Traveler reviews
Possibly one of the most chaotic DonQs due to the location and omnipresent abundance of tourists. Shopping at DonQ can be a sensory overload in it's own right, so try to come during off hours for a more comfortable shopping experience. This is when the location shines the most. The store is huge, multi-tiered and filled with a wide range of goods from souvenirs to practical items such as toiletries. I appreciate the staff taking care of this location, it must be challenging!
This location is great for anime fans! Thete is even a cute Maide Cafe! Easy to find while walking. Floors 6 and 7 are not part of the main store, so if you want to visit make sure you go before you start shopping. If you want to do tax free its only on the 4th floor!!
Just had a disgusting experience at Don Quijote in Akihabara buying colored contacts.
It happened in the contact lenses counter on 4th floor, I handed the staff the product card, and she was insanely rude from the start. She snapped at me in Japanese that it was out of stock, then completely ignored me when I asked if I could choose another prescription for the buy-2-get-1-free deal.
When I spoke English, she literally rolled her eyes at me. Then when I asked about another color in 0.00, she threw the card back at me. Not handed it back — threw it rudely.
Absolutely awful attitude. Don’t go there and ruin your mood.
Really cool Don Qui, at the last floor there is a ncie arcade place too, but please give back liberty to Miku and the others one !
🇬🇧 A must-go destination for visitors with a lot of popular brands in this country. You can buy all good things with relatively cheap prices. A minor problem is that English communication there is hard for foreigners.
