A Thing or Two with Claire and Erica

Our Most Enthusiastic Tokyo and Kyoto Recs—and How to Shop The RealReal


Listen Later

Taking a vacation to Japan is overwhelming. Sharing travel picks is overwhelming. Shopping online consignment is overwhelming. But you know what? We went ahead and tackled it all here, and we’re pretty proud of ourselves, thanks.

 

The linkage:

For Claire, true RealReal browsing is all about the app. But there is, of course, also a (slightly less addictive) website.

Another online consignment shop to check out: Luxury Garage Sale.

Why not set sale alerts for your go-to brands on ShopStyle, too? 

Our six Tokyo picks! A Yomiuri Giants baseball game, the Yanaka neighborhood for wandering around, Gyoza Ro for dumplings, Mikawa Zezankyo for an outrageous tempura dinner (that you can book on OpenTable), Hakusan Porcelain for truly stunning ceramics, and Kappabashi Shopping District for the restaurant-supply shops (including Kamata knife shop) that will have you thinking about buying another suitcase.

What we loved in Kyoto! Kyoto International Manga Museum for an anime deep-dive (which turned Claire onto the Nana series), Kyomachiya Hotel Shiki Juraku, the Kitano Tenmangu shrine monthly flea market (on the 25th of the month), the 550-year-old soba restaurant Owariya (aside: Try Cocoron in NYC, too), and Shoraian Tofu Restaurant for lunch in the bamboo forest.

A cheat rec (in a good way): the *art island* Naoshima and the Benesse House Museum, where you can also stay.

Try the very buzzy Biossance Squalane + Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum—and get 20% off with the code ATHINGORTWO20.

YAY.
