A Walk Down Jeans Street: Visiting the Denim Capital of Japan
When most people plan their trips to Japan, Okayama is not typically on their itinerary. If you love Japanese Denim or just want to explore a quaint seaside neighborhood, Kojima is the place for you. Crowned the Denim Capital of Japan and home to the infamous Momotaro denim label, Kojima is a jean-lovers paradise. We loved walking around in this quiet town & stopping into little shops that caught our eye. We of course bought some incredible Japanese denim while we were there!
