What Is a 100 Yen Shop?

A 100 yen shop is a Japanese store where most items cost ¥100 before tax. At the register, you pay ¥110 with the 10% consumption tax, or ¥108 for most food and drinks (taxed at 8%).

Stores range from large multi-story shops to small corners in malls. You can find stationery, kitchenware, cleaning supplies, snacks and travel items, but stock changes by store.

For visitors, these shops are an easy place to buy small souvenirs or replace something you forgot to pack.

Daiso vs Seria vs Can Do: What Is the Difference?

All three are 100 yen shop chains, and you will see them around Tokyo. The biggest difference for visitors is price: Daiso also sells higher-priced items, so read the tag.

	Daiso	Seria	Can Do
Price	Mostly ¥110, some items ¥220–¥550	Mostly ¥110	Mostly ¥110
Branch to try in Tokyo	Marronnier Gate Ginza 2	Shinjuku Marui Annex	Seibu Shinjuku PePe
Payment	Credit cards and e-money at the branches listed below	Check at the store	Check at the store

If you only have time for one, start with the branch closest to your hotel. Large branches have more choice than small ones.

100 Yen Shops in Tokyo by Area

These branches appear on each chain’s or building’s official website. Hours can change, so check before you go.

Ginza: Daiso Global Flagship

Daiso’s Ginza store is on the 6th floor of Marronnier Gate Ginza 2 (3-2-1 Ginza), open 11:00–21:00. The Daiso floor area is about 1,000 square meters. Standard Products (everyday goods) and THREEPPY (mostly ¥300 items) are on the same floor, so prices are not all ¥110 here.

Harajuku: Daiso Harajuku

Daiso Harajuku is a small-format store on the 2nd floor of Village 107 (1-19-24 Jingumae), open 9:30–21:00. It takes credit cards and e-money. See our Harajuku guide for the area.

Shinjuku: Can Do and Seria

Can Do is on the 8th floor of Seibu Shinjuku PePe (1-30-1 Kabukicho), open 11:00–21:30. Its official site lists it as a large store.

Seria is on the 4th floor of Shinjuku Marui Annex (3-1-26 Shinjuku), about 2 minutes from Shinjuku-sanchome Station. The building’s usual hours are 11:00–20:00.

Shibuya: Daiso Shibuya Center Street

This small-format store is at 35-2 Udagawacho, open 10:00–21:30. It takes credit cards and e-money. For more on the area, see our Shibuya guide.

What to Buy at a 100 Yen Shop

Stock changes by store and season, so treat this as a list of things to look for.

Souvenirs and Gifts

• Tenugui: thin cotton hand towels. Light and easy to pack
• Ceramic chopstick rests (hashioki)
• Folding fans (sensu) and furoshiki wrapping cloths
• Washi tape and Japanese-style stationery
• Small dishes and cups

Travel Essentials

• Packing cubes and compression bags
• Small travel bottles (check your airline’s liquid rules)
• Foldable tote bags and laundry bags
• Phone stands and cable clips

Snacks

• Rice crackers (senbei) and candy
• Furikake: rice seasoning packs, small and light
• Instant miso soup

Snacks are usually taxed at 8%, so a ¥100 item costs ¥108. Some small items, like candy, are sold as 2 or 3 for ¥100 before tax.

Prices: Is Everything Really 100 Yen?

Not everything, but most items are. A ¥100 item costs ¥110 or ¥108 at the register.

Item type	Tax rate	You pay
General goods	10%	¥110
Most food and drinks	8%	¥108

Some items cost more than ¥100, in multiples of ¥100, and are marked clearly. At Daiso, you may see ¥200, ¥300 or ¥500 before tax (¥220, ¥330 or ¥550 with tax). Check the tag before you fill your basket.

Tax-Free Shopping at 100 Yen Shops

Do not plan on it. The Daiso store pages we checked do not mention tax-free service, so ask at the register before you buy.

Where a store does offer it, you need to spend at least ¥5,000 before tax at the same store on the same day. At ¥100 per item, that is about 50 items.

Since November 1, 2026, you pay the full price with tax at the store. You claim the refund when you leave Japan, before you check in. Keep every item from the receipt with you until then. See our guide to money in Tokyo for the steps.

Tips for Shopping at 100 Yen Shops

• Bring your own bag. Shops in Japan may charge for plastic bags
• Check how you can pay. Daiso’s stores listed above take credit cards and e-money. At other shops, ask at the register and keep some cash with you
• Choose a large branch if you can. Small corners in malls have less choice. Search Google Maps for “Daiso” or “Seria” plus the station name
• Read the price tag. Not every item is ¥110
