I am an air crew and I always fly to Japan. Your videos are very informative and helpful. I will be able to shop more efficiently in future. Looking forward to more similar videos...e.g. useful / interesting items that you buy from certain stores.
I love your videos! You always share such great tips and product recommendations. I really appreciate that it's not all obvious stuff, too. I've learned a lot! Eagerly awaiting your next video on beauty products! Hoping for some ideas to help survive the summer and rainy season~
thank you for sharing. We love your japan vlogs! So straight up and no bs that's why we subscribed to your channel. very helpful when we go to Japan. -account owner's girlfriend speaking. Hope we can see you by chance when we're there!
Great content, I've just subbed to your channel. Next please do Matsumoto Kiyoshi as I would like to know what are your top recommendations for facial soap, masks, shampoo, liquid soap, toothpaste, etc.
I always forget that your intro is silent for the first few seconds, so I turn up my volume thinking that my sound is muted haha :^) anyway, thanks for another helpful video!!
in overwhelming part. thats very true. my favorite donki branch is in near sensoji temple in asakusa ward(just across kappa-bashi alley) because of the karaoke bar near donki itself.
I just got back from Tokyo. How I wish this was made earlier. Great vid! Will definitely check our your recommendations when I go back to Japan. Thanks for making this!
i just found you channel and super hooked. i am binge watching your videos and giving them thumbs up. you deserve them!!! i am a huge fan of Japanese skincare and makeup. please keep these videos coming.
You the best you always show the best places love how they have everything you need I wish they had it here in the United States I would go there for everything ❤️❤️❤️😊
Wow loving all your videos. How did I not find out about you before I been to Japan twice in the last 2 years. Can't wait to go back now to check all these things out :D
Thanks for these tips. I agree with the suggestion of the leg/feet patch and even the soaks to soothe after all day of walking. Our third day I purchased and used them. Great help for tired muscles. For me, the heat packs/stick-on were also a must for winter walking as we explored.
Donki is my favorite store in Japan, I could stay on it for hours not knowing what to buy as there is so lots of stuffs! 😍 I can't wait to see your beauty top now!
Love watching your videos. You give such excellent information. Would love to come and shop. But knowing how I am I would want everything I pick up in all the places you go.
Very interesting and helpful video! I always wanted to check out donki bc I heard it has cool and cheap stuff, so this is perfect intro to get started ^_^ please do Tokyu hands next!
i wish i saw these don quijote recommendations when i was there cause i was wondering what I should get but couldn't understand the packaging. I still got some great things but this would've been so helpful. for sure going back to this the next time i go back!
This is so helpful because I have been trying to find a place to make a hanko! I found out about Don Quijote, but didn't know which ones had the machine!
That was me when I first moved here lol! I was too scared to go into a random hanko shop and explain what I want in Japanese. Plus vending machine for anything is just so cool and fun 〔´∇｀〕
i love the concept your channel and the main covers of ur feeds do pop up. please relax more when you talk to be more relatable. just an idea hehee. love your channel.
Love your top 10 videos. The content of your selection is super informational. I've always wondered about the pain patches, but next time around it'll be a instant buy. Good job on the hanko research. I needed to replace mine and what you showed is definitely more economical for my needs. Love the customization options. Do you recommend any specific DonQuijote stores? I know some are always crowded and others a smaller than others so curious which one you think is best. You mention part 2 will be all on beauty products, think your hubby can tag team on video on man care products in Japan?
I was so intimidated by small dark local hanko shops so I spent lots of time researching a Donki vending machine for it lol! Plus the cheapest ones are 500Yen! I usually go to Ginza store, it seems to be okay. Some other people also asked about men care products, I will keep it in mind for future videos!
Great video! I love going to the Donki in Hawaii but its not the same as Japan. They used to sell Kit Kats at the Donki in Hawaii but they stopped a while ago. I tried going to Donki when I visited Japan in April but it was always soooo crowded in Shibuya and Shinjuku! I finally found one in Nakano and it wasnt as crazy! Can't wait for Part 2!
Thank you so much for your recommendations, Tokiyuyu! I bought roihi tsuboko and that feet and leg cool patches which worked like magic during my stay in Japan! Too bad i didn't find that sprue remedy patches as i forgot to write down the kanji. Hope i can them when i visit Japan again.
Great video Yu! Thank you for the recommendations, I'm excited for part 2! Im traveling to Japan this summer so I'm binge watching all your videos! :D so useful! Would you consider doing a video about Japanese makeup brushes? Xx
Thanks for the very informative video, you've earned yourself a new subscriber! Definitely going to try the hot spring salts at home 😊 Could you please recommend a good humidifier that you can buy in Japan as well? Thanks ~
Another wonderful and very helpful video! OMG Yuyu, I went to a Donki in Akiba in May but it was my first time and I felt so overwhelmed from not having a top buy list! This is sooooo useful and I'll def use it next time I go to Japan! You're the best :D
I've noted your suggestions in my to-do list :D I want to prepare fully before I do a video on a store instead of just recommending whatever comes to my mind, but I'm a big fan of those stores too, so stay tuned! ー( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
1. As an overseas tourist, in this duty free shop, how do I do at payment counter? Do I show passport and get a tax refund receipt for use in the airport on departure day? 2. Skin care like face mask, foam face wash, toner etc, cheaper at this duty free shop or local pharmacy? Not necessarily too expensive brands, average affordable brands which are popular with locals are fine. 3. Are there skin care products in 100 yen / daisy in Japan? Do local ppl buy from there? Thanks , look forward to part 2!
i'm not certain.. maybe i didn't buy enough but i couldn't do tax free at this shop i think.. but the prices here and at other discount pharmacies were cheaper than duty free... their prices are below RRP by a good amount for the products i purchased so i found even with tax they are cheaper.. there is no harm in asking if you can get tax refund just in case i'm wrong, payment at the store is like all other normal stores in japan, you go to the checkout with your goods and place them on the counter for the employee to process and they'll let you know the total. The 100 yen/daiso stores do sell a small range of skin care but its their own house brand, whereas at DonKi they sell name brand, yes lots of locals buy things here because the price is good and the range is super extensive... some locations have different offerings.. like the shinjuku one near koreatown (not the station) has more korean snacks than other locations if that interests you
japanesenoodles sorry i thought don quijote is duty free shop - my mistake. duty free, to my knowledge, can be top brands most of time. i live on budget, i like cheaper affordable products and i do have good trust in japanese quality despite brands...i will certainly have a look at discount pharmacy and bargain shops :) are most of products in japan made in japan by the way?
It is tax free when you purchase ¥5000 or over. Food and drinks don't count towards this. There is a separate counter to check out for tax free and you have to give your passport.
I usually always visit the Ginza store I showed in this video, I find it not as overwhelming as the other ones I went to. Shibuya and Shinjuku are definitely among the busiest. However, try to shop during the day in the middle of the week helps too, it's usually a lot more crowded at night
Really curios what you're gonna show in the next part! I really must be the only person on this planet who's not a huge fan of the biore sunscreen "^^ And I need those patches for pain relief!! My favourite donki is actually the shinjuku one (which is weirdly located in Shinokubo), there's not that many people and they have a lot of Korean snacks and soju as well.
Everybody has their preference in beauty products including sunscreen! I have definitely tried many products other people rave about, but I don't like that much! :D I've heard about the location in Shin-Okubo but now that you mentioned they have Korean snacks and soju, I will HAVE to go lol!
TokiYuYu That's true. The biore is just so famous and well-loved, I always feel bad saying I don't like it that much "^^ Please do, they also sometimes have a "Korean festa" with some deals :D
Thank you for the sunscreen suggestions! I am always looking for new/better sunscreen sprays and creams to use, especially multi-use ones like the spray type that can be used for face touch up over makeup or on your hair (as shown in your Costco video). Now, I wonder if I can buy them in San Francisco's Japantown...
Omg I’m going to bring an empty suitcase for stocking up on canker sore patches!! The ones in the US suck and the prescription stuff has been discontinued. Thanks for the info!!
Pay attention to the color of canker sore patch box, there's white/red version and a yellow/red version. The yellow/red version is more intense, therefore heals faster but you can only use it twice a day. The white/red version is more mild
Thanks again for the info! Sure enough I got a canker sore, thanks oral allergy syndrome, our first night in Tokyo. My husband and I hit the Shinjuku location and stocked up on these patches and souvenirs. Great tips! Made my trip much more enjoyable!
When I first stepped into a Donki, my first thoughts were: Major props to the one in charge of inventory. LOL
wow japan literally has EVERYTHING. so many products for things i never knew could exist! and they're all great quality!
I wish you keep posting. You're video is such a life saver for visiting Japan. Hope you're ok there.
I am an air crew and I always fly to Japan. Your videos are very informative and helpful. I will be able to shop more efficiently in future. Looking forward to more similar videos...e.g. useful / interesting items that you buy from certain stores.
I have a couple of shopping recommendation videos coming up, stay tuned :D
I love your videos! You always share such great tips and product recommendations. I really appreciate that it's not all obvious stuff, too. I've learned a lot! Eagerly awaiting your next video on beauty products! Hoping for some ideas to help survive the summer and rainy season~
Thank you so much!!! Really means a lot to hear comments like this!!! ~ヾ(＾∇＾)
Last time I went to Donki in Shibuya they have so much stuff I didn't know what to get! Useful info you have here, thanks!
thefoodiefeed I've been to that one. It's huge!
Yeah! That one is even busier than the one in Ginza! And they just opened a Mega Donki in Shibuya, I need to go check it out!
TokiYuYu Japan 🇯🇵 is better
LASEA y

I always forget that your intro is silent for the first few seconds, so I turn up my volume thinking that my sound is muted haha :^) anyway, thanks for another helpful video!!
that happened to me just now😂
Haha gotcha! :P
Haha, same here :D
(*≧▽≦)
It's kind of annoying honestly (hurts my OCD sensibilities). I wish it had sound :(
in overwhelming part. thats very true. my favorite donki branch is in near sensoji temple in asakusa ward(just across kappa-bashi alley) because of the karaoke bar near donki itself.
I like your channel as you get straight to the point.
I love how thorough your content is. So informative. Thank you!

I'd love to see a video that talks about share housing if possible! It's something I'm considering staying in while I look for an apartment.
This is awesome, thank you so much for sharing your lists. The canker sore stickers seem really useful!
Those canker sore stickers are SO useful, make sure to stock up because it's a total lifesaver!!!

This is so helpful because I have been trying to find a place to make a hanko! I found out about Don Quijote, but didn't know which ones had the machine!
That was me when I first moved here lol! I was too scared to go into a random hanko shop and explain what I want in Japanese. Plus vending machine for anything is just so cool and fun 〔´∇｀〕
So glad I found this channel, this is super interesting and brings me back to my Japan vacation :))

Thank you for these awesome ideas for tourists, I found your channel when I was searching for Tokyo Disneyland and I love your channel
I wish I had this video when I was in Tokyo, we had Donki right next to our hotel.
Love your top 10 videos. The content of your selection is super informational. I've always wondered about the pain patches, but next time around it'll be a instant buy. Good job on the hanko research. I needed to replace mine and what you showed is definitely more economical for my needs. Love the customization options.

I usually go to Ginza store, it seems to be okay. Some other people also asked about men care products, I will keep it in mind for future videos!
Wow, thank you for showing us this store. America needs to update itself especially in the medicine alley.
I agree!!! You can seriously find everything you need over the counter and everything I've tried so far is so effective!
Great video! I love going to the Donki in Hawaii but its not the same as Japan. They used to sell Kit Kats at the Donki in Hawaii but they stopped a while ago. I tried going to Donki when I visited Japan in April but it was always soooo crowded in Shibuya and Shinjuku! I finally found one in Nakano and it wasnt as crazy! Can't wait for Part 2!
Shibuya and Shinjuku must be among the busiest ones!!! I prefer this Ginza location because it's for me to get to, and usually not TOO crazy
TokiYuYu Maybe I'll try to check that location out on my next visit to Japan!
Thank you so much for your recommendations, Tokiyuyu! I bought roihi tsuboko and that feet and leg cool patches which worked like magic during my stay in Japan! Too bad i didn't find that sprue remedy patches as i forgot to write down the kanji. Hope i can them when i visit Japan again.
wish had these stores in the UK love watching ur videos x
Great video, I make a monthly trip to Donkis, even though it is over an hour drive away, such a great place!
It is! Luckily I have Donkis nearby, but I do my monthly Costco run because I wouldn't be able to live without it even if it's an hour drive as well!
Great video Yu! Thank you for the recommendations, I'm excited for part 2!
Im traveling to Japan this summer so I'm binge watching all your videos! :D so useful!
Would you consider doing a video about Japanese makeup brushes?
Xx
Oh thank you for your suggestions and I have noted in my video idea list! （‐＾▽＾‐）
HI Yuyu, great video there, very informative, can you please do a video about Japanese chef knives? thank you
A spray for every problem. Now I know where Adam West got his "Shark Repellent Bat Spray" from. LOL
I see Hey! Say! JUMP there haha sun cut ambassador
Thanks for the very informative video, you've earned yourself a new subscriber! Definitely going to try the hot spring salts at home 😊 Could you please recommend a good humidifier that you can buy in Japan as well? Thanks ~
I personally haven't purchased a humidifier, but Muji and Bic Camera are good places to check them out!

Also, would you be able to do a video for Village Vanguard and Tokyu Hands? I keep hearing good things about them ^^
I've noted your suggestions in my to-do list :D I want to prepare fully before I do a video on a store instead of just recommending whatever comes to my mind, but I'm a big fan of those stores too, so stay tuned! ー( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Thanks so much! I've realized that I keep suggesting video ideas and now your to do list is getting bigger and bigger xD

Love your videos especially this one
Hi love this. Please show where to get supplements like glutathione, collagen
Just dubbed - very cool videos and so many awesome things to check out!
This is such a great video! What is the equivalent of Benedryl (anti-histamine) in Japan?
very useful as always!

It is tax free when you purchase ¥5000 or over. Food and drinks don't count towards this. There is a separate counter to check out for tax free and you have to give your passport.
wow, really good info. Thanks so much! I subscribed
Great video!! Thank you it was very helpful. Do you have any recs to which DonKi branch might be less busy and have more variety of items in stock?
I usually always visit the Ginza store I showed in this video, I find it not as overwhelming as the other ones I went to. Shibuya and Shinjuku are definitely among the busiest. However, try to shop during the day in the middle of the week helps too, it's usually a lot more crowded at night
you are amazing thank you so much gor this!!!
I love to go there when I am in Hawaii
Very useful, thanks!
Really curios what you're gonna show in the next part! I really must be the only person on this planet who's not a huge fan of the biore sunscreen "^^ And I need those patches for pain relief!!

TokiYuYu That's true. The biore is just so famous and well-loved, I always feel bad saying I don't like it that much "^^ Please do, they also sometimes have a "Korean festa" with some deals :D
I watched all your videos before going back then to Japan. Why don't you have new uploads? Hope you are ok.
i love your Channel.
Thank you for the sunscreen suggestions! I am always looking for new/better sunscreen sprays and creams to use, especially multi-use ones like the spray type that can be used for face touch up over makeup or on your hair (as shown in your Costco video). Now, I wonder if I can buy them in San Francisco's Japantown...
I hope you can find them in SF! Especially the spray, because it's SO good! You don't even feel like it's on, so crazy!
Don, don don, donki, donki-hoo-teee!
😂😂😂
Gosh that theme song xD
It get's stuck in my head for weeks, everytime I'm in Japan for holidays xD
so many ingenius items!
Man im so envious. Cant buy it where i live and im not planning to go to japan anytime soon
Omg I’m going to bring an empty suitcase for stocking up on canker sore patches!! The ones in the US suck and the prescription stuff has been discontinued. Thanks for the info!!
Pay attention to the color of canker sore patch box, there's white/red version and a yellow/red version. The yellow/red version is more intense, therefore heals faster but you can only use it twice a day. The white/red version is more mild
Thanks again for the info! Sure enough I got a canker sore, thanks oral allergy syndrome, our first night in Tokyo. My husband and I hit the Shinjuku location and stocked up on these patches and souvenirs. Great tips! Made my trip much more enjoyable!
Glad it helped!!!
Hi, may I ask, are the luxury bags, watches that are being sold in donquijote original or knock offs?
