Shopping in Tokyo
It’s not all Prada and Louis Vuitton, there are plenty of fun and cheap places to be a consumer in Tokyo.
Harajuku is a good place for vintage (ie. used) clothing. You can try out Kinji or Mirror in Harajuku, stroll down the road to Bingo in Shibuya or head to nearby Shimokitazawa.
For a taste of ye olde Tokyo, fill your boots at Ameyokocho Market in Ueno. Don Quijote with stores everywhere is another cheapo shopping experience you shouldn’t miss.
And if you prefer to do your shopping online, Buyee is a good place to start.
