100 Yen Shop
The Daiso 100 yen shop on Takeshita Street has been there for ages and recently underwent a renovation. You can actually find pretty good souvenirs here, especially for kids, and obviously at the best price in town. Friends back home will be happy with just about anything from Japan, and you’ll be able to find tons of cute and unique items that won’t break the bank.

Design Goods
In and around the backstreets in particular you’ll find shops that sell “zakka”, items for your home life that add functionality and decoration with good design sense. That can mean everything from dinnerware to small objects do decorate a shelf. Perfect for souvenirs and especially if you like a simple Japanese aesthetic.
