What are the best souvenirs from Japan? I love bringing stuff back for family and friends. What is the most fun gift for the folks back home? |

a few ideas .. It depends on your budget and tastes. Here are some ideas:1. Japanese professional baseball hats ... these are cool. Who can beat names like "Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters". 2. Hot spring bath salts. 3. Manga (japanese comics) and other nerdy stuff such as anime. 4. Japanese Calligraphy set 5. Japanese tea sets 6. It might be obvious ... but chopsticks!! 7. Another obvious one ... sake! 8. Japanese candies and snacks are pretty interesting. Pocky is cool. There are also hundreds of kinds of traditional snacks. 9. Toys - there are loads of cool toys in Japan. 10. Engrish tshirts. There are many strange english shirts that are easy to find. 11. Yukata ... the cheaper more casual version of the kimono. You should get some Geta (shoes) too. 12. Origami paper. 13. Japanese dolls are unique but scary. (ie Hakata doll) 14. Food samples made of plastic or wax that you can see in front of restaurants. (get these in Kappabashi in Tokyo.) 15. A Hanko - name stamp ... maybe you could get your name converted to Kanji first. (if you have an english name for example) 16. JPop! 17. Japanese fashion magazines are interesting. Pick up a copy of 18. Charms from temples and shrines (Omamori) |

omochi snacks Snacks made from omochi are popular everywhere. Buy some daifuku. It is pronounced die fuku! How fun is that ;). |
