Teen Gothic

Idk if anyone will know the answer to this, but I'm curious about being goth in Japan. I'm going to study abroad next semester and am unsure of what to expect. I'm very basic in my goth attire, with black and red clothing, generally skin covered. I wear dark makeup too.

Also curious if there's any sort of goth hot spot in Japan.

Anyways if anyone has any insight I would appreciate it.

I recently found out that my husband is getting relocated to Japan for 3 years and we will be moving August just outside of Tokyo. Japan will be a super cultural shock and I don't really know much of any Japanese (I am studying currently)

​

I was just hoping if there were anyone in this sub in Japan you would be more helpful to me goth scene wise. I know there are a lot of Gothic Lolita shops but outside of that IDK what there is.

​

I also am visibly goth with piercings and tattoos moving to Japan… so people might be scared 🤷‍♀️ But I have delt with 90s goth harrassment in NYC so… idk how much worse it could be from that 🤷‍♀️

​

Any advice would be great. Japan has always been on my bucket list as I love Anime, Japanese food, sushi, Matcha, some J-rock etc. But I am also very nervous about the culture shock.
