An amazing district filled with an overwhelming amount if cookery shops. Knives, fake food, tableware and anything food related you can think of. Tax free shopping for tourists is available but you must bring your receipts to the Tax Free Office in the middle of Dougu Street where your tax will be refunded to you in cash. For a foodie that loves cooking this area is a must when you are in Tokyo. Easy to get to on public transport.

This is the kitchenware town area of Tokyo as all the stores here are focused on kitchen supplies and related. It is worth a walk down here after you are finished walking down Tanuki Dori St. (where there are different lucky tanuki statues seen). There are a variety of personal kitchen /restaurant related items that are interesting to view such as the many plastic foods used in window displays throughout Japan. They are very realistic looking! Don't miss the giant chef with the white hat located directly above the Niimi Building on the corner of Kappabashi Street.

If you are looking for kitchen gadgets for Japanese cooking, this is a great place to shop. The prices are reasonable and the selection is large. You can find a lot of stores specializing in high-quality Japanese kitchen knives here.
