Speaking of Ben Fiddich, Lucky Peach quite recently had a feature on the "sanctuary bars of Tokyo" which featured it.

The writer's actual list is decent, Martha and Ben Fiddich may be busy but they're not tourist disasters like JBS has become. I've found that if you go to these bars at odd hours you still get a pretty quiet environment and a unique experience.

I went to Bar Martha last night and really enjoyed it. Great atmosphere and vibe, great music selection mostly played off of vinyl. Very strict policy of no picture taking. A couple got throughly ripped by the DJ when he spotted them. They were forced to settle bill and leave immediately.
Great place with cool McIntosh amps and vinyl collection.

Tokyo
Shibuya
B'2nd - theres nothing to see here tbh its pretty much a waste of time
ID Clothing Heart - if you want to see like maruyama or julius this could be ok
Midwest - i dont know this store
Royal Flash - this is cool to look at, there is a hidden elevator to the third floor which is nice to look at
bedrock the concept alone is worth looking at
Harajuku
LHP - also not worth looking at unless you want to see julius but its better to look at it at isetan or julius flagship
Studious - no comment but this isnt really SZ clothes
Daikanyama
Attachment - this is ok to look at
Gullam - no comment but I guess worth looking at.

Lift - good time to go to lift right now
Lift Ecru - same goes for mini lift

Ebisu
The Viridi-Anne - I dont think there is anything here to see unless you want to see the interior, everything is in isetan and lift
Meguro
Venom/ Diet Butcher Slim Skin - is this still up?
Aoyama
Rick Owens - I would go to say hi to Satoru and the store itself is very beautiful.

dont waste your time looking at clothes in kyoto go do something better than that.
Osaka
Minami

Royal Flash - no need to go here.
Rule 1588 - idk what this is
The R - Julius and other visual kei clothing, owner kiba san is very nice guy, much respect.
Why are you here? - idk what this is
AYIN store with the most BBS in japan
24/8 JP for the ladies

is DSM worth a visit? - yes 100%

Agree with Trigger from the limited knowledge I have. Honestly, though, don't limit yourself to core SZ brands. The Comme des Garcons and Yohji flagships in Aoyama are a must. DSM only if you have the time, and so are the Undercover and Sacai flagships. At Isetan not only clothes but the incredible food court and Japanese ceramics. In Daikanyama the T-Site is a must for books, and stop for a coffee at Saturday's Surf, have it in their back yard.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Like for example the clothes in royal flash is pretty visual kei and sort of trashy rock and roll but the store concept and the visual displays are really nice. Especially bedrock and royal flash, for having its own flair and taste which is real nice. Attachment, LHP, studious, B 2nd for example all have extremely generic interiors. Royal flash, B 2nd and lhp are the same super conglomerate as well (ueno shokai) . I'm not even sure what makes up the B 2nd market I guess people who want to wear guidis with Robert geller and backlash leathers?Originally posted by unwashedTry to use a phone camera in broad daylight or use a proper camera.Originally posted by AhimsaI've found it extremely pleasant and enthralling over repeated whiffs so I would highly recommend.

thanks gents, appreciate the advice! majority of the store list is from brand stockist info (TVA, Devoa, etc.), honestly just Lift and Isetan would probably satisfy the shopping itch so we can do more interesting things there haha.
the missus and I will in Tokyo/Kyoto/Nara/Osaka for 2 weeks from mid-November (escaping the US for the Thanksgiving period has become a regular tradition it seems).

also fascinate would be nice for you.
If i were you, I would do Royal Flash/Besdrock just to see some japanese fashion and some craziness. then check out LIFT/Gullam(because its super close to lift) Isetan
and then in Osaka just take a couple of min to go to Fascinate and 24/8 if you like.Originally posted by unwashedTry to use a phone camera in broad daylight or use a proper camera.Originally posted by AhimsaI've found it extremely pleasant and enthralling over repeated whiffs so I would highly recommend.
