excessive downtime, the vast majority of shoppers in Ginza and Shinjuku are women and the stores reflect and cater to them...how many shoe stores does a city need? Cellphone penetration is extremely high, not
unusual to have >2 mobiles.
Catnaps on the train are common, heated cushioned seats and smooth rides make
it all the more accomodating.
Shoppers, especiallywomen love Louis
Vuitton products--from handbags, umbrellas, hats, etc.
I'll say over 90% of Tokyo women have some hair coloring done, while the number for men is alarmingly high as well. Was told that since hair coloring is seen as a rite of passage as it is prohibited when attending school. It is more uncommon to see a Japanese adult with his/her natural hair color.
