Consists of new outlets for Daiso’s sister manufacturers too.
If you happen to had been to sum up downtown Tokyo’s Shinjuku neighborhood in a single phrase, “selection” can be the one to do it with. Skyscraper shops with brand-name fashions, gigantic electronics retailers with all kinds of devices, fancy eating places, dive bars, online game arcades, film theaters, stage venues, pachinko parlors, a fantastic backyard, a picturesque shrine, Godzilla’s head, the SoraNews24 head workplace…Shinjuku has all of it!
Besides, to our unhappiness, a suitably sized Daiso. For the previous a number of years, for those who had been in Shinjuku and in search of one thing from Japan’s hottest 100 yen store, you had been going to must make the rounds of a separate handful of undersized branches, placing in quite a lot of legwork for a really small likelihood of really discovering what you had been in search of.
So we had been very glad to identify this on one in all our current Shinjuku walks.
Now listed on the facet of the identical constructing that incorporates the world’s flagship Uniqlo and Bic Digicam branches, just some minutes’ stroll from Shinjuku Station, is Daiso!
Seeing the signal, we had been drawn into the constructing as if it had a gravitational pull. This new Daiso is on the eighth flooring, and throughout the elevator trip up we saved our fingers crossed that it might be larger than the tiny ones Shinjuku had been caught with till now.
Then the elevator doorways opened…and our prayers had been answered!
▼ “Wow! Superior!”
Your entire eighth flooring of the constructing is now occupied by Daiso and its sister shops Commonplace Merchandise and Threeppy. Whereas Commonplace Merchandise and Threeppy are a teeny bit costlier than Daiso, even the Daiso space alone is sufficiently big that the 100-yen bargains stretch so far as the attention can see.
It seems this isn’t the one Daiso growth Shinjuku has just lately had both. After leaving the Daiso Bic Digicam Shinjuku Higashiguchi Department (because the eighth-floor large is known as), we strolled over to Daiso’s Shinjuku Subnade Department, just some blocks away contained in the Subnade subterranean purchasing heart…
…the place we discovered that the beforehand mini-sized store…
…has expanded for the reason that final time we had been there! Whereas it’s not as large because the Bic Digicam Shinjuku Higashiguchi Department, it’s lastly bought sufficient flooring area and choice to be a viable place to do some fairly intense 100 yen purchasing, comparable to getting provides for cool DIY anime artwork tasks or making your personal mochi sweets.
