“Traveling to Japan in 2 days. I really want to buy clothing there. Will it be hard to find clothes that fit a US women’s 12? I’m expecting Uniqlo to have clothes, but anywhere else? Also, I’m 5’9.”

Finding clothes in size US women’s 12 in Japan can be a bit challenging because clothing sizes here are generally smaller. A good place to start is Uniqlo. They have a variety of sizes, and you might find something that fits. Another option is GU, which is similar to Uniqlo and also offers affordable prices. Shimamura is another store worth checking, though their sizes might be smaller.

If these stores don’t have your size, look for specialty shops that focus on larger sizes. However, there aren’t many of these stores, and they might be a bit more expensive. Online shopping can also be a great solution. Websites like Rakuten or Amazon Japan often have more size options. Always check the size charts, as they can vary significantly from US sizes.
