My Open Book

The land of the rising sun is a place of beliefs and traditions, some that most tourists are not very used to. Visitors here would do well to merge as best as possible with the locals, and do the many of the activities that have grown well into the Japanese culture. Eat authentic Japanese ramen, try freshly cut exotic sushi, ride the bullet train and of course, splurge on shopping treats in this land of the rising sun!

Shopping in Japan is a very popular thing to do for travelers because of the amazing shopping that one can do in the country. And when you talk about shopping, you will invariably talk about one of the most famed shopping spot in the world – Tokyo! This capital city of Japan gives travelers everything and anything that you may need, and it is also very easy for travelers to shop here even without understanding Japanese because of the many districts in Tokyo that specializes in certain products.

Tech geeks would do well to plan a day-long trip into the Akihabara District, or as others would say, Geek-Heaven. This district is chock-full with tons of electronic shops offering various gadgets and tools only a true tech geek can appreciate. Akihabara has also become Tokyo’s very own center for gaming, manga and anime, and you can expect many stores selling modern and classical games, or even obsolete consoles such as the Atari or the Sega Saturn.

The Harajuku district, located around the Harajuku station, is the place to go if you want to see the latest in original Japanese fashion. Go in the weekend, where hundreds of teens gather in the area all dressed up in their respective individual tastes. What are they doing you may wonder? They are simply meeting up with their friends and showing off their personalities! They are also very open to being photographed, so travelers will invariably come here as well. To shop, head to Takeshita Dori or Takeshita Street, where you can find numerous fashionable shops and trendy boutiques along with used clothing stores.

Finally, one of the most well known shopping area in Tokyo is the Shinjuku region. This district, which is located within the surrounding area of Shinjuku Station, is filled with many shops and department stores. There are also many entertainment establishments that dot the district. Visitors can shop at huge subterranean malls and electronic shops. All in all, Tokyo is the place to be to experience true Harajuku fashion!
