To me Japan is a heaven for shopping. You are able to shop for Uniqlo, Shiseido, Diaso, Fancl, Hada Labo, snacks etc, at a cheaper price. Not only that it is cheaper, they have more variety.

Below are the top 8 shopping places in Tokyo for shopping:

Personally, I would highly recommend the store called Niki no Kashi. The store is a wholesale for snack. They sell tones of snack and with a wide variety. The well-known snack product such as Meiji, Jagabee etc all can be found there.
