Anyone who has ever been to Tokyo knows it is one of the best places to shop in the world. It can also be very confusing, spending needless hours on the wrong train or walking around the crowded streets aimlessly.
The purpose of the Tokyo Bazaar guide and website is to create a user friendly shopping experience for English speaking people visiting or living in Japan. The Tokyo Bazaar editors chose the traditional charm of Asakusa and the trend-setting district of Harajuku as their first shopping areas to focus on. And this is only the beginning. They plan to create additional detailed English guides of other popular shopping destinations around Tokyo.
Tokyo Bazaar claims to be the first and only guide map for unique shopping in Tokyo. They have carefully selected a handful of interesting stores that sell products native to Japan. Looking for an eloquent Kimono? No Problem. Looking for some sake? No problem. Not only is the guide useful for locating Asakusa or Harajuku shopping hot-spots, it serves as functional site seeing map with coupons and is freely distributed throughout the Tokyo area.
The bilingual Tokyo Bazaar staff has future intentions to offer an even more diverse range of guides and websites in many different languages that will help new visitors experience the thrills of Tokyo shopping.
