I'll be going to Tokyo in June. Does anyone know of any good skateboard only shops in the Tokyo area?

there are very few skakeboard only store in japan. most store are "action sports" shop that carry everything from skating to snowboard and surfing. surprisingly, the selection is usually as good as what you would find at your local core shop. nothing like Pacsun or shit like that. there's this Chain called Murasaki Sports that's pretty dope, it's all over japan and it's one of the only "official" sb retailer (so you can get SB at retail price, not resale). there's one in in Harajuku on Takeshita Dori, one in Shibuya and one in Kanda. there's this store in Shibuya right by the Apple store called Hawk that i quite like. other than that, go around Kanda station, there's like a millions outdoor store and quite a few snowboard/skateboard stores, some of them really dope. also, all sneaker store carry skate shoes like DC, Es, Vans Lakai etc. exept to pay a big premium on most products exept shoes and it's worse on hardware. if you want to find more core shop you'll have to leave to city center where you might find more in the suburbs. if you want to find more shop, go to a brand you like website and check the retailler finder, they usually have it in english. then make a list of the shop you want to visit and go. you might want to make sure you have a tokyo map and you understand how japanese address work though before you set out if you don't want to end up lost.
