Japan, Explained a Little Deeper.
Language, culture, travel — and the little things Japan doesn’t always explain.
Stories, Lessons & Tips from Japan
Learn the Japanese you actually hear, understand the culture behind everyday life, and discover Tokyo through the places I know.
Japanese Language • Culture • Tokyo • Travel
Gundam Base | Odaiba
Gundam Base is a fun place to just look at many figures but also in the outside courtyard you can see the big Gundam statue. Definitely worth seeing it!!
Hinoya (ヒノヤ) | Japanese Denim in Ueno
Ueno has a long connection with American casual style. Hinoya is one of my favorite places to see that history through Japanese denim.
Nakata Shoten (中田商店) | Ueno
Military jackets, MA-1s, camouflage and classic Americana. Nakata Shoten is part of the wonderfully chaotic shopping culture around Ueno.
Yamashiroya (ヤマシロヤ) | Ueno Toy Store
Small space, tons of stuff, locals and tourists all mixed together—Yamashiroya is wonderfully chaotic and, to me, very Ueno.
