Review
Ni-chome, Shinjuku's gay district, offers not only a wide variety of LGBT-focused bars, restaurants and clubs, but also a plentiful selection of shops geared toward the rainbow crowd. Check and its sister store, the neighbouring Freeman, are some of the best of the bunch for hanky-panky paraphernalia: in addition to popular gay mag Badi, you'll find DVDs, adult toys and fetish underwear stacked on the shelves.
