A great place to stock up on bargain souveniers and gifts before heading home. You can find anything from origami paper, crockery and toys not to mention all manner of household goods
They're everywhere. There's a nine story one in Funibashi on the outskirts of Tokyo.

A great place for bargains maybe, but what is behind the 100 yen shops? The goods are mostly from China where they will have been produced with little respect for the rights of the workers. If you don't mind how much blood was spilled to get you something cheap then fine.
