Souvenirs
If you are looking to buy some souvenirs then the Oriental Bazaar is the best place to visit. This is one-stop shop for stuff like kimonos, china, dolls, yukata, antiques, furniture and books on Japan. If pottery interests you then you should visit Kappabashi-dori. Here you will not only find pottery but almost everything related to the kitchen.
Fashion
For fashion lovers, do not look to buy European designer dresses while in Japan. Look for something by local designers which can be found at reasonable prices. Japanese designer products by Yohi Yamamoto and Issey Miyake are much cheaper in Japan than elsewhere. Both companies have stores in Miyuki Dori. You can also find good quality t-shirts and sneakers in Japan. Asics and Mizuno are popular Japanese brands for shoes. Also, the Japanese are crazy about handbags and shoppers will surely find something good to purchase here.
