This shopping spree is absolutely worth it – the prices here are unbeatable compared to back home! Imagine saving a whopping 2k on the same pair of shoes I bought in China two years ago. The only catch? Those never-ending queues that test your patience. But here’s the silver lining: the exceptional service makes every minute in line worthwhile.

I barely scratched the surface of what’s available – so many stores left unexplored! At Daimaru, shopping gets even better with many shops offering instant tax refunds, though some require a quick trip to the 9th floor for processing. Either way, it’s incredibly convenient.

Tokyo, get ready – I’m coming back for round two of retail therapy!






I totally get the appeal now! Those discounts are insane, but I’d still need serious willpower to avoid overspending. Would love to explore more of those hidden gems next time. Queues aside, Osaka feels like a shopper’s paradise!
