Yelp Review 2024 #191:
The biggest Don Quijote store in Japan is MEGA Don Quijote Shibuya Main Store. It has 7-9 floors (2 underground floors...and I totally lost count) and it's open 24/7!
It's a place to shop for snacks or souvenirs to bring home. If you spend over 5000 Yen as a tourist, you get tax-free pricing! I wouldn't recommend getting over 5000 Yen-worth of snacks to eat while in Japan as you have to keep your tax-free purchases in the sealed bags. Instead, buy a little at a time for snacking. Do your big shopping on your last day.
As soon as you walk in, to your left is a 10 Yen Pancake stall. In front are escalators going up and going down. The 2 underground floors are for ready-to-eat food/ bento, fruits, vegetables, groceries. First floor (where you started) has all the snacks, contact lenses, shirts, bags, caps, hoodies, costumes, etc. Second floor has the biggest assortment of different flavors of Kit Kats, matcha things, tea, Ichiran ramen, dog toys, etc. Third floor has makeup and skincare products, and supplements. Fourth floor has second-hand luxury bags, shoes, clothes. Fifth floor has cleaning supplies, children's toys and a closed off section for adult toys (why they're on the same floor don't ask me!). Sixth floor is for electronics. Seventh floor has suitcases, bags, more souvenir items and the tax-free counters - it's crazy busy and the lines are long! Which is why I returned all the items I had in my hand and told myself to try another day. So, it seems like they have 9 floors total now that I broke it down.
My advice is avoid this place from 6pm-11pm because it's super busy. If you have jet lag, come here at odd hours like 1am-8am if you want a more peaceful shopping experience.
