Souvenir shopping in Tokyo

  1. A

    Yoshitoku

    Dollmaker to the emperor, Yoshitoku is the most famous of the many traditional ningyō shops lining Edo-dōri. Yoshitoku has been crafting exquisite ningyō since 1711 and is now owned by its 11th-generation descendant.

    Oriental Bazaar

    Set right along the main thoroughfare and noticeably out of place with its gaudy Disney-meets-temple facade, Oriental Bazaar is a decent spot for one-stop shopping if you're looking to buy a variety of different souvenirs. Though the collection of fans, sake sets, yukata and pottery can feel a bit uninspired, the prices are surprisingly low considering the store's location.

    Bingoya

    Regional ceramics, vibrant batik textiles, richly dyed washi (handmade paper), handmade glassware and tatami mats fill up several floors of this wonderful handicrafts shop. It's quite off the grid, making it better for buyers than browsers.
