AmericanConductor Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hello guys. I am a passenger train conductor in the U.S. and I will be visiting Tokyo next month. I was wondering where I could buy Japanese rail-related goods like lapel pins, keychains, t-shirts, uniforms, safety vests and the like. Do the big stations have gift shops or are there specialty stores I should check out? Link to comment
railsquid Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 There's a chain called "Karamatsu" which specialises in railway and bus paraphenalia of all types, see e.g. here: http://www.jnsforum.com/community/topic/10711-where-to-buy-a-tsurikawa-grab-ring-legally-in-tokyo/?p=124012 Link to comment

AmericanConductor Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I ended up visiting all 3 stores when I was in Tokyo. From best to worst, I'd rank them as follows: 1) Oimachi 2) Kanda 3) Shinjuku Oimachi seemed to have the most inventory, followed closely by Kanda. Shinjuku didn't have as much interesting stuff, probably due to the prime location. 3 Link to comment
