Supermaket for sourvenirs...

Located in the middle of Omotesando in Harajuku area, it is both convenient and excellent for last minute souvenir shopping.

(Below is quoted from a web guide):

Possibly the most famous of souvenir shops, Oriental Bazaar is also the most imaginatively laid out. There are four floors and the higher you go, the more expensive the items get. The basement stocks bright, cheap and cheerful, touristy items, while the top floor offers antiques and traditional Japanese kimono and crafts. It is notably one of the best places to buy affordable and beautiful, second-hand original kimonos. Yukata (bathrobes), ceramics, towels and papercraft are some of the more popular items.

Macau in the middle of Shibuya!

Paradise Macau is a really great cafe/restaurant all decked out to make you feel like you are somewhere in the southeast Asia.

The place is in a quieter district by the busy centre of Shibuya, just a step away from the end of the 'Sentagai'.

If you find yourself lost in the Shibuya crowd and feel like a retreat away from all the lights and noise but still want to be part of the Shibuya scene, then this might be a nice stopover for a break.

The place is surprisingly spacious and relaxing and the food is excellent!

Cafe Canal is a fantastic place for meeting friends and having a relaxing drink right in the heart of Tokyo. Those of you who may find yourself in the vicinity of Yotsuya, Ichigaya, Iidabashi, or Ochanomizu in Tokyo should definitely go to this cafe to relax.

It has a waterfront stryle terrace and restaurant, and very close to JR and subway stations. It is situated right by one of the formal moats that made up the Edo city, and looks out to JR Chuo Line, which, when you are there at night, presents an interesting view of brightly-lit trains speeding past.

In a busy and crowded city like Tokyo, a place like Canal Cafe is hard to come by and you will definitely enjoy the retreat from your busy sightseeing schedule.
