100 yen stores

One of the things I am absolutely crazy about, and that you can find easily everywhere in every town of Japan, is the 100 Yen Shop.

What is this shop ?

Well, is a kind of supermarket small or big depends on the location, in which you can find a thousand of items, first of all bento items then foods, school items, paper sets, small things for house, shoes, small utensils, everything you can imagine at .... 100 Yen ! that means 80 euro cents or less than a US dollar. WOW !

If you go japan and you want to start a collection of bento and accessories such as chopsticks, paper cups, pics, sushi shapers, and millions of accessories you just have to search for the nearest 100 Yen Shop and you'll get completely crazy ^___^

Take a look at these images, I guess most of theese items you perfecly already know because you have at home, maybe you bought on Ebay but visiting Japan you can find for 100 Yen in theese shops, you paid much more ? HEHEHE go to 100 Yen stores and you will buy for 100 times less ^^

The most famous store in Shizuoka is the Lemon 100 Yen Shop, there were three all around the town, aparte from lemon, the second bestknown is Daiso.
I found the complete line of Urara (dragonfly blue, usagi red, flower yellow), with bento, chopsticks, bento belts, kinchaku, tool set and much more, I also found pics of the various characters, paper cups, sushi shapers, soy bottles and mini boxes .... but in this shops you can also find small toys, school items, shampoo and hair pins, small boxes for the freezers, foods and so much more, I visited about 20 stores in Shizuoka and in every one I bought something, in some you can find character item like Hello Kitty, Stich, Peanuts, Cinnamonroll, in some others you find only classic bento like Urara and other models.
