Tokyo is chock full of zakka stores, which are essentially shops filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items you never knew you needed until you see them. While these stores are often a jumble of random goods, Zakka Mikansei has some sort of overlying theme to tie the store together. Mikansei specialises in unique and colourful goods sourced from other Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and China.
Many of the items are extremely affordable including hair accessories, socks, cute plastic tableware and retro vinyl sandals. If you can find it in yourself to sift through the entire shop, you’ll also discover a collection of original items like handmade accessories by local artists and consignment vintage clothing.
