Between the shopping and the sightseeing, Yokohama is a great place for a day trip out of Tokyo, and a must-see for tourists. There are beautiful gardens and fascinating cultural areas like Yokohama Chinatown, all right on Tokyo Bay, with the refreshing breeze blowing in off the water. If you’re looking for the best souvenirs from Japan, though, Yokohama has some highly recommended shopping malls. Forget the cramped and crowded shops of Tokyo! Spend a day in JOINUS Yokohama, Yokohama’s biggest mall, attached right to Yokohama Station, and the huge variety of stores and restaurants will have you wondering why you bothered anywhere else in the first place.

The Best Spots for Japanese Souvenirs at JOINUS
The huge mall has plenty of popular shops, selling everything from high-end and fast fashion to beauty products, and even groceries. Muji? Gap? Diesel? Sure, you'll find them in JOINUS. But this time we went on a search for stores selling what you might call ~variety goods~, the kind of Japanese items that make perfect gifts and souvenirs for everyone from your parents to your best friend. We found fun items of all kinds, both decorative and useful, all with a little Japanese flavor!
① Loverary
This shop's name comes from a mix between "love" and "library", and you'll find a variety of lovely items and a few interesting books inside. Loverary comes from German brand Feiler, and the goods available have an atmosphere somewhere between European fairytale and Japanese kawaii culture.

Off The Beaten Track Yokohama Sightseeing
Got all your shopping done? We recommend you spend the morning at JOINUS, and then grab some lunch there, to avoid some of the startling AM sunlight while you're wandering Yokohama. Once you're ready to hit the streets, though, we've got a plan for the rest of the day! It's time to see the city.
