    Business trip to Osaka in Summer What to wear?

    You have an Osakan mindset indeed when you consider Tokyo a "surrounding city" of Osaka. FTFY.

    Tokyo suggestions

    It's probably worth wandering around Harajuku - lots of interesting small shops in the area - check out Cat Street, for example.
