Odaibargain / VenusFort Bargain

Odaiba malls VenusFort, DiverCity, Aqua City and Decks Tokyo Beach team up again for this annual discount bonanza. Starting December 26, over 240 shops in the area will be cutting prices, conducting special sales and putting on all kinds of related events. From New Year's Day, the traditional 'lucky bag' hawking takes centre stage. This one's always great for updating your wardrobe for the new year, but beware – the crowds can be suffocating.
