Visit Sanjuusangendo (or San Juu San Gendo if you wanna anglicise it 'properly') in Kyoto. I can't remember where it is exactly, but it has an unbelievably awesome set of statues.

Also Asakusa temple in Tokyo. It has like, it's own district, and train station, so just look for that line.

And Harajuku. Despite what you hear about maid's outfits, wedding dresses and dominatrix leather gear (which is all more than completely true, btw) it actually has some unbelievably awesome normal clothes too.

What's wrong with maid outfits and dominatrix leather gear? ;P

Thanks for the hints :-)

Dude, there is nothing, and I stress nothing, wrong with maids and dominatrixes. I was just pointing out that in addition to those, there are also normal clothes, lol.

Highlight of my time there had to be this chick walking down the road in an honest to god wedding dress, complete with bouquet and elbow-length gloves. To a pot-affected mind, seeing that coming through this relatively normal street was a MASSIVE 'wtf'.

Haha, awesome. Also, dominatrices. ;)
