The Daiso

Daiso, Flets, Hyaku en Shop.

These shops are all 100 yen stores.


Continuing on with the store blogging my most frequented store and maybe my favourite since getting to Niihama has been the Daiso.

The Daiso and the other stores listed above quickly become everyone’s favourite stores when they move to Japan. Inside these stores you can find almost everything you need for 105 yen. There are some exceptions where you might be paying a little more, but I haven’t seen anything over 500 yen at any of the stores.  I’ve pretty much furnished my entire apartment with things found inside the Daiso.

I’ve purchased towels, fittings for my washroom, laundry detergent, a Swiffer, vacuum bags, paper, notebooks, flour, honey and tea. I’ve found out that you can pretty much find everything you need in the Daiso and even though it is a dollar store, it’s got a lot higher quality stuff than you would find at home. I think that I went so often to one closet to me so many times when I first moved in that the ladies running the cash point knew who I was.

I’ve been to 3 Daiso’s here in Niihama, but I have yet to visit the large one in the Fuji Grande.

I know that when I move back home I am going to miss just getting on my bike and taking a quick stop just to pick up something cheap and useful. If you ever find yourself living in Japan make sure you find your nearest Hyaku en shop so that you can get everything you need.
