Tokyo Shopping Guide
Daikanyama

Aquvii
Many of the tchotchkes at this cozy shop have some sort of twist that makes them extra special: A pair of cute sunglasses turns out to be a vintage collectible; a simple coin purse unzips to reveal a wild lining.

Balcony
The way the feminine clothing—floral tunics, crochet dresses, chiffon tops—is informally draped over armoires and strung along stairway banisters mirrors the casual mood at this homey, bungalow-like spot.

Colour by Numbers
Within a futuristic, fluorescent-lit space, beautifully tailored pieces from Indie Japanese lines hang from racks made of heart-shaped chain links. The decor details are purposely incongruous: White marble floors mix with tricked-out '80s boom boxes, but somehow it all works.

Ikuko
Delicate underpinnings with a retro innocence, like Empire-waist gingham nightgowns, rose-print cotton robes, and sheer undies with lacing up the back, are Ikuko's specialty.

Kutsushitaya Friends

Nojess
Girliness is the key at Nojess, where it always feels like springtime: lacy dresses, velvety bed jackets, and bow-accented bags are evergreens.

Okura
Here, organic takes on classic Japanese garments are rendered in indigo-dyed fabrics, and the results are stunning in their simplicity. Even cooler: The shop itself is decorated with planks of driftwood salvaged from Tokyo Bay.

Q
Soaring, open, and filled with a glorious blend of lines from Europe (London's Hoxton Boutique, Madrid's Dorotea) and Asia (Hong Kong's Johanna Ho, Tokyo's Shinichiro Arakawa), this boutique is as aesthetically pleasing as it is fun to browse.

Tsumori Chisato
Chisato's playful designs, which often incorporate scalloped hems, color-blocking, and jumbled-up stripes, are nearly impossible to find in the U.S.—as a result, her retail stores have become popular destinations for European and American shoppers alike.
