What is Don Quijote?
Don Quijote is a chain of discount stores found across Japan and in some countries in Asia and some states in the USA. They carry a wide range of goods from kitchen items to second-hand luxury items. Sometimes called Donki, it is also where you can buy some regional souvenir products from different prefectures. They also have their own home brand, Jonetz or Jonetsu Kakaku, which delivers great value at affordable prices. They also offer tax-free shopping, which makes it very popular among foreign tourists in Japan.
So why is Don Quijote popular among Filipino tourists in Japan?
Pinoys find it hard to say no to a bargain! Aside from the low prices and wide range of products available, some of the Don Quijote stores in the big cities in Japan are open 24 hours. This means shopping at any time of the day or night, without having to sacrifice precious sightseeing and selfie time.
So when planning for your Japan trip, ask your travel agent to include Don Quijote in your itinerary. Visit their website to find the nearest store in the cities you’re traveling.
