Pasalubong shopping at Don Quijote

[UPDATE 30 AUGUST 2022] Don Quijote has a new Discount Coupon!

The Yokoso Coupon has been discontinued since March 31, 2022. The coupon is not valid anymore.

If you’ve just started planning your first trip to Japan, open up Google Maps and search for the nearest Don Quijote store to your hotel. For the uninitiated, Don Quijote is basically like a department store that has everything you think you’d need (and then some). Both locals and tourists alike flock to Donki because of the wide variety of things you can buy there at very reasonable prices.

As tourists, we love going there because it’s an all-in-one shop where we can buy all our pasalubong for our family and friends back home, as well as find stuff for ourselves. Whether it’s regional souvenirs, household items, clothes, or toys, there’s a high chance that Don Quijote in Japan has what you’re looking for. Best of all, you can get goods there tax-free, and if you’re using this FREE Yokoso! Discount coupon, you get as much as ¥2,000 of your total!

Not all Don Quijote shops are the same though: some are Mega Donkis, which are multi-storey stores that have a dizzying array of goods, some are open 24-hours (usually those in the big cities), while some are mostly stocked with goods that you’d need if you are living in Japan. Here’s a small glimpse into the Nakasu branch of Don Quijote in Fukuoka.

Don Quijote Fukuoka
Ichiran, one of the most popular ramen shops in Japan, sells instant versions of their ramen for you to enjoy back home. Packs of these are prominently displayed inside Donki in Nakasukawabata.

What’s a trip to Japan without taking home some KitKats? Each prefecture in Japan have their own regional KitKat flavor, and Donki stocks some of these, so you can get a great variety to take home.

You can also buy sandwiches and other hot foods, but of course, since these have to be consumed ASAP, they are not included your tax-free shopping.

Kuro Ramen
When you’ve worked up an appetite after all that shopping, you can head to Kuro Sushi for a quick but filling lunch, just one floor above the Don Quijote Nakasu store in Fukuoka.

Traveling to Kanagawa prefecture soon? The Don Quijote store in Takamatsu is offering a ¥500 discount coupon when you book a roundtrip shuttle bus ride from Takamatsu station. You can use this discount coupon alongside the FREE Yokoso discount coupons. This means if you used the discount coupon for your ¥30,000 shopping, you get a maximum of ¥2,500 off with the shuttle bus discount! On top of that, you can still claim a tax refund, if you’re a tourist and you’ll be taking your goods out of Japan. How awesome is that?

If you do end up having a bite at Kura Sushi after shopping at Donki, presenting your bus ticket gives you one free plate, providing your individual bill is over ¥1,000. Not bad, eh?
