Tucked at the end of Ginza’s bustling shopping street is a toy emporium.
So now you know where to send the kids while you go shopping!
Ginza Hakuhinkan Toy Park
Address: Ginza 8-chome
When I arrived at Ginza, I found out that the Rice Gallery is no longer at Ginza Gas Hall Building(original location) and Kokusai Forum (second location).
I wanted to introduce this shop as rice is an important commodity to the Japanese. But my main aim was to check out the gift shop which sells rice-based skin care products. Throughout my trip I found that cosmetics made from food such as Sake, Soy Milk, Natto(fermented soybeans), Green Tea and other natural products are gaining in popularity and can be easily found in drug stores around Tokyo. A good place to start is at Nakameguro’s Drug Store next to station, which has a wide collection of such products. Lush inside Ikebukuro station also sells natural products.
If you are staying around JR Ikebukuro Station, you may want to check out these two shops inside the station. They are located diagonally from each other.
Verger A convenient location to pick up relatively cheap fruits:
(a make- shift vegetables and fruits stall which sells produce from farmers in the region) : http://www.e-verger.com/
I bought and hand carried home 16 peaches costing 1680 Yen! “So cheap!”
