A small-goods shop specializing in Japanese specialties, run by a friendly owner. I bought some cute chopsticks the owner recommended, and the price was reasonable too.

A vintage shop run by a lovely owner. I was treasure hunting here and scored a shirt for 50,000 won 🔗instagram.com/kousaten_102

A homemade ice cream shop right next to the vintage shop. It’s great to stop by before or after browsing clothes, but the menu changes every day, so you never know what flavors they’ll have!

A small matcha shop attached to a tiny independent bookstore. The freshly whisked matcha, prepared right in front of you, is wonderful paired with a sweet dessert! Even if you go alone, the friendly owner will happily chat with you.

A tableware shop run by an elderly Japanese couple. With reasonable prices starting in the 10,000-won range and adorable Japanese plates and bowls to browse, I lost track of time here. I couldn’t resist and ended up buying several plates.

BIOTOP is where I go to recharge my aesthetic senses. You can see and try on stylish brands all in one place, so I stop by to browse every time I visit Japan.
