Tokyo Swan 14: Ueno and Harajuku Shopping With Girls



Before heading out to Japan, many study abroad students wonder how shopping for clothing will be. What will the sizes and styles be like? How about the price? Let me put any concerns to rest becuase shopping for clothes in the Tokyo area is great. First, there is Harajuku which is a fantastic section of Tokyo that is known for different fashions and styles. There are so many different clothing shops that there is really something for everyone. The prices range from very pricey to very cheap, and if you look around it won't take you long to find something great.

Ueno is another sectin of Tokyo that is typically known for the great park and zoo there, but there's also quite a few clothing stores over there as well. In general, the Tokyo area has many different options for fashion. While this video focuses on fashion for girls, I of course did shopping for myself on numerous occasions, and the same holds true for guys. I really enjoyed the variety of stores that are found in Tokyo.

Also not present in this video is the famous Shibuya 109. This is basically the most well known clothing shop for girls in Tokyo, and it was just floors and floors of different clothing stores. Shopping with the girls certainly tired me out, but it was a fantastic time!
