Tokyu Hands: A store that literally sells everything

Good luck leaving Tokyu Hands -- perhaps the most jam-packed general goods store on earth. Stuffed with eight floors of immaculately-presented everyday items -- crafts, home wares and gadgets -- the store seems to go on forever. Just the pen section alone will take a solid hour to fully appreciate.

The crazy Japanese knick-knacks on the variety goods floor will also suck you in a retail vortex, of which, there may be no return.

A warning: the merchandising changes so quickly that items may move around the store in a matter of days. Buy what you like the first time around. And remember, if you can’t find what you are looking for at Tokyu Hands, it probably doesn’t exist.
