2 Best Places to Shop in Beyond Central Tokyo, Tokyo

This showroom and shop features exquisite examples of Edo Kiriko glassware, a traditional art that dates to the end of the Edo Period (1603–1868). Artisan Ryuichi Kamukura opened this store in the 1980s and is one of the most respected names in glassware. His subtle rice-chain patterns are especially popular.

This chain store pops up in several Tokyo neighborhoods and is worth a stop for its distinctly Japanese quirk: it stocks nothing but canned foods from Japan and the rest of the world.
