Don Quijote

I stumbled upon this Don Quijote store three years ago before I knew what it was, that it was a Tokyo chain, and that everyone knew how crazy it was. I discovered only on this trip – my fourth to Tokyo – that I learned that it’s a well-​known place.
It’s a madhouse of inexpensive and inexplicable delights. Just one example: I found a beauty face mask labeled, in English, «Placenta.» Like, um, no thank you.
It’s an experience, and quintessentially Japanese. It’s worth a visit. Who needs LSD?

So I’ve read a lot about Don Quijote (aka pronounced like donkey for short), and watched some documentary about it before arriving.
For those that have never been — Imagine a BIG store like Wal-​Mart, but 5x more packed with merchandise. LOTS of misc items: from snacks, make-​up, workout items, clothes, suitcases, electronics, to dress up costumes, second hand designer bags, car accessories. I bought instant Polaroid film for an awesome price!!! Cheaper than amazon! Also cool snacks to share with friends.
My point is it can get overwhelming lol. The first timewe stayed for ~2 hours because there was so much to see and touch! Second and third time, i think we were able to get it down to an hr…
TIP 1: There are multiple Don Quijote throughout tokyo. So maybe ask your hotel which one is closest to you.
TIP 2: If you have a list of what you are hoping to buy in Tokyo, reference it! Because there are so many items there, it may seem like you need to buy it all. but really there was no use — AND TAKING UP VALUABLE SUITCASE SPACE!
TIP 3: We bought these pack of napkins (had 10 individual packs), it said in english «Wet Tissues» but they turned out to be regular dry tissues — so disappointed. Maybe if we knew Japanese, that may not have happened haha

This is Don Quijote, which is usually called Donki.
You can find this easily because this is decorated in the showy way.
Red and yellow are all around the entrance and many items are arranged there.
But there is a problem here.
Many Waseda university students enjoy this with thanks.
But they leave here in 4 or more years, so they don’t even recognize the problem here.
Before this was built, the places around here were very very calm.
The calmness is lost forever now…
So this is a bad point…
Of course, as this is very big, you can find many items here, and it is very useful.
