Central Mall Tokyo shopping 2026 prices normal?
6800 yen is the tourist markup, not 2026 pricing.
Partly true, but some of it is just the mall itself. Central Mall rents are brutal, so even the no-name shops in there price like that. Walk five minutes to the side streets and the same tee is 2500.
some of it yeah but not all. i popped into a no name shop in Koenji last month and paid 1800 for a tee, plain, decent cotton. tourist spots tax you, but the markup follows the rent, not the passport.
Rent, not passport: side streets five minutes off.
Uniqlo U, 1500 yen on sale.
yeah the U line sale racks in Shinjuku are where it's at, tho sizes thin out fast by day two
the U line drops in late january too, that's when the real cuts hit the racks
late jan is right but the shibuya branch clears stock faster than anywhere else, go first week
that's the sale price tho, full price U tee is 1990. check the flagship in Ginza, bigger stock than the small shops so you actually get your size on day one
GU on the 3rd floor, 1200 yen basics
Ocean Center in Tokyo still worth a visit in 2026?
The 2024 reno mostly added deeper tanks and a small cafe upstairs, nothing huge. tbh the outdoor penguin area is the best part now and that side rarely gets packed. Weekdays after 2pm are dead quiet if u can swing it.
Penguin feeding at 1:30 is the real draw.
Cafe upstairs closes at 4 though, so dont count on coffee if u show up late.
Weekend entry tickets sell out online by Friday night, so book ahead even for a Saturday morning.
Honestly the outdoor bit being quiet tracks with what I saw, but the indoor tanks felt just as busy as before to me. Maybe I went at a bad time.
weekday arvos r dead quiet but check the school holiday calendar first, that flips fast
go on a weekday morning if u can, saturdays after 11 the touch pool area gets mobbed by strollers
yeah sat mornings right at opening, 9:30ish
true, and the stroller wall gets worse around the jellyfish tanks cuz thats where everyone parks. fwiw my kid still loves teh touch pool so its worth the early start.
