I'd heard so much about MEGA Don Quijote in Shibuya. Some people said it was chaotic, others said it was a must-visit, and a few claimed it was overwhelming in the best way possible. There was no way I was not going to visit when I was staying in Shibuya. Honestly, you have to experience it at least once for yourself.
I recommend taking advantage of your jet lag and going very early. It is not crowded at all and you can easily walk through the aisles without worrying about being back-to-back with a stranger, haha.

When people say this place has everything, they really mean EVERYTHING. Seven floors of pure temptation...snacks, cosmetics, kitchenware, electronics, anime merch, souvenirs, daily necessities, you name it. I felt like I needed a game plan just to make it out alive, but in the best way.

Honestly? Surprisingly good. This is the spot if you want a one-stop shop in Tokyo. A lot of items were cheaper than in airport shops, department stores, and even some smaller markets. I especially appreciated the tax-free option, which is super convenient if you're a tourist.
I did see that other stores are slightly cheaper when it comes to cosmetics and skin care, like Matsumoto Kiyoshi Pharmacy, but if you are the type that just wants to knock everything out of the way in one store, do it! Not everything is "bargain-bin cheap," but for Shibuya, the value is solid.

Staff were kind and efficient. Checking out was straightforward, and the tax-free counter was organized and quick. I appreciated how carefully and organized they packed everything into the tax-free bags.

Each floor feels like its own world, and honestly, the way everything is organized makes sense once you get the hang of it. It can feel a bit overwhelming with how much stuff there is to check out, but that's the charm about Mega Don Quixote. The bright signs, upbeat music, and rows of colorful products give it that classic Donki energy. It feels like stepping into a supercharged Tokyo convenience wonderland.
It's open 24/7, which is perfect if you get the urge to shop at 1 a.m.
I can't wait to go back when I visit Japan again someday!
