Is it o/k for people to wear shorts in Tokyo and Japanese cities or is considered to be bad dress code.

Mari Takahashi, Living in Japan

It's no problem to wear shorts in cities. (Many people wear shorts in summer... summer in Tokyo is so hot!) Though, we don't allow wearing shorts or sandals in business scenes usually. If you are going to nice restaurants or traditional places, it's safer to cover your legs.

whats the cheapest fashion district in tokyo?

Mari Takahashi, Living in Japan

I guess it might be Harajuku, especially in Takeshita Street. Those are mainly for teenage girls, but sometimes have clothes follow the trend from some hundred yen. Or hit Shibuya and visit fast fashion stores; H&M, Forever21, ZARA, Uniqlo, GAP, etc. Shimamura is another great place to find cheap...
