Yeah I was going to mention the Burton store - a visually stunning store!

Also - and more difficult to get to is the area where there is a WHOLE bunch, which might be what you are thinking of, details here http://www.nisekoz.com/tokyoshops.html

Head to the Kanda region it has a street dedicated to sporting and snow shops. It has around 10 snow stores in the one area. One snowboard store I went into was around 6 levels as well. It’s near Akihabara

Edit: Just checked and the link Oz gave is what I was talking about.

IMO the best areas of Tokyo at night are:

Shinjuku (has lots of subsections i.e Piss Alley, Golden Gai, Kabukicho), Shibuya and Ikebukuro. Harajuku is also good for food and Ginza lit up is impressive but not really a night life spot. I’m not a big fan but you might enjoy Roppongi which is a popular night spot for tourists/expats.

Glad to hear you enjoyed. Yeah it will be the same in kabukicho. You’re just best off ignoring the Nigerians completely nothing good will come from them. I always find it funny walking through the red light districts as a single male traveller. The Nigerians act like they are my best friend but the Japanese door men pretend I’m not there (they target wealthy/drunk japanese)
