It is to small deer what Okunoshima is to bunnies, but it's only a 40 minute express train from Namba instead of a full day journey, and the Todai-ji Temple there is phenomenal.<br /><br />Thanks for the great list of travel tips, Noah!Mike Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530586676883603659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17232051.post-64481197375532656212018-07-08T09:18:34.130-04:002018-07-08T09:18:34.130-04:00For Tokyo, I would recommend Nihonbashi area, fun,...For Tokyo, I would recommend Nihonbashi area, fun, old, and has a great washi shop --http://www.ozuwashi.net/en/. Kappabashi, near Asakusa, is the kitchen goods area, best price on knives, kitchen ware, and etc. For folk crafts from around Japan, bingoya is good, if out of the way, http://bingoya.tokyo, and for art supplies, Shinjuku Sekaido is great, Ginza Ito-ya also interesting, and for general shopping stuff, Tokyu hands is always fun.
