Smile Things to buy in Japan - 12-29-2010, 10:08 PM

Hey there,
I am visiting Tokyo in Mar and would like to know if there's anything interesting to get which I can't buy in England or too expensive? Something quirky?? Any ladies shopping companion out there?

I could fill a library with the lists of things you can buy in Tokyo you can't find in England.

Hmmm, things like good luck items from shrines, manga in its original Japanese, tinned bread.... but really, like MMM said, the list goes on and on

When you get there, if you see something you haven't seen before, that would be the first item on said "list"....

I dont want to sound mean, but, what kind of request is that? You've done enough research to find this forum. Please go to JList.com for a bunch of items from Japan.

I would rather keep the fun of finding the differences to myself than being given a list before I even go.
