It is said that "Uogashi" or a riverside fish market dates back to the 16th century, the beginning of the Edo period. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Tokugawa shogun and builder of Edo as is now Tokyo, invited fishermen from Tsukudajima, Osaka and gave them a privilege for fishing in order to let them supply seafood to Edo Castle. The fishermen purveyed fish to the Castle and sold the remains near the Nihonbashi bridge. GREAT TO GET THERE EARLY AND SEE ALL THE GREAT FISH AND THE FRESHNESS AND WATCHING ALL THE CUSTOMERS SHOPPING TO THEIR CONTENTMENT!!! The Tsukiji fish market is located near the Tsukiji Shijou Station on the Oedo subway line and Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya subway line. There are two distinct sections of the market as a whole. The "inner market" (jonai shijo) is the licensed wholesale market, where the auctions and most of the processing of the fish take place,...
Shimokitazawa is an area frequented by the college-age crowd. By walking around the densely populated shopping area, you'll notice the crowd here is stylish, but in a manner totally different from the typical fashions you'll find in Shinjuku, Shinbuya, Ginza or Harajuku. Most of the young adults here buy their clothes from the second hand clothing stores found all around this district and some may even modify their findings to suit their style. Take a walk around and poke your head into a few of the second hand stores many are on the basement-level so keep a good eye out. Many stores will have their own specialties in the type of clothes they carry, but if you are open-minded you may be able to find something amazing. Observe the stylish people walking around the district to take some cues about how you can repurpose a second-hand buy into a fashion forward outfit. Varies from store to...

If you are looking for souvenirs in Tokyo, there are plenty of souvenir shops at the walkway to the famous Asakusa Shrine. These shops sell many souvenirs as well as cute stuff for ladies, you can really spend a lot of time here if you are on your own.
There are many 100 Yen Shops at Tokyo which sell all their items at a relatively cheap price of 100 yen. These items are usually common daily items but it is worth to check them out, considering that Tokyo is an expensive city and this is a place where you can save some money.
There are a few major shopping areas in Tokyo, namely:- Shinjuku and Shibuya: Very crowded areas with lots of shopping centres.- Ginza: Famous for high fashion and relatively more expensive shopping.- Harajuku: More for teenagers, lots of them hanging around especially weekends.- Akihabara: Shopping area for electronic goods, with the latest technology on earth.
I bought these soba & udon for my parents. Not sure how it tasted since we haven't consumed them.But it's something quite special as it's long & the shop that sells them called it "Long-life Soba/Udon" which most people would love it for what it signifies.They are heavy & come with a soup base. Good souvenirs & cheap as well. Each packet costs about 550 yen.
Well, I love soba. Not that I've to buy it from Tokyo since I can find them in the city I live.For some, it's interesting just to find out the variety of soba & udon that's available in Japan.In fact, shopping in Tokyo is heavenly as far as I'm concerned. The shoppers are bombarded with huge choices. As long as you've enough $$$, no problem. I remembered once walking into the stationery department & can't believe what I saw! More than 200 types & designs of pencils & pens! Imagine that!& each departmental stores have different batch of goods!!!Just too awesome for words!
