The 100 Yen Store

Here in Japan, instead of 99 cent stores, there are 100 Yen stores. I seem to frequent the 100 Yen store quite a bit on my way back to the Lighthouse and I thought I could tell you how cool they are. First off, its the 100 Yen store, which means everything costs 100 yen, and because it is only 100 yen its cheaper than the dollar store. I think right now yen is running at like 117 to the dollar so really everything in the 100 yen costs around 85 cents. Honestly, everything, well not everything, but a lot of things to me seem are worth more than 100 yen, so every time I shop there I feel like I'm getting a deal.
The 100 Yen store has pretty much everything you need. You can get school supplies, Christmas decorations (its Christmas in the stores already), socks, blank CDS, good food that I like, really gross food that I'm never going to try, and even candy. Pretty much if you ever visit Japan you need to go to the 100 Yen store. I provided a picture of a sign for the 100 Yen store so that you will be able to find it. Normally there are signs, posters, and more signs that let you know you are in the 100 Yen store so you can't miss it.
