By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

When traveling to Japan, shopping is a must-do activity for many tourists, and picking up cosmetic and pharmacy products is a great opportunity to shop for family and friends. The drugstores at popular Japanese tourist spots not only offer a wide variety of goods but also provide increasingly thoughtful services and discounts; in addition to offering tax-free or refund services, stores also employ Chinese-speaking staff to make the shopping experience more convenient and relaxing for visitors. Located at the bustling intersection of Asakusa’s Nakamise-dori shopping street, the popular drugstore chain くすりの福太郎 (Kusuri no Fuku-tarou) is a great place to shop for affordable items on the outskirts of Tokyo. The first floor features pharmaceuticals and daily goods, while the second floor offers cosmetics and best-selling items—everything you could need. It's beloved by both locals and tourists.
