Japan: Part 2 - Shopping Tokyo! Places to bring your credit card^^

Roppongi

Roppongi Hills is a giant shopping and eating complex, full of shiny, expensive shops. It's also next to the Grand Hyatt that was the filming scene for "Lost in Translation".


There's a famous spider sculpture there. I've seen the spider sculptures in a few other countries too. Have no idea why shopping centers like it so much.


When I was there, there was a Japanese singer recording a performance at the outdoor stage. There were tons of her fans, all dressed like mini versions of her. Even Japanese kids have amazing fashion sense!

Ginza



Another place to see and be seen. Lots of sparkly luxury stores line the streets. There’s a H&M there too.

Venus Fort


Located at Odaiba… look under the “Sightseeing in Tokyo” section for more directions and attractions. Venus Fort is sooooooo pretty! A Venice-themed, women-focused mall, with fountains and an artificial sky that changes from morning to night! It has a few outlet stores (including Coach and Levi) … can get some good bargains.
