Apologies if in wrong forum but I'm off to the above mentioned places in July and would love some gallery recommendations for while I'm over there.
Alternatively any other recommendations, been to Tokyo before but was 5/6 years ago and got the worst memory known to man.
Cheers

The galleries in general are tiny but there is some DFace in Harajuku plus local Graff writing all over the place. If you profile me look on recent threads you will see some pics I took of the work mainly in Harajuku
for street art there is a small gallery called the Kasuma Gallery but it is tiny lovely people. Have some nice works on the out side see pics in thread. nothing streetwise in bangkok but you can find Thai galleries. Phuket no galleries other than copy canvases.

Great island though.Make sure to take a day trip on a speedboat.
We went with this company and quite frankly it was the best day of the trip.Highly recommended.VERY safety conscious. Lots of complaints on Tripadvisor from dumb tourists complaining their day trip was cancelled due to bad weather...!!

Visit TOKYO ๐ฏ๐ต Japan Street Art, Galleries, Events, by Mirus Gallery Poesia on Feb 24, 2015 8:53:01 GMT 1, In 2002, Takashi Murakami founded the GEISAI art fair to help young artists showcase their work in a convention-style setting. After 14 years and 20 installments of the fair, Murakami and GEISAI have announced a new project for 2015 that will be take place at Kaikai Kikiโs Zingaro galleries in Nakano Broadway in Tokyo.
According to a press release from Kaikai Kiki, the galleries in Nakano Broadway welcome graffiti artists, street artists, and other "cross-genre creators" to exhibit their work. The exhibitions of the "GEISAIโInfinityโ" Project, co-curated by Murakami and Takumi โKasenyanโ Kaseno of the GEISAI executive committee, will focus on the "creative release artists experience when they abandon the contextual emphasis of contemporary artโ."

I'm aware of HHH Gallery in Tokyo, and i'd like to see if there were more (which i'm sure there are). However, I'm mainly interested in galleries in the South of Japan (the biggest city near me is Fukuoka). Know of any?

Do you have any tips about the best neighborhoods to discover street art in Tokyo / other cities in Japan? Do you know some blogs, Facebook page or Instagram page that I should follow? Anyone here leaving there?
Thank you in advance for your support.

There's a murakami cafe at or near the latter though I didn't visit the last time I was there. If you walk around the harjuku area, which is a hip shopping neighbourhood, there is also plenty of street art to see.
For food, there are plenty of ramen places around and you will be able to find some good ones by googling, but expect long queues for popular joints. Of all the museums, I found the tokyo edo museum the most interesting for its depiction on tokyo's history.

www.japan-guide.com/
Cuisine-wise, there are so many Michelin-starred restaurants in both cities. I'd highly recommend visiting a Kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto. Reservation
Here's a link for Ramen restaurants in Tokyo. I'd recommend Kikanbo.
luckypeach.com/guides/the-five-ramen-shops-you-can-and-should-visit-in-tokyo/
If you're obsessed about Ramen like I am, the Ramen Museum in Yokohama is a great place to go. There are many ramen restaurants with different styles, housed in this museum. It's a short train ride south from Tokyo.
Sushi Dai at Tsukiji Market is a great place, but the line is damn excruciating....
If you're going before the 27th, there's a Grand Sumo tournament going on in Tokyo.
In Kyoto, I'd recommend hanging out around Gion near sunset. You'll be able to see many Geishas walking about around then. Also, I highly recommend visiting Nara, which is a short train ride south from Kyoto. And the Fushimi Inari Shrine is not to missed - rows and rows of toriis, which you've probably seen in photos and films.
Hope that helps and you have a great time.
