shopping

Hi,

I wondered were can I buy unique/local clothing and shoes in Japan that wonft be very expensive. What are the local brands? Ifm going to stay in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima etcf. From my experience in every city, there are the places that you can find gbargainsh; for example gCamden townh and gNotting hillh in London

thanks!

I would think that Tokyo and Osaka (30-40 min. by frequent trains from Kyoto)are the best places for latest fashions in Japan. Camden town is alternative and very touristy and Notting Hill is more and more upmarket so Harajuku/ Omotesando would be somewhat similar. But there are so many shopping areas in both Tokyo and Osaka and so many shops in all sorts of price ranges in each area it is impossible to give names.
