Things to do in Tokyo, Kanto: The Best Shopping

November 4, 2021 Alida England

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

SEIBU IKEBUKURO Main Store

In addition to its high-quality luxury goods, this department store also has the largest food hall in Tokyo, with two floors of dining. There's also a Claude Monet-inspired rooftop garden.

Reviewed By RayParks - Adelaide, Australia

On the wall of the underground passage to Seibu Department Store, we noticed a large advertisement of a roof top garden park on Level 9. It had a few food stalls and tables. There was also a garden shop. At the end of the park there was a little pond surrounded by various plants including kangaroo paw!

Pokemon Mega Center Tokyo

This dream shop for Pokemon fans has merchandise, toys, and food and games, some of which you won’t find anywhere else. There are other Pokemon Centers around Tokyo; however, this one is the largest.

Reviewed By she-muff - Honolulu, United States

So much to see at this Pokémon center! It was hard to limit ourselves on what to buy. As a bonus, the new Pokemon Go center and Pikachu Sweets bakery are right next door, as is a mini Pokémon arcade and soft play area. The whole area is a must for anyone who loves Pokémon!

Sunshine City

This shopping and entertainment complex is Tokyo's first city within a city, housing plenty of shops, restaurants, an aquarium, museum, planetarium, and indoor theme parks, plus a hotel and offices.

Reviewed By ChangChris

For a tourist, this place itself has many things to offer that could easily take up one or even two days out of your itinerary (namja town, poke center, etc) unless you're not very keen in anime/ pokemon/ shopping. The place is huge and easily accessible by public transport. it's located in a busy place, so you can always walk out of the mall and onto the streets filled with mini games and anime. Try not to go after 8pm as most stores surrounding the mall will be closed and you won't have enough time to explore around.
