On our second day in Tokyo, Edmund and I skipped the tour to Tokyo Disneyland and just went exploring around the hotel.
A friend of mine who frequents Japan told me about this shopping chain called Don Quijote. I asked the hotel concierge where it is, and luckily there’s one very near our hotel just across the train station.
So here it is,
Edmund spent at least 15 minutes shopping for a cap
Don Quijote has 7 small floors, which is actually better because it’s easy to find your companion.
Why do they have to over-emphasize the SIZE? Mahalay.
They don’t look sexy at all, parang picture ng mga nakahilerang canyon.
My first and second impressions that everything is expensive in Japan is wrong. We found so many cheap things but of good quality. Like this pair of shoes. made in Japan yan and only P2,450. Di ba sobrang mura?
Call me crazy, maybe maybe, but I bought this two packs of floral-designed toilet papers. Biglang sumikip yung maleta namin.
I was so curious but the only English on the packaging is Catch Fat, and Wow Wow Wow.
There are so many interesting gadgets but I couldn’t figure out what the products are for. There are no English labels.
At first I thought this is something that moves, alam mo na. yun pala lighter.
There are a few bottles of vintage Dom Perignon in the locked escaparate.
The 6th and 7th floors are for expensive branded items. They have both pre-owned and brand new items like this Louis Vuitton handbags.
Cougar ladies?
I forgot how much this sells for at the LV store in Greenbelt. They have a black on display. If I remember it right it’s P180,000++
Don Quijote has a few original Hermes Birkin handbags. No fake merchandise here.
Is this for ladies? What’s the purpose? I can’ understand, there’s no English label
What? For men?
Shopping in Tokyo, and I think anywhere in Japan in general, is so much fun. A lot of people have this impression that it’s expensive but it’s really not if you know where to go. There’s a lot of interesting items that we found so amusing since we didn’t have the slightest idea what they were for and we couldn’t read what’s on the package. We lived there for 4 years and we went all over the place. Hint for next time you go: The best bargains are in Ginza – the clearance items are on the top floors of most expensive department stores. Bring extra luggage 🙂
