Japan Vintage & Secondhand Menswear Shops for suits and blazers (Tokyo, Kyoto, Gifu, Kanazawa)
I'm headed to Japan in two weeks and will spend a lot of time around Tokyo, Kyoto, Kanazawa, and in the Gifu/Nagoya area. I have enough time in each city to be able to travel around so not worried about particular neighborhoods as long as it's not an hour out from city center.
I've been to Japan before and know there is an insane density of great secondhand and vintage shops, but wanted to see if any folks have any specific recs for spots where I could find nice suits or blazers secondhand. Open to both Japanese companies or western/Italian tailoring if it's available secondhand - just looking to replace some suits and blazers for work and for fun. Wider lapels, pleats, fuller cut trousers, etc.
I'm looking in Japan mostly out of convenience - I have a packed January with work where I'll need some blazers and just happen to be in Japan for the next few weeks
For budget, I would just like to stay under $500ish for suits and $300ish per blazer, and I'm assuming I can find both for a good bit cheaper than that
Appreciate any and all recs!

Denim recommendation - relaxed straight fit
I have some great jeans I wear more casually (this style) but I'm looking for a pair that's a bit more elegant looking and dressier. Nothing slubby or neppy, nothing too heritage inspired, but a nice slightly relaxed straight fit that I could in theory wear with a blazer as well. Would prefer a darker wash and solid color but doesn't need to be "raw" proper. Selvedge is cool but not necessary.
I definitely like a natural to higher rise denim, looser in the top block, but could either do straight all the way down or even a slight taper. I'm graduating from informale je19s which are perfect in many ways but a bit too tapered for my preferences now.
I was looking at orslow 100 and 101s, but stock is an issue and I haven't been able to try them on in person yet.
Ideal budget is less than $300 but can flex for the right pair.
Any recommendations?
