If you are to look for something fun for a gift or for yourself, Village Vanguard is definitely one of the right places to look around! Their collection is interesting and in a sense, I’d say you could reach something fun easier and quicker than you manage to do so from Tokyu Hands or LOFT.

New Shop! Marui Curren, Shinjuku

★casual wear & goods★
Marui Curren
address: 3-18-1 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 160-0022
phone: 03-3354-0103
open: 11am-9pm

marui curren 225x300 New Shop!  Marui Curren, Shinjuku There are several Marui fashion departments in Shinjuku. What makes Shinjuku Marui differentiate from other Marui in Japan is, I suppose that they have specific concept and targeted customers.Take Marui Current for example, this department focuses on younger customers so that they have inexpensive shops, compared to other Marui. It’s remarkable that Marui has UNIQLO store located inside. (This UNIQLO is a special sort that targets only wemen in their 20′s and so, it’s different from ordinary UNIQLO or UNIQLO T-shirt store in Harajuku.) It’s so unbelievable from how Marui used to be so far.

When I took the photo, it was very previous day that Marui Curren opens, and so, in fact, I finally can visit there some time later.
Looking through every shop, I found 2 major interesting shops.
1-Bling Me! … deco (a.k.a decoden for example) shop
2-Village Vanguard … various funny goods shop

I have some photos from Village Vanguard.

As for decoden store, I’ll write about this individually.
If you drop in Shinjuku, why don’t you take a look into those stores, if you have some extra time off? :p
