Shopping Kokusai Street

Sunday, October 20, 2013
We went to Kokusai street the other weekend when we did the hug tug-of-war but didn't get to do any shopping. So, last weekend Logan and me went back to shop and explore. 
This street is a mile long shopping fest with tons of stores and little shops and food places. Most of the stores had key chains, Shisa dogs (little clay figures they put outside for good luck) and packaged snacks. It was interesting that all the souvenir places sold lots of strange little cookies and chips and alcohol. Some places that is all they had or it was at least more then half of what they sold.
The store below was my favorite of all the shops. It was also one of the most expensive. I didn't get anything but I wanted to get everything!
Off the main road, there are also lots and lots of little markets. I thought they were even more fun to go in and find little treasures in the little vendors. 
Next time we go, I think I want to spend more time in the little side streets. After a while all the bigger stores had mostly all the same things but the little ones were way more unique.
