There's an article in Time Out on shopping in Tokyo with some good info for travelers:
With state-of-the-art gadgetry, cult fashion and mind-blowing department stores – plus ‘Lost in Translation’ moments along the way – Tokyo is the place to go for thoroughly modern retail kicks. The pavements are thronged with people, all of them extremely well behaved: they won’t even think of crossing the road until the traffic lights say they can. The roads are crammed with slow-moving, strangely unfamiliar cars, so retro you’d think they were ancient but for the fact that they gleam. Electronic advertising hoardings sing quaint tum-ti-tum tunes for even the most sober and serious of sales messages. Welcome to Tokyo.
