Niko and Tokyo

Nico and Tokyo is one of the coolest apparel and interior stores that I have seen in Tokyo. On the first floor they also have a café called Nico and coffee which is packed with free Wi-​Fi and outlets on every seat. The review for this can be found on it’s separate business page called Nico and coffee.
The entire store has a Oregon Portland feel to it. Meaning lots of wood, American-​apparel like clothing, plants, Bike related goods, handcrafted leather bags, and hippie style interior goods.
I personally felt that most of the things here were expensice, but in their defense they did have a good selection of products that cant be found elsewhere. For example, there was a large iPhone accessories section which had a good number of things that you would only find in kickstarter like the key chain lightning cable or the lightning cable that also functions as a iPhone stand.
Another cool thing about this place is that they have the Softbank robot called pepper that greets you at the entrance. The touchscreen doesn’t work so you’ll have to talk to it, probably in Japanese, but I was really impressed by how well made it was.
Also they have really cheap rental bikes here. You can borrow a bike for three hours at a time for ¥1000! If you’re planning to go check out The Shibuya Harajuku Area, this’ll make it so much easier for you.
In general I totally recommend checking this place out! Even if you aren’t planning to buy anything, it’s a good place to be inspired for decorating your house, talking to pepper, or doing work at the café.

Officially, my favorite clothing store in Tokyo. The décor is very woodsy chic, think higher-​end Urban Outfitters. The first floor has trinkets (great for souvenirs), men’s clothing and shoes, and the café. The second floor has furniture, women’s clothing and shoes, and the bathroom. (There’s a bathroom on the second floor. Take the door next to the sofas, it’s outside the main store.)
Sure it’s more commercial than some of the small shops on Cat Street, but there are solidly great deals and high quality products! The clothing is Japanese chic. There are a hefty amount of basic tops and bottoms, with a healthy dose of more signature items. I suppose the best way to describe it is J Crew and Gap meets Japan.
I also can’t get over how amazing the service is, not just in Niko and., but also in clothing stores in Japan in general. I ended up getting a pair of wingtip rain shoes from London, a pair of J Crew-​esque rain boots from Singapore, and a pair of Birkenstocks. I definitely could’ve bought clothing too, if I weren’t too lazy to go to the changing room.
PS. They also do tax-​free (given that you meet the minimum amount spent at the store).
