“DECODEN”: bling bling styled cellphones

decoden

We call a cell phone decorated with Swarovski or pretty plastic parts “DECODEN”. Just like the nail arts, we decorate our mobile phone, NINTENDO DS or even digital camera.

There are a lot of decoration tools and parts available, or you can get a pre-decorated sheet, which you’d only need to seal on. So if you’d come to Tokyo, why don’t you try “DECODEN”?

Tabio!(socks stores in Japan ?)

tabio_01.jpgReasonable price, great quality and so pretty colors and patterns – I would definitely recommend those socks by a Japanese company called “Tabio.” for souvenirs!

Yes I was about to do that, then I just have realized that they introduce products worldwide through their online shop.

The most popular product is colored-tights! You can choose ones from over 20 different colors. In Japan, you can find a little corner box “three for 1000 yen” in front of their shops.

If you feel like trying fun-patterned socks, or unique Tabi or toe socks, that’s where you should check!
