Shopping at Oriental Bazaar in Omote-sando is something of a guilty pleasure—you know you’ve just been sucked into one of the biggest tourist traps in town, but at the same time the convenience afforded by being able to purchase souvenirs representing most major Japanese cultural traditions all in one place is undeniable. Although most of the stuff on offer are mass-produced, run-of-the-mill products, the store does have departments selling genuine antique kimonos and furniture. Enjoy.
