Super Convenient, Directly Connected to Asakusa Station! Enjoy Efficient Souvenir Shopping at the Newly Opened "Don Quijote Asakusa EKIMISE Store"
- Written by: LIVE JAPAN Coupon & Deals Team
On June 25, 2026, the highly accessible "Don Quijote Asakusa EKIMISE Store", directly connected to the station, opened in Asakusa, one of Tokyo's most popular tourist destinations! Let us introduce this spotlighted new spot where you can efficiently shop for popular Japanese products in a short time between sightseeing and traveling!
Shop Quickly Between Sightseeing! 3 Charms of the "Asakusa EKIMISE Store"
1. Choose Without Hesitation! Carefully Selected Items and the "Souvenir Ranking"
Don Quijote (Donki) is famous for its overwhelming product lineup, with items packed tightly into every corner. In fact, the existing "Don Quijote Asakusa Store," located within walking distance, is perfect for those who want to take their time exploring a wide variety of goods.
On the other hand, the new "Asakusa EKIMISE Store" intentionally focuses on "efficient shopping in a short time." Inside the compact and easy-to-navigate store, highly popular items among foreign tourists—such as cosmetics, medicines, snacks, character goods, and Japanese sundries—are carefully selected and displayed.



Especially convenient are the "Souvenir Ranking Corners" set up in each category. Since you can see "Japan's current recommendations" at a glance, you can smoothly find foolproof popular items without any prior research.




2. "Directly Connected to the Station"—Safe Even on Rainy Days or with Heavy Luggage

Traveling can often be affected by the weather and the weight of your luggage. This store's greatest advantage is its overwhelming accessibility from Asakusa Station, which serves three train lines.
It is directly connected to the Tobu Skytree Line "Asakusa Station" and is conveniently located just a 1-minute walk from the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line "Asakusa Station." You can stop by without getting wet during your sightseeing travels or on a suddenly rainy day. Even if you buy plenty of souvenirs and your luggage gets heavy, you can get straight on the train and head to your next destination or hotel—a huge benefit for travelers.
3. "Experience-Based" Shopping to Feel Japanese Culture

A unique feature of this store is that you can experience Japanese culture and entertainment rather than just buying souvenirs. The interior is designed with a traditional Japanese "Wa" atmosphere typical of Asakusa, allowing you to feel the local charm just by walking around.


Furthermore, services are available to make your purchased souvenirs even more special. By using the name-engraving service for popular "chopsticks" (planned as a limited-time offer for the opening), you can create a one-of-a-kind personalized gift. Additionally, travelers who purchase over a certain amount using Tax-Free shopping can spin a "Free Gacha" (capsule toy machine), a staple in Japan. The excitement of not knowing what you'll get will surely become a wonderful travel memory.


Tourist-Friendly! A Stress-Free Shopping Environment
Designed specifically as an inbound (foreign tourist) focused store, even first-time visitors to Japan can shop with peace of mind.
- While the purposes of Japanese medicines and cosmetics can sometimes be hard to decipher from their packaging, clear layouts and multilingual support allow you to intuitively find what you need.




- Tax-Free shopping is fully supported, and the process is streamlined to reduce waiting times at the checkout.
