Shopping In Tokyo

If you had to visit ONE shop, THIS should be it

• save for halfway point of trip
• expect to stay all day
• surrounded by great eateries

Mandarake delivers to your hotel, yes they do

While the Mandarake in Akihabara and Ikebukuro are great locations for their respective genres, the Shibuya Mandarake is massive with a considerable selection for all tastes.

If you are only in Tokyo for a short time and looking to do acquire as much as possible, I suggest the Mandarake in Shibuya.  And if you’re in Tokyo for a while, visit the Shibuya Mandarake at about the halfway point of your trip so that you can account for a couple of days to have your purchases shipped to your hotel room (it’s usually the next day delivery, but plan for contingencies).

This Mandarake is surrounded by lots of great eateries, which is important as you will be there all day.  I remember the first time I went — I arrived at opening and by the time I left the sun had already set!  Time flew by, and it will for you too.
