Whenever I tell people I’m going to Japan, many immediately ask me to do some shopping for them. Among the wide range of items, cosmetics and small goods are the most popular and easiest to carry — they make great souvenirs or personal use items. Coupled with the Japanese government adding more cosmetics to its tax-free list this year, plus the Japanese Yen hitting a record 17-year low, all these incentives make it feel like you simply can’t not shop. Below, we’ve specially compiled a list of the most popular must-buy small items at Japanese drugstores. If you’re not sure where to start, consider these picks.
