga Takahashi’s concept store/art gallery ~hybrid~ It’s a beautifully curated space blending textiles and interior design. The store features his latest collection alongside sculptures and art pieces-all thoughtfully displayed together. There’s even a serene courtyard at the back that lets in a bunch of natural light. Even if you’re not looking to buy anything, it’s worth visiting just to appreciate the space itself. The ~quiet~ in store feels like the perfect escape from the busy surrounding streets of Gion, which can get really crowded and overwhelming.
