Part 1 is here, about 3 years ago.
So this time, we went to Osaka (Same Places and something new) since It is the first time for my brother and his family; and then went to Nagoya.
Sharing with you some Souvenirs, Pasalubong and the Only in Japan cute finds in this post!
If you see the Tax Free Sign! Then at least you know you will get an 8% discount for the total of your purchases. Most shopping area does have this sign all over Japan! =) Enjoy it.
Don Quijote stores are all over Japan as well. If you see this cute Penguin along with Don Quijote, then its the store that offers a lot of Pasalubong. They are a whole building full of snacks, sweets and chocolates, branded clothes, bags, etc that can be bought for a discount.
Also if you want to get some chocolates that are cheap, but unique to Japan, these single packed chocolates only costs 32Yen. the larger ones are at 90 yen. Very good Pasalubong if you have a lot of friends and officemates! :D
You can also buy some Geisha packed candies and they are really cute. One pack is about 500yen.
Other Souvenirs and Pasalubong you can find:
This guy here is famous in Osaka. I find it a bit expensive so I haven't bought any. :P
Each bottle costs about 170 yen to 300 yen.
If you are a fan of Marvels, there are also a lot of these cute characters.
If you have a niece or a nephew, a plushie may be your choice. :D There's a lot of them in the shopping areas.
* We've been to Kyoto Starbucks, Osaka, and Downtown Nagoya. But these mugs we've only seen in Chubu Centrair Nagoya Airport. I am not sure if they are also available in other locations. =)
Souvenirs for the oldies, who loves a bit of massage... these candy colored massagers only costs P650 each because of tax free and additional discount if you use a visa card in Yodobashi department stores.

Chocolates, Biscuits and Corn Snacks
Don't miss out this Doraemon Look Alike Snack! Its really tasty. The Purple and the Blue flavor is my favorite.
Takoyaki Flavored Pringles
I know Macadamia Chocolates by Meiji is available here, but its really cheap in Japan! =)
Other Meiji Products are also available, like this Macha Biscuits. Its really good, btw!
since You are in Japan, then you should not miss out on their especially unique Kitkat Flavors.
The Matcha (Green Tea) Powder is a must. perfect for tea lovers. This is the 2nd time we bought these and though they are a bit expensive, the taste is really good, very similar to the ones served in rotating sushi restaurant in Dotonbori.

And, if you like Coke (Coca Cola), then you must also try to look for these famous Japan cities' designs.
The Nagoya Gold is available in Nagoya Airport, found it in the food court on 4th floor near the Chubu Centrair Sky Deck.
Others are available all over the Cities. Be careful to check out the Vendo Machines too. They are much cheaper in Vendo Machines than in the tourist spots stores.

And for Family members, and special someone - you might want to give them something special. These are Starbucks mug with different designs and Cities. each is about 1800yen. I kind of picked based on the colors, but there are like 10 or a dozen designs and Japanese Cities you can choose from, Osaka, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Kyoto, etc.

There are also a lot and cheap souvenirs like chopsticks and shot glasses. Take time to choose the colors and the designs, each costs only about 50 pesos if you convert it to our money. Great gifts as they do not look cheap at all.
There are of course several designs and types of Fridge magnet that you can choose as another Souvenirs. I will share those that I got and update this post soon. :D
