Donki Kingdom is another must go place to find your bargains while in Japan.

The Donki stores in Japan open almost 24 hours so you can play all you want in the day and go shop-til-you-drop after all the other stores are closed.

Or, if you happen to be jetlagging in the first few days, the Donki stores are also great places to go to burn some time and energy (or some cash!)

The storefront might look cluttered, but you can find almost anything - including the almost-impossible-to-get Hermes Birkin bags!

Even if you don’t plan on spending anything, paying the stores a visit or two will sure "amaze" you as much as going to an amusement park.

There are over 150 Donki stores across Japan, so why not come and feel the pleasure of bargain hunting while you are in Japan?

Shop list: http://www.donki.com/shop/index_en.php (some even include a duty-free shopping counter for visitors!)

My mother and I started the EGL Tours’ Japan trip on 21 April. At midnight we took the ANA flight to Tokyo International Airport, and after that, we got on a domestic flight to our first destination, Sennai River Bank, Noto Peninsula. When we arrived it was noon already,  our tour guide was really attentive that he arranged Japanese doraya for us before we played around. The beach there has a really long river bank, and actually I couldn’t see its end. It is a good reason for us to have a ride on the beach.

Those of you who are about the same age might recognize Heidi, the Girl of the Alps from your childhood memories. 

In Kobe, Japan, there is a theme restaurant featuring Heidi and her friends.  Besides locating right inside Rokkosan Pasture which provided the perfect setting for Heidi & co., it also provides food at great prices that a family can enjoy with ease - especially great for a family trip!

The Orange Tree store is located on the 6th floor of Fujimaru Department store in Obihiro City, Hokkaido.  It carries a complete line of products made with natural wood, adding my happy logo onto them - the result are environmentally friendly products that are both cute and practical.

Other than large pieces of furniture like bed, sofa and chairs, there are also smaller things like children’s toys, letter sets and utensils for you to choose from - so you don’t have to worry about running out of luggage rooms on your way back.

If you happen to be in Hokkaido, please be sure to come visit me!
