Shopping in Japan
In the U.S., we drive everywhere, and we don't have many opportunities to walk somewhere. I try to walk a mile a day, which is about 2,300 to 2,400 steps, and in Japan, it’s not unusual to walk that far in the morning. On a normal day, I walk about 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day.
Therefore, you should wear comfortable shoes for walking when you go to Japan. Some people might think it’s better just to buy shoes in Japan, but please note that the maximum shoe size in Japan is 28.5cm, which is a size 10.5 in U.S. standard sizes. So, it’ll be difficult to find shoes bigger than that.
As far as clothes sizing goes from small (S) to XXL in the U.S., but it’s different in Japan. The first three sizes of small (S), medium (M), and large (L) are the same, the sizes after that are LL and LLL. Also, keep in mind that Japanese sizes are actually one size smaller than standard U.S. sizes, even though we call them the same.
So, when shopping in Japan, please remember to check your size accordingly.
