Where to buy On Cloud shoes?

With the exception of their flagship store, what other stores sell them? The flagship store only does appointments, it's a long wait and they close early hence the terribly low ratings.

Check out ABC-Mart or Atmos. They usually stock On Cloud. Otherwise, On's website might have a store locator.

Volunteering at a Japanese kindergarten is awesome! You'll probably be fine with your basic phrases. Kids are pretty universally forgiving. Biggest thing is probably bowing – aim for a slight bow, not a full-on 90-degree one unless someone very senior is greeting you. Don't be afraid to use gestures; a smile and a pointing finger at a picture book goes a long way. Also, be mindful of taking photos or videos of the kids – get permission from the staff beforehand. It’s a little more formal than you might be used to. Expect a lot of formality with the staff; even if they're super friendly, keep the interactions polite and respectful. Small gifts (like nice stationery for the teachers) are usually appreciated, but that's not essential. Have fun! The cuteness will overwhelm you, I guarantee it. And if you accidentally say something weird, just smile and apologize (すみません, sumimasen). They’ll understand.
