There is the supermarket for foods, makeup, gadgets, fashion clothes and accessories, appliances, weird props for any occasion such as Halloween, Christmas and a lots more. one good thing about don Quijote is because this store is open for 24 hours for a month. so! if you plan to buy the cheapest and nice souvenirs here in Japan Don Quijote is one of my recommendation for you.
