From its green parks and cherry trees to the skyscrapers and busy streets, Tokyo, Japan is by far one of our favorite cities in the world.

Shopping in Tokyo is a fun experience, and does not have to be an expensive one. But where to shop and what to buy can be tricky in this huge city. Here are some tips for shopping like a pro in sparkling Tokyo.

Local Designers

Tokyo is in love with designer goods. If it’s your thing, you can get pre-loved used items, for as much as half the original price! Just look for big department stores offering second-hand designer pieces that have all the certificates to make sure they’re not fake.

Vintage

For those of you who are looking for cheap vintage outfits, Tokyo is the place to be. Vintage stores in Tokyo are amazing and smart shoppers can find cheap used clothes in perfect condition for just a few yens! Japanese fashionistas love shopping, and tiny Tokyo apartments don’t have a lot of closet space, so new vintage items arrive at the stores every day.

Fast Fashion

If you are into fast fashion, check out Tokyo mega malls for a stylish and trendy new wardrobe. Check out Shibuya 109 or Ginza 6 for hot Japanese trends.
