Those AX suits look nice, but are at the bottom of Armani's scale. I like their black label items myself
If you are going to buy suits, single breast types in navy are your best bet. Pinstripes are fine, as long as they are subdued. Suits in Japan are cut a little tighter, so they are closer fitting. If you are thin, that's okay, but if you aren't, or you are in any kind of physical shape, you'll find them tight in the elbows and knees.
It's best to buy suits at home, they will be cheaper, fit better, and be made of better materials than you'll find in Japan. You can get Armani suits here, but they are costly. I bought an Armani black label suit at Neiman Marcus in LA for $2995, the same suit in Ginza is 40 man yen, or about $4000.
Don't even think of wearing a white suit, unless you are getting married or are a guest host on a Japanese talk show.
