Palace Skateboards:

A Must-Visit for Streetwear Fans

Tokyo is packed with great shopping, especially if you're into streetwear. And if brands like Supreme, Bape, and Stüssy are already on your radar, you’ll want to add Palace Skateboards to your list. Known for its bold graphics, cheeky attitude, and deep skate roots, Palace has built a strong following in Japan — and its Tokyo store in Omotesando is one of the best places to check out their latest releases, limited drops, and region-exclusive pieces.

Whether you're a longtime fan or just curious, the Tokyo outpost is well worth a stop — especially if you’re already exploring the Shibuya or Harajuku area.

The interior has the signature Palace look: concrete floors, a skateboard lined wall, and marbled accents. It’s clean, modern, and has just enough edge to remind you it’s still a skate brand at heart.

Inventory rotates regularly, and what’s in stock can vary by day — especially around new releases. If you’re hoping to score something specific, check Palace Japan’s official Instagram or website ahead of time to stay up to date on drop info.

Pro tip: If you're visiting on a release day (usually Saturdays), arrive early. The line typically forms along Omotesando Avenue, just past the Fendi store, so head straight there to secure your spot.

You don’t need to be a skater — or even a streetwear regular — to appreciate what Palace has to offer. The brand draws on everything from British pop culture and football nostalgia to high-fashion references and irreverent humor, making it more layered than it might appear at first glance. The Tokyo store captures that range through seasonal lookbooks, capsule drops, and standout collaborations with labels like C.P. Company, Engineered Garments, Gucci, and more.

Most recently, Palace also opened a second Japan location in Osaka and teamed up with the Hanshin Tigers, showing just how tuned in they are to Japanese culture and street style. If you can’t make it to either of these locations, they also have a small display in Dover Street Market Ginza where you can check out the latest collection.
