Don Quijote (ドン・キホーテ) is a large scale superstore where you can find pretty much anything at discount prices.
Also known as simply “DONKI”, These stores can be found all across Japan and are highly recognizable from far away for its flashy entrance with the penguin mascot. DONKI’s are highly popular among both Japanese people and foreign visitors.
It is very convenient because most DONKI’s are open 24 hours and you will find almost anything that you’re looking for. Food, snacks, souvenirs, cosmetics, skincare products, luxury items, travel goods, clothing, accessories, sports equipment, stationery, cleaning supplies, electronics, toys, party goods, etc… You name it, they most probably got it.
There are also tax-free cashiers for foreign visitors which is another attractive point for foreign visitors.
The interior is stuffed with goods in such a way that it can get overwhelming just walking around. It is definitely an experience.
If you want to buy a souvenir for a friend or family member, but are not quite sure what to buy, this is the perfect place to come.
All DONKI stores are quite big, but there are also “MEGA DONKI” stores which are especially huge! I will introduce to you 5 of the largest Don Quijote stores plus a Mega Donki store in Tokyo.
1. Mega Don Quijote Shibuya
Mega Don Quijote Shibuya (MEGAドン・キホーテ 渋谷本店) is one of the few Mega Donki located in Tokyo.
Shibuya used to have a regular Doki, but the store was relocated in made into a Mega Donki which opened in 2017.
The store is located just 5 minutes from Shibuya station and has 6 floors plus 2 basement floors.
What’s really convenient is that the B1 floor is a supermarket where many locals come to shop for their groceries.

Born and raised in Costa Rica, I started living in Tokyo from college. I love traveling within Japan & around the world. Since I wasn’t born in Japan, I know the cultural impact that you can get when visiting Japan for the first time and what you might be worried about before your trip. And I’ve lived long enough to somewhat understand the nuances of the Japanese culture that make this country such an attractive place to visit. Hopefully I can provide to you both the information you’re looking for and the information you didn’t know you needed to know.
