Man, Dollar Tree and discounts stores in the U.S. have got NOTHING on Don Quijote.
If you've ever passed this weird penguin next to a gigantic store around different prefectures in Japan, you better backtrack and go in because you'll never get an experience like this any where else in the world.
Every Don Quijote in Japan (there are A BUNCH OF THEM) is filled with floors and floors of cheap electronics, household supplies, clothes, food, and more! My girlfriend and I went into the one in Akihabara more just to walk around and explore, but we found ourselves going back again and again to different branches just to buy cheap stuff.
Whether you're looking for rare Japanese snacks you'll have to import in the states for $$, or if you're looking for slippers, cheap electronics, or 18+ toys (yea I'm looking at you!), Don Quijote will have them for a very low cost. They even have tax-free discounts if you show your passports. Don't worry, they won't remember if you buy that sex toy. My favorite purchase from Don Quijote had to be the chocolate. They have like 10 different types of Kit-Kat Bars. Usually in America, we can only find the matcha ones. Here in Japan, you have strawberry-flavored ones and even sake-flavored ones!
Don Quijote was definitely one of the most memorable parts of Japan. When you're in this beautiful country, you gotta shop and this is one of the best places to do so! I give the one in Akihabara an "Omg, I'd travel 2 hours for this" rating.
Shop well and prosper,
