Have you ever wondered what kind of souvenirs you should buy when looking for souvenirs from Japan? Buying at supermarkets or souvenir stores is certainly not a bad option. However, you may want to buy something more Japanese, cool and functional as a souvenir. If so, this shopping tour based in Kappabashi is for you. Kappabashi is a shopping district where people who are opening or have opened restaurants in the area buy tableware and fixtures to decorate their stores, and a variety of items for business use are on display. Many of these items are not only full of Japanese functional beauty, but are often available at commercial prices, i.e., a little less expensive. This shopping district is of course interesting even if you are visiting on your own. However, if you visit with a skilled guide, you will be able to count on him or her to negotiate prices with shopkeepers.
