Located right next to Termina is Arcakit Kinshicho shopping mall. “Kit” has eleven floors, and a magnificent variety of goods sold at affordable prices. The mall is popular with locals and tourists.
Offerings in the mall include fashion, beauty, interior, daily needs, food/gourmet and dining. The mall has some flagship stores – Daiso and Uniqlo which are a must visit.
This shopping destination includes a viewing floor on top of the building for an outstanding view of the Tokyo Skytree and skyline.

Daiso Kinshicho
Daiso is world famous. The store in Kinshicho is the largest one in Tokyo.
Everything you’re looking for is here; fashion, travel goods, stationery, mobile and computer accessories, baby gear, home items and a lot more.
The store prices most items at 100 yen, and if an item costs more, they label it. You’ll love the store as much as I do.
Make sure you allow for about two hours to see everything. Get there early, as it can get quite crowded later on.

Book-Off Kinshicho
Book-Off Lotte City in Kinshicho is a booklover’s dream. The store mainly sells Japanese books, music, gaming accessories and DVDs, but has an English book section where I found some wonderful bargains.
Book-Off is in the Lotte City Hotel Kinshicho building. A great place to find your next book.
