Often, when people ask me about places for shopping souvenirs in Tokyo, I recommend Nakamise-dori in Asakusa, a place that, although crowded, I enjoy every time. However, if you’re willing to adventure a bit farther from the tourist areas, I would recommend Shibamata, a traditional street located between the same-named Keisei Railway train station and the entrance to the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple. Dozens of stores, with a great variety of merchandise, and at very good prices, too…
