If you're living in or visiting Japan, a trip to Don Quijote (a.k.a. Donki) is a must. But with endless shelves and wild neon signs everywhere, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Here’s a quick guide to the best buys (and what you can skip) in 2025:
Tax-free cosmetics & skincare (Shiseido, Canmake, etc.)
Japanese snacks (KitKat flavors, dried squid, wasabi peas)
Cheap souvenirs (funny keychains, samurai goods, yukata sets)
Costume section (especially around Halloween!)
Everyday essentials (detergent, toothpaste, masks – often cheaper than supermarkets)
Electronics – often outdated or more expensive than Bic Camera/Yodobashi.
Luxury watches & brand goods – better to buy from department stores with legit warranty.
Tourist trap food boxes – overpriced and found cheaper at regular supermarkets.
💡 Tip: Look for the yellow “爆安” (super bargain) tags – that’s where the deals are!
