What to buy in Tokyo...

[ginandtonicplease]

First time in Japan and have heard make up is really good but no idea what brands especially not too spendy...any ideas?? Any other shopping tips welcome!!!

There is so much choice it's almost hard to say. Depends what you like? There are loads of high end stores in many areas especially in Ginza, but for some more interest somewhere like the Shinjuku could be interesting or Harajuku for stressed style or typical Japanese girlie looks.

Bear in mind Japanese ladies are quite petite so larger shoe and clothes sizes can be hard to come by.

It is a great city, just explore and have fun.

I found it impossible to get clothes. I was a 8-10 and (still am) 5"7.

Thanks for your ideas - the 300 yen shops sound great!
