Things to buy in Japan
 

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

don't forget the giga pudding!

pls gimme the list then....thx

what is tinned bread?

I don't think you are understanding what I am saying.

Okay, bear with me here....

Tinned bread..... is.....
...

Bread in a tin :D

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.

Go out to Shibuya 109 for an hour or two. I broswed through all the floors when I was there and found MILLIONS of things I couldn't find out here in Canada. Their fashion sense is very different. And quite fun too! :3

Also Purikuras and UFOs' can sometimes be exclusive to Japan. I know there aren't any like that out here~

Japanese clothes and shoes and bags and accessories
Strawberry kitkat, strawberry cheetos, strawberry oreos chocolate bars and a whole lot of candies and chocolates!!!
Poppin cookin'
Konapun
Japanese brand cosmetics

If it were me, I'd go for pocky, as around here they only have chocolate and strawberry. Also, I want to find those cool drinks with the marble that I keep hearing about. Snacks is first on MY list xD

And I want to get anime merch. I'm such a geek :mtongue:

when you get there...
 

Ask around if you can buy a list with things sold exclusivly in Japan. I apologize if it sounds mean but i'm sure that you can find at least one thing in every store you enter. Good luck

:D That's gold.

But seriously, I visited friends in London while living in Japan and took a bunch of stuff from the 100 yen shop that I had never seen in any other country. I wrapped each item in Japanese newspaper.
When I gave them their gifts they were fascinated by the newspaper. Some of them even made me promise to send a couple of pristine newspapers over to London once I got back to Japan. Ones that they couldn't buy in London, just so it was even more mysterious.
