Shokoku Gotochi Plaza

Forgot to buy those all-important local souvenirs on your journeys through Japan? Not to worry: located within First Avenue Tokyo Station, the labyrinthine underground shopping mall at Tokyo Station, Shokoku Gotochi Plaza lets you shop for snacks, drinks and knickknacks from practically every region in the country. Look out for the ‘kuramoto zanmai’, an assortment of chocolate bonbons with various types of regional sake inside, or reach for Hokkaido’s distinctive breast-shaped ‘oppai chocolate’.
