Definitely grab the crazy flavored Kit-Kats! Brought a bunch back for my office and people are still asking for more green tea ones or cheesecake ones!

We are going to be in Kyoto for a week i had seen the market was there during our stay will definatly check it out we went Japan last year but mostly sightseeing and retro game shopping for my boys this year my daughter and i will shop..I wanted a Samantha Verasa bag didnt get one will this time.Was in Japan recently and shopping was really fantastic! I second Mudodabolsa's suggestions and here are some other suggestions:
- Cosmetics. Didn't get any, but there is a wide array to select from at many different price points. The Shiseido boutique in Ginza might be a good starting point.
- The Japanese make beautiful prints, and they have fabrics used for wrapping lunch boxes (there is a name for it, but can't recall now) which can be used for decoration instead. There is a beautiful shop near the temple in Asakusa that offers a wide variety of different / modern designs to select from.
- In Kyoto there is a market that is open only one Saturday a month. If your trip coincides with the market, please do not miss it! There are many vintage traditional yukata to select from, and at very reasonable prices. The market also sells vintage / antique glassware and other knick knacks that would be meaningful reminders of your trip.
- Kyoto again. There are many shops selling beautiful tea cups, bowls and other glassware, so take the time to browse if you enjoy this sort of thing!
Hope this is helpful! Have fun on your trip.
Nope! Lol - it was very pricey. But we are huge Lost in Translation fans and figured this might be our only trip to Tokyo so we might as well save and stay at the place we wanted. I can say that it was worth it ... Best service I have ever had anywhere. Food was great, gym and spa were fantastic ... And the location, for us, was convenient - just a 10-15 minute walk to the train station.I heard the park hyatt is pricey. did you get a deal?
