Shopping
Cruising the boutiques while toting a couple of designer-label carrier bags is
such a part of Tokyo life that it's hard not to get caught up in the general
enthusiasm. There are shops to suit every taste and budget, including some
great crafts shops and wonderfully quirky souvenir and novelty stores.
Antique and bargain hunters shouldn't miss out on a visit to one of the city's
flea markets, which if nothing else can turn up some unusual curios. Always
at the cutting edge of consumerism, the city is also a prime hunting ground
for the latest electronic gadgets, as well as fashions in both what to wear and
how to style your home.
