Don Quijote Akihabara

Very fun small shopping mall to browse. The @home maid café is on the 5^th floor so we browsed the bottom 4 floors while waiting for the café to open at 11:30am. There’s an arcade on the ground floor, a pharmacy and costume shop on the higher levels. I am in love with the rose-​scented hand lotion and soy chapstick that I bought here. I wish I stocked up on them! The pharmacy also sold small items, like keychains, that would make great souvenirs.

I found it hard not to spend a great deal of time and money here! Cool socks, stickers, different flavor Kit Kats, all sorts of matcha candies, souvenirs and so much more! You can get in a long line to purchase your items duty free or you can purchase them with no wait at a non-​duty free counter!
The store ends somewhere after the 5^th floor and you cannot enter that floor with your un– purchased goods lol! I found out the hard way lol!
The sales floor is a little bigger than in Shinjuku and it’s a little less cramped here it seems. Most important is that this place does have lots of good stuff! You can also use their escalators or elevators.
What can I do without here?
Too bad it was Halloween. A whole sales floor at least was dedicated to Halloween.
What makes Don Quijote stand out?
The sheer amount of cool stuff!
Five stars! This place is really, really ridiculously good!

THE GREATEST STORE IN JAPAN!!! This place is open very late and has literally EVERYTHING! Snacks, souvenirs, sex shop, pillows, workout equipment, bicycles, clothes, liquor… literally everything. It is several floors of AMAZING! In one place i bought some hello kitty slippers, an umbrella, squid jerky, a bottle of whiskey, socks, a pikachu hat, some headphones, makeup, a tshirt, and some noodles to cook at home. If you are in Tokyo check out this or any Don Quijote in Tokyo. You can spend hours just browsing through the goodies this store has to offer. Do yourself a favor and go!!!

How can you not give this place 5 stars?! Have you seen weird things from Japan? — In most cases, it probably came from a Don Quijote! While yes, it may be a discount store, but it is THE place to get snacks, souvenirs, weird toys, costumes, makeup, sex toys, and other random things.
Each Don Quijote can offer different things. This one for example, has two floors that pay homage to AKB48 — a pop band that got started over there.
Go. Check out each floor. You’re welcome: D
Japanese Tip: A lot of the Japanese department stores will off a 5% discount for tourists with their passports. Don Quijote is one of them!
