Advice:
Shopping in Tokyo, Japan
 |
I
am asked frequently about shopping in Japan. Specifically
where to shop in Tokyo.
Everyone
has their own favorite areas to shop and depending on your
taste, the good news is that each major city within Japan
has their own special style when it comes to shopping.
Please
bare in mind, shopping in Japan can be very costly.
|
Many
people who visit our pages are interested in Japanese fashion through
the magazines (please look at the links on the left) and through
Japanese television. From the cool haircuts to the cool clothing
and accessories, many hope to go to Tokyo and find these accessories,
clothing or just to be around the culture.
There
are so many cool places to shop in Japan, I guess if anything, take
your time to see the shops and see what shopping areas in Tokyo
that you prefer. Shinjuku (photo
above) is where a lot of the big fashion mall-like areas exist.
Some say that this section is more for the mature and rich but it's
a great place to visit for the spectacular view over Japan, to watch
movies (yes, nod your head when asked if you are a student), the
book shopping (Kinokuniya HQ is here) and of course the mall-like
buildings.
|
There
is Shibuya
(photo: Right), a trendy, popular and very crowded area that
many young people and people into contemporary J trends go
for their fashion and music needs. For fans of Japanese entertainment,
especially JPOP culture - You will love Shibuya!
In
fact, I wouldn't be surprised if many of you JPOP fanatics
spend all your money in this city.
It's
pretty cool but the inconvenience is how crowded the city
gets at night. It's a lively city that stays awake
|
 |
| very
late but when you ride that train back home, it's nearly
cheek to cheek with other people (yes, that crowded) and
not so great for the clausterphobics. |

Harajuku
is another section with many shops that you can find people of various
styles throughout the shopping district for the young and old.
Again,
this is another place for the J-ENT/JPOP fans to visit because of
how the area caters to Japanese entertainment and trends. What makes
Harajuku so different from the other cities is the fact that it's
not all about big buildings. It's like a big alley with shops on
the side. It's pretty cool and recommend checking the area out.

The
Fuji TV building and Tokyo Bay in Odaiba
Then
there is Odaiba which is growing.
You can find many shops for general shopping in this area. Also,
when visiting these areas, you will find a plethora of stores and
shopping sections in the train stations, so try not to spend all
your money in one place. Odaiba is where a lot of movies and dramas
(and television shows) are shot. It's also where the cool and large
Sega Joypolis indoor amusement center is located.
Since
these city areas are not too far from each other by train, you can
visit them all again later. So that's probably the best advice is
not to spend your money all in one place until you visit each section.
