2 locations·Shinjuku Station (East Exit)
Shinjuku has two Donki locations within walking distance of the east exit — one near Kabukicho and one closer to the station.

Shin-Okubo
K-BeautySkincare
1 location·Shin-Okubo Station
Shin-Okubo is Tokyo's Koreatown, and its Don Quijote reflects that — Korean beauty brands sit alongside the standard Japanese drugstore staples. If you are after K-beauty at Japanese discount prices, this is the store. The neighborhood itself is worth the trip: Korean BBQ, convenience stores stocked with K-snacks, and beauty shops on every corner.

Akihabara
ElectronicsAnime GoodsSnacks
1 location·Akihabara Station (Electric Town Exit)
The Akihabara Donki sits in the middle of Electric Town, which means the electronics and anime goods sections get more floor space than most other locations. It is a solid stop if you are already doing the Akihabara rounds. The snack selection is reliable, and prices on beauty basics are competitive with the bigger Shibuya store.

Ginza
BeautyPremium Skincare
1 location·Shinbashi Station
The Ginza location is tucked near Shinbashi station, just south of the main Ginza shopping strip. It draws a mix of office workers and tourists looking to stock up on premium skincare without the department store markup. The beauty floor here tends to carry higher-end Japanese cosmetics brands alongside the usual drugstore staples.

Ikebukuro has two Donki locations, both near the station.

Good spot to combine with a visit to Sunshine City or the surrounding shopping arcades.

Ueno & Okachimachi
SouvenirsBudget Finds
2 locations·Ueno Station (Hirokoji Exit)
Ueno and Okachimachi have two Donki stores serving a neighborhood that leans heavily tourist and local commuter. The souvenir and snack sections are well-stocked given the proximity to the park and Ameyoko market. If you are finishing a day around Ueno, it is a convenient last stop before heading back to your hotel.

1 location·Asakusa Station
The Asakusa Donki is a short walk from Senso-ji and catches a lot of foot traffic from tourists finishing their temple visit. Staff here are used to helping foreign shoppers with tax-free paperwork.

Late NightParty Supplies
1 location·Roppongi Station
Roppongi's Donki stays open late and pulls a crowd that reflects the neighborhood — tourists, expats, and nightlife regulars. The party supplies section is notably well-stocked. It works well as a late-night stop for snacks, drinks, or last-minute drugstore needs after dinner.

1 location·Nakameguro Station
Nakameguro is one of the quieter Donki locations in Tokyo — smaller footprint, less crowded, and easier to move through than the Shibuya or Shinjuku stores. It draws mostly locals from the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Good option if you want to avoid the tourist-heavy stores and still pick up the essentials.

Pro Tips
Tax-Free Shopping
Bring your passport. Spend over ¥5,000 (excluding tax) in a single visit to qualify. The tax-free counter is usually on the ground floor or basement — look for the 'Tax Free' signs.
Best Times to Visit
Weekday mornings (10am-12pm) are quietest. Avoid weekend afternoons and the hour after nearby trains arrive from the airport. Late-night visits (after 10pm) are surprisingly calm.
Floor Guide Strategy
Beauty and cosmetics are almost always on floor 3 or higher. Snacks and food on the ground floor. Electronics in the basement or top floor. Each store has a different layout — check the floor guide by the escalators.
Don Quijote App
Download the 'majica' app for additional member discounts. Works for tourists too — just register with your passport number.
Payment
All stores accept credit cards, IC cards (Suica/Pasmo), and cash. Some accept WeChat Pay and Alipay. Tax-free purchases must be paid in full at once (no splitting).
