The Largest Gregory Store in Japan Featuring Exclusive Items and Custom Services
Nearest Station
Founded in the United States in 1977, Gregory is a globally recognized outdoor brand. Among its many directly operated stores in Japan, "Gregory Harajuku" stands out as the largest flagship location. The store offers a full lineup ranging from professional mountaineering backpacks to casual, everyday models. It also carries Japan-exclusive and store-exclusive special editions. A popular attraction for customers is the free engraving service—held periodically—where visitors can stamp their initials onto a leather zipper pull, making it a memorable keepsake for travelers.

One of the main attractions of "Gregory Harajuku" is its extensive lineup, made possible by its spacious two-story layout. From technical models such as the ZULU and JADE series to lifestyle backpacks and travel bags, the store covers the entire Gregory range. For customers purchasing mountaineering gear, expert advice is essential—and the Harajuku store’s staff includes experienced climbers. They offer detailed, personalized guidance based on deep product knowledge, from fitting recommendations tailored to each body type and intended use, to suggestions on pack capacity and Gregory’s unique technical features. Multilingual staff are also available, providing service in English and Chinese (depending on staff availability).
A dedicated section features Gregory’s golf collection.
On the second floor, the lineup is focused on mountaineering. The walls are lined with colorful models by capacity.
Some of Gregory's past models are also on display. Only at the flagship store can you trace the transition of the logo.
There is also a golf item section in one corner, where golf bags and other items are sold.
Just like a specialized mountaineering shop, customers can test the fit of packs using training weights.
"Gregory Harajuku" also offers limited-edition items available only at directly operated stores. In the past, a special All-Black edition of the popular DAYPACK was released, constructed from five high-performance materials: X-PAC, 1680D/840D Cordura Ballistic Nylon, and 420D/500D Cordura Nylon. Exclusive models like these are planned for release approximately once per season. Even within the standard lineup, customers can find distinctive products unique to this store. For example, the CAMPUS DAY “Oshi Model” features a transparent acrylic front pocket that allows fans to display their favorite character goods—an item that embodies Japanese pop culture.
The “All-Black” model combines multiple materials and features matching black leather zipper pulls.
The “CAMPUS DAY M Oshi Model” (¥19,800) features a clear front pocket for displaying goods or accessories.
Japan-exclusive items include a special tag marking their exclusivity.
For customers purchasing products, "Gregory Harajuku" occasionally hosts a free workshop where participants can engrave their initials onto a leather zipper pull. Using a small wooden mold and hammer, you can emboss letters directly into the leather to create an original piece. The finished zipper pull can be attached to your purchased bag or used separately as a keychain. Because availability may vary depending on materials and store conditions, please inquire in-store for details.
