Our ryokan is in an old part of Tokyo, with more bikes than cars in the lane outside our window due to its narrowness, which makes it quiet at night. There are a lot of tiny traditional specialty shops, selling things like rice, seafood, sushi, Japanese paper and tea cups and pots - with a 7/11, Mister Donuts and 100 yen shop sprinkled in between. We've been to a few of the famous shopping strips and centres as well, and although there are lots of global brands (like Gap, Zara and Japan's own ubiquitous Uniqlo), there are many more I've never heard of which makes for great variety.
Here's Shinjuku - full of electronics stores where we managed to get a charger for the e-reader, and Imo with her purchases in Harajuku (look in the bottom left corner).
