Uniqlo
Qlothe yourself in brilliant basics at this low-cost chain. There are dozens of branches around the city, but the Ginza location is the flagship behemoth with an entire building devoted to each gender.

Daiso
When Japan's economy crashed, hyakkin (100-yen shops) began raking in the cash...and haven't stopped. Among the hundreds in Tokyo, Daiso is easily accessible and stocked with four floors full of merchandise costing around ¥100. It's a great souvenir stop, where you can find rice bowls painted with cute animals, vampiric nail polish and random, silly kitsch.

Beams
In this town that has made a cult of the humble decorated T-shirt, Beams must surely be one of its temples. There’s a cluster of Beams shops in this Daikanyama shopping complex of glass boxes, including Mangart Beams T, with exclusive designs by manga artists, and Kodomo Beams for kids. Prices: sky high. There’s another big Beams cluster off Omote-Sandō.

Natsuno
Shelf after shelf of ohashi (chopsticks) in wood, lacquer, even gold leaf line the walls of this intimate shop on a Ginza side street, alongside plenty of hashi-oki (chopstick rests) to match. Prices run from a few hundred yen to ¥10,000. On the 6th floor, sister shop Konatsu sells adorable tableware for kids.

Three Minutes Happiness
Three minutes' worth is guaranteed, but your mileage may vary. This discount shop sells clothes out of decommissioned grocery-store freezers, and makes the shopping experience fun as well as cheap. Downstairs are clothes, shoes and accessories, while lurking upstairs are inexpensive homewares and kitchen knick-knacks.

Journal Standard
Browsing the corners and surfaces of this hip shop turns up all sorts of items to add style to your wardrobe. Collections here are smart but bohemian, and sizes tend toward the Japanese figure (ie, small). This is also a great place to end a shopping spree, as there's a lovely rooftop café on the 3rd floor.

Hanjiro
Even the used clothing stores in Daikanyama are chic. Amid Hanjiro’s distressed floorboards, bath-tubs that double as koi ponds and a tiny garden out front, the western-style youthful duds are fashionable, fine and fun, with many bargain-priced selections. There’s another branch in Harajuku.

Hysteric Glamour
It's more attitudinal tongue-in-cheek than hysterical or glamorous, but whatever you want to call it, it's fun stuff spiked generously with that trademark Tokyo flavour. There's even a toddler line, the ultimate in designer punk for your diapered rocker.

Chicago Thrift Store
Stuffed to the rafters with funky hats, ties and coats, Chicago is a treasure trove of vintage clothing and used duds stacked high and priced low. Of special note is the extensive collection of used kimono and yukata in the basement.
