This self-styled “Creative Life Store” aims to be a one-stop shop for all your retail needs and desires. The larger branches sell everything from outdoor camping equipment to animals and pet supplies, and you can often find more gimmicky items in its toys and electronics department (electronic beer dispensers and oddly-shaped sandwich toasters—that sort of thing). Free WIFI and tax-free services are available in most branches. In central Tokyo you can find branches in Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza, Ikebukuro, and Tokyo Station.

Wako

One of Ginza’s most famous department stores known for its clock tower. It is one of the oldest buildings in Ginza, having stood since 1932 when it was redesigned and reconstruction in the distinctive Neo-Renaissance style.

Yodobashi Camera Akiba

A 9-floor shopping complex, the first six floors of which are occupied by the electronics chain Yodobashi Camera. This branch is the biggest consumer electronics store in Japan (and maybe the world). There is a tax-free counter and English speaking staff are on hand. Heaven for gadget-lovers.

Shibuya 109

The Shibuya 109 department store has been leading the way in female fashion for the under 30s for the best part of four decades. Nowadays, it is associated with the gyaru (“girl”) sub-culture which sees young women dye their hair and attach fake eyelashes in search of an alternative Barbie-look.

Nakamise

A 250-meter long street that leads up to Sensoji Temple lined either side with stalls selling anything from Japanese sweets to Japanese swords and paper umbrellas. Nakamise is more than just a tourist trap—it is actually one of the oldest shopping streets in Japan.
