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?

Other than MUJI, Uniqlo is another popular brand where you will find stores around the world, from London to New York, from Taiwan to China, but just like Muji, the most extensive product range can only be found in Japan!

Uniqlo tries to offer high quality products at reasonable prices to customers, allowing them to create their own personal style via their product offerings.

Uniqlo has also made some special edition kids tee with my faces on it - not only they are high in quality, they are actually very economical too!  If you happens to be in Japan, be sure to check out the shelves and see if you can spot the latest collaboration shirts at Uniqlo.

Other than fashion accessories, Uniqlo in Japan also provide bedding, bath items and furniture - all in soothing earth tone just like Muji’s that many can’t resist.

Although there are MUJI stores in London, New York and many cities in Asia, the Muji shops in Japan provide the most extensive selection of "No Brand Quality Goods" which make it another must-go destination for those who are visiting Japan.

Muji’s philosophy is to provide new simple products at reasonable prices without branding - pretty much like our NoFrills or NoBrand name goods we found at our local supermarket, only in even higher quality.

With its earth tone and simple designed offerings, Muji’s products provide customers with a sense of calm and comfort, and are well received by many around the world.  Other than the usual home appliances, clothing, stationary, snacks offered at Muji stores around the world, Muji stores in Japan went a few steps further and provide high quality flowers, nutritious meals, and even a few campsites for Muji fans to enjoy the great outdoors!

There are tons of Muji stores around Japan, to find one near where you will be visiting, click here.  Happy Shopping!

Shopping in Japan won’t be complete without a trip to the ever famous Burberry Blue Label stores.

BBL is a sub-line of the famous Burberry brand from London, featuring goods with simple cutting yet with a hint of elegance and youthfulness.  With pricing set lower than its parent line, BBL is more affordable and well received by many users for the past few years.
