Tokyo Shopping Tips by UKDaisy

Name of Shop: Nakamise Street

This street is lined with stalls selling snacks and souvenirs.
Once you've passed through this street, you'll get to the Asakusa Kannon Temple.
Try to look out for the giant sandal hanging outside the temple.

Directions: In Asakusa, near the Sumida River.

Name of Shop: Tokyu Hands

This is a multi-floored department store showcasing many funky and gadget-y Japanese goods. The goods are pretty expensive here, but browsing is free and the oooh value was good. I usually get cheaper versions of the goods sold here at a 100Yen shop.

This store shares the building with the Takashimaya Department Store.
