Looking to buy new denim and jeans. Traveling to Japan soon ... should I wait until I go there?
Don’t go to Okayama specifically for shopping unless you’re dead set on going to the main store for a given brand. Most have branches in Tokyo, where I assume you will be going.
Kojima Jeans Street http://jeans-street.com/smp/ (which is probably what you’re after) is kind of a pain in the ass from Okayama, at least 45 minutes each way. The Momotaro main store is by the Okayama station, but unless you’re dying to go to Koraku-en or something, save yourself some time and energy.
