Favorite Places to Shop in Japan

100 yen stores

You can find chopsticks, to hair accesories to Japanese sweets and various traditional Japanese souveniers. 100 yen stores are equivilent to our australian 2 dollar shops. a hundred yen equals about $1.50 here so everything is cheap. But that said, you can find almost anything there and most 100 yen stores have many items of great quality and are definatly not "tacky".

Ginza

With over 6 major department stores, you will definatley find what you need in Ginza. Ginza also has a massive Sony building, and a Kabuki theater! I love Kabuki :)

Shinjuku

Outrageous fashion, amazing gadgets, and the latest fashion brands are all here. If you're a shopoholic this is the place for you :)

Takeshita St Harajuku

Amazing market style shops with inexpensive fashion and some crazy fads to go along with it. It's just not Japan if it's not quirky :)

Shibuya

Lights, camera, action. It's just a happening place with amazing items to buy. :)
