Osaka, I recommend an American owned Rock bar called "Cherry Bomb" in Shinsaibashi, near Namba.
I imagine if you're going to Osaka, you'll hit up Namba, because the new IH store is close by, along with Hinoya, and a couple of other stops I can't name off the top of my head after a few beers.
Thanks. Unfortunately we'll miss taco Tuesday but as we probably will be in Namba I'll check it out.

That's terrible, because the fish tacos are amazing!

Is Iron Heart Hachioji the only branch near Tokyo or is a IH Shop direct in Tokyo? Don’t know if I wanna go to Hachioji again in my next trip. It was a fun bus ride tho…
Places I liked in Tokyo:
Iron Heart Hachioji
Full Count Harajuku
Warehouse Ebisu
Junky Special Shinjuku
Supreme/Neighborhood Harajuku
All the Vintage Shops in Harajuku3x Hinoya and 610 Americana in Ueno are ok, too crowded for my liking.
Vegan Food:
Ts Tan Tan
Ain Soph Ripple
Afuri
Mr Farmer
Pickled Plum Onigiri at 7/11Went to SDA and RMC in Osaka so no mentioning in my Tokyo List...

No Iron Heart shop in central Tokyo, I am afraid…
If you go to Hachioji, I would not go by bus....

Japanese Baseball is amazing! So much co-ordination, activity, and general buzz from the crowd. 3.5 hours of non-stop 'things' for players and runs etc. Goes SO far beyond the rally cap/sweep traditions.
Worth going to for anyone in Japan up for an experience, don't even need to like the game! (but it'll help).
http://www.japanball.com/tickets.htm is where I got our tickets from, delivered to the hotel.
The Seibu Lions were my favorite team back in the early to mid-80’s. My mom hated my Lions baseball cap for some reason and always hid it from me. Last time I went to a Japanese ball game was in 2000 or thereabouts. I think my ex and I saw the Yomiuri Giants and the Chunichi Dragons I think

Going to Japan for the first time with trips to Osaka and Kyoto. Already have some shopping spots planned out but hoping for some recommendations for anything else. Food, attractions, etc. I understand it's easily to look stuff up but I'd love to hear your opinions on what's worth it or what's not. Great appreciated.
Also does the IH stores have different stock then what's available to IHUK's website? Curious.

Anyone happen to know of any good vintage / second hand stores that carry Japanese clothing? When I went years ago I found most were littered with vintage Americana / Harley tees.
