Shopping in Tokyo

Tokyo is many things to visitors: dynamic, historic, cutting-edge, traditional. Yet whether it's a shop-till-you-drop spree or finding that unique, only in Japan item to take home, all can agree: Tokyo is a shopper's paradise.

Browse the sophisticated, modern boulevard boutiques of Omotesando, Yurakucho and the world famous Ginza for authentic, top-quality brand items. Electronics of every make and model are to be found in Akihabara – internationally recognized for its vast selection and amazing prices!

Head to Shibuya, the vibrant centre of a youth-culture that has swept Asia and the world, to check out the next big thing. Or go just down the road to the ever changing Harajuku to grab the latest from some of Japan's top designers.

Tokyo can suit any shopping budget or need. Visit one of the many 100 yen shops and be amazed at the selection on offer! Sunday flea markets are a great way to find those hidden gems or antiques. Famous Markets include Harajuku's Togo Shrine, Nogi Shrine in Nogizaka, Hanazono Shrine in Shinjuku and the Yoyogi Park Flea Market.

Shoppers love the convenient shopping hours (10am to 8pm at most stores, including national holidays and Sundays), the tax inclusive pricing (only 5%) and the commitment to customer service that you'll find everywhere no matter where you go or what you buy.

Enjoy!
