Tokyo is ever evolving, brimming with new attractions and unique experiences tailored for each season. Did you know Japan dominates the list of the world’s busiest train

Stations, with Tokyo being the epicenter of this bustling activity? Leading the way is Shinjuku Station, followed closely by Shibuya, Ikebukuro Stations. Today we’re at Shibuya Station, the world’s second busiest, with a staggering 3.24 million daily passengers. In this video, we’re exploring MEGA DON QUIJOTE in Shibuya,

A place unlike any ordinary Don Quijote store. Known as Mega Don Quijote, it’s Japan’s first family oriented discount store, boasting an enormous scale. Here, we’ll delve into two popular souvenirs that are well-known in Japan, but may be new to many international visitors.

Mega Don Quijote is just a three minute walk from Shibuya Station head towards the famous scramble crossing turn at the corner with a large bookstore sign and you’ll soon see Shibuya109, right around the corner from Shibuya109. You’ll find the unmistakable signage of Mega Don Quijote with its splashy

Don Quijote character and massive building. Let’s dive in and explore the wonders of Mega Dante together. Let’s get started. And here we are at the Shibuya Mega Don Quijote. This place is open. 24 seven, 365 days a year. It’s a massive six storey building packed with around 80,000 items.

The basement floor has got frozen food, fresh meat, fruit and ready to eat meals. The first floor right at the entrance is where you’ll find perfumes, color, contacts and seasonal items like Christmas costumes right now. The second floor is all about food and snacks. The third floor has got cosmetics and clothes.

The fourth floor is for branded and apparel items. The fifth floor is your go to for cleaning supplies, best items and party gear. The sixth floor. That’s where you’ll find electronics, beauty appliances. All right, let’s head up to the second floor. This store is not just about everyday items.

It’s a paradise for Japanese snack lovers. Trust me, this is where you’ll find all the goodies that tourists go crazy for. I’m going to show you some of the must buy snacks that are a big hit with visitors from overseas. Plus, plowshares is my personal favorite. Perfect for souvenirs.

Lucky for us, it’s a weekday morning and it’s pretty quiet right now. A great time to explore without the crowds. You know, the thing about Shibuya Mega downtown is, even though the building itself is huge, the aisles can get pretty cozy with all the amazing stuff you’re packing.

First up on our tour is everyone’s favorite big cats here in Mega Don Quijote cart corner as massive with an unbelievable variety of flavors. Check this out. But first, the natural flavor. It’s even got English description. Sakura Cherry Blossom is a popular flavor in Japan,

Especially in spring, but Sakura Kanako is quite unique. The combination of savory Kanako, a roasted soybean flower with the subtle fragrance of Sakura, as is popular with tourists, is a classic matcha flavor. And there’s more. Tokyo Island’s lemon sharp and tangy wasabi flavor and initially

A plum wine flavored Kit-Kat coated in white chocolate. The luxurious gold lettering really stands out, and we can’t miss the matcha flavor either. It’s got a prominent display with the best Christmas sensation written on the top right? It’s a rich match, a taste common in supermarkets, but a favorite of mine.

And check this out. The greedy double flavor, a lavish mix of chocolate and matcha. And one. Then there’s no tea flavor. It’s cute. Checkered background and teacup illustration are eye catching. And let’s not forget the classic black chocolate and whole wheat. Different flavors. Familiar sights in regular supermarkets.

Next up, we’ve got another crowd pleaser, Pocky matcha flavor as especially popular here. It’s so in-demand that it’s placed right at the entrance on the first floor. He’ll easily spot the classic green packaging of matcha packing, along with the traditional red packaged ones. Each box contains two packs with about 17 sticks,

Each perfect for sharing or indulging on your own. And there’s the strawberry flavor, too. It’s a bit thicker than your regular pocky with real strawberry bits for an extra fruity punch. Wait, there’s more. Check out this unique Yamazaki flavor packet. But hold on.

We found something even more special the Japan flavor to our party. It features nine different flavors, each representing a region of Japan from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south. Next up, as a snack. Every Japanese person knows and loves Alpha. I absolutely adore this.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary as a bestseller. The classic blue package holds the regular chocolate flavor where chocolate and whole wheat biscuits come together in a perfect harmony. And don’t miss out on the green package. That’s the rich matcha flavor. It’s a deep dive into the world of Japanese tea,

Combined with Alpert’s signature crunchy biscuits, a true fusion of traditional taste in modern confectionery. Moving on. We’ve got a jelly treat. That’s a huge hit with two time Jack Jones. This section is just massive, piled high with these delicious jellies. What makes Cognac jelly so special?

It’s low in calories, but super satisfying rich in dietary fiber that digests slowly. It keeps you from making it the perfect snack, especially if you’re watching your diet. Each jelly is only about 13 calories for a 20 grams serving. It’s a popular choice among young women.

These jellies come in a smart package that you can squeeze to pop the jelly out, making them super easy and safe for everyone, from kids to seniors to enjoy the ever popular jaggery go. This potato Stix snack is a staple in Japan, found in virtually every supermarket and convenience store.

It’s safe to say that every Japanese person has enjoyed these at least once. There’s a variety of flavors available here. We spotted the outside version, which has longer sticks than usual. We also found some unique flavors like wasabi soy sauce and a spicy

Pizza flavor marked with red and black packaging that screams hot. I can personally recommend Pico Chan’s milky candy. This classic White Milky is all about no fragrance, no color, just the pure, delicious taste of milk. It’s like a taste of home, a true mom’s flavor in a candy. The red packaging with Milky

Written in big letters and the iconic Pico chan is your sign. Each piece is individually wrapped in adorable fairytale like papers. It’s not just a candy, it’s a piece of Japanese pop culture, cute, nostalgic, and also tasty. Next up, let’s talk about Choco bomb. A bite sized chocolate treat. That’s a nostalgic favorite.

I remember bringing these in school field trips. The first thing that caught my eye here is the monster flavor in a package that’s about twice as big as the regular ones. And it’s a Don Quixote exclusive. Above the matcha, there are the three classic flavors strawberry, caramel and peanut.

Right there in the center. You’ll see Kilo chan, the adorable choco almost packaged a true Japanese classic Choco pie. This sweet treat has been around for 40 years, beloved by generations, from grandmas to kids. Imagine a moist cake sandwiched with fluffy whipped cream all wrapped up in a smooth chocolate coating.

And for those who love variety, there’s also a custard cake version. This is a happy turn, a snack that’s become a big hit here in Japan. It’s not your ordinary rice cracker. Each piece has this bumpy texture and is coated with a sweet powder that creates a deliciously addictive, sweet and salty taste.

What sets happy turn apart as its light and crispy texture Much easier to munch on compared to regular rice crackers. Let’s dive into the world of authentic Japanese ramen with each year on ramen right here in cup noodle form. Each year is one of Japan’s most famous ramen shops, and this cup

Noodle lets you enjoy their signature tonkotsu ramen right at home. For those who can’t visit the restaurant or just want to relive the experience, this Cup noodle has a perfect. As we wrap up our tour of this floor, there’s one more must mention Treat haiku.

It’s a delightful cross between a gummy and a soft candy, offering the best of both worlds with its chewy texture. Let’s head down to the basement floor of Mega Dunkin, where an incredible array of food items awaits us. This place is a foodie paradise featuring everything from freshness in beverages to frozen foods,

Snack breads, onigiri bento boxes and preserved goods. But it’s not your average grocery store layout. Forget neat aisles. This is Don Quijotee style shopping. You’ll find great deals stacked in cardboard boxes, colorful and eye catching displays, and a layout that encourages exploration. First stop in Mega Don Quijote’s amazing world of instant noodles.

The Cup Noodle section. And here you’ll find an incredible variety from ramen to spicy Korean noodles. Yaki soba, udon soba and even pad Thai. I’m highlighting Nissin cup noodles, a household name worldwide. The classic iconic Red Cup noodle is the world’s first cup noodle ever created.

Don’t miss out on the Blue Seafood Cup noodle either. Another popular choice is the yellow curry noodle. Then there’s the mystery meat. Cup noodle. This version is loaded with about four times the usual amount of mystery meat, which, by the way, is port. Next, let’s talk about a perfect souvenir.

That’s both travel friendly and a taste of Japan. You might be wondering what exactly is for a cake. Well, it’s a seasoned powder you sprinkle on top of plain rice. One of the most famous for a tacky variety is this one right here.

It’s incredibly simple, yet delicious, made with just sesame seeds and salt. And for those with kids. Check out these character for a keiki package. They’re perfect for children’s lunchboxes. Each pack contains 20 small bags, and each bag features fun and colorful characters that kids absolutely love.

The zoo section tucked away just beneath the for a keiki area. Classic favorites like salmon, Oaxacan, uma voce, pickled plum Oaxaca are famous for their simplicity and comforting taste. A link to a past where the simple act of pouring tea or hot water over rice created something truly special. The old school bus.

When you go to school. And now we’ve arrived at the final area I’ll be showcasing in this video the third floor of Mega Dante. This store is all about beauty and wellness. You’ll find an extensive range of cosmetics, skincare products, face washes, perfumes, haircare items, medical supplies, health foods, and even baby products

For them. And, oh, there are even some flowers hanging around. First up on this floor, we’ve got something that really stands out. Can you guess what it is? This is a steamy mess, a real gem for those looking to unwind. There’s also something similar for your feet. The steam eye

Mask is designed to gently envelop your tired eyes in the surrounding area with comforting warmth developed with the hardworking lifestyle of many Japanese in mind. This eye mask has gained immense popularity here in Japan. It’s not just a hit. Locally, tourists often pick these up as souvenirs.

Moving on, we’ve come across an essential beauty item. Yes, face masks tucked away in the back. The variety here is just overwhelming. It’s almost too much to choose from, right? I often check reviews before shopping for the latest types of masks. Out of this best selection, I’ve picked two must trace for you.

First up is the rice mask. This mask promises skin is soft and plump as freshly cooked rice. It’s in a tube, so you’ll apply it directly to your skin. There’s also a separate sheet mask version available. We have the saké Lees Katsu mask right beside it, also in a tube.

This one’s aimed at brightening your skin and reducing dullness after washing it off. Your skin feels moisturized and bouncy. Now we’ve moved on to the medical products section, and I’ve got a standout item to show you. It’s a Muji patch with the recognizable and Pam in packaging.

In a nutshell, it’s an itch relief patch. These patches are especially great for kids who might scratch too much and worsen their skin irritation. This sunscreen section, Japanese sunscreens are renowned for their high performance and they’ve become increasingly popular overseas.

They cater to a wide range of needs, from tone up effects to formulas that can be washed off with soap and even gentle options for sensitive skin. Out of this impressive lineup, I’ve picked two can’t miss products for you. First, let’s talk about this blue sunscreen. It’s marketed for its amazingly light feel.

What does that mean? It has a hydrating, non-greasy texture that spreads easily on the skin. The second recommendation is this gold spray type sunscreen. I’ve been loyal to this one for a long time. It’s exceptionally effective at preventing sunburn. The label highlights several features.

It can be washed off with, so it’s safe for hair and scalp and it’s waterproof. With all these benefits, it’s hard to find any fault with this product. I want to share a personal recommendation, something that might surprise you. A nail clipper priced at ¥1,400.

While you can find nail clippers in any ¥100 shop, this isn’t your ordinary clipper. In Japan, we take pride in the high quality of our everyday items and this nail clippers is no exception. As we wrap up our tour, I’m excited to show you our final souvenir

Pick socks from the vibrant anime clothing section. These aren’t just any socks. They’re flat, affordable and often come in eye catching designs, making them perfect souvenirs. You’ll definitely want to grab a few pairs. Mega Don Quijotehas an incredible variety of socks featuring characters from well-known anime like Doraemon, Studio Ghibli, Pokémon and Sanrio.

It’s so much fun just trying to decide which ones to choose. There’s something for everyone, including smaller sizes for kids, so why not grab matching pairs for the whole family?
