After Thursday night some people still need to buy gear so will be going again.
Thursday
Ogawamachi London Sports
Not as cheap as before (!!??). Down jackets used to be 3,500en or less and now 6,000en (but good).
Some good jackets - rain/wind wear but not cheap at 9,000en. But still cheaper than outdoor shop ones.
Sakaiya has some sleeping bags on sale. Best one I saw was small shop in Ochanomizu. A -18C Isuka down sleeping bag for 25,000en. Its older model but ok.
ICI sports - crap... waste of time.
We went to Aroina tabeta cheap Thai restaurant in Yurakucho - good.
Food and drink= 1,550en/person.
Friday
Start Okachimachi on the Yamanote like next to Akihabara.

Okachimachi
ODBox - check sale items (boots, sleeping bag). Mat and waterproof clothing.
Near ODbox - check London Sports for boots, down jackets and fleeces.
Also other discount shops near there and Uniqulo sale (thermals, fleece, down jackets)
Maybe go to Nippin in Akihabara or just go direct to Nippin in Ochanomizu area. Check Mizuno rainwear and also Sakaiya outlet clothing.
Shops close at 8pm so we need to be in Ochanomizu area before 7pm.
