SHOPPING IN JAPAN
Shopping is a fun thing to do while traveling. You can easily find both traditional items and the latest goods in Tokyo. There are many places you can shop inexpensively, such as 100yen shops and discount shops in the city.
Most stores are open weekends and holidays except some specialty stores. In Japan, you need to pay 5% consumption tax in addition to the price (as of July 2011). Japanese department stores are fun places to shop. They carry many kinds of traditional Japanese goods as well as the latest fashions. Food floors in department stores are called "depachika" and are filled with world gourmet food and Japanese regional specialties. If you want to buy trendy apparels, try to catch a bargain during the sales season. Typical store sales are held biannually from late June through July and from late December through mid January.
ENJOY!
