Tokyo is quite an expensive city to live in, compare to other neighboring Asian capital or even compare it to the West. No wonder why most of its local and foreign residents plus the occasional tourists are looking for places to shop where the purchasing power of 1,000 Yen is better than your nearby supermarket.
The offered goods on this market ranges from dried fish to fresh seafood, shoes, clothes, jewelries, toiletries, perfumes, bags, fruits, variety of nuts, key chains and things that are cute enough for a souvenir. Ameyoko is a combination of your typical dry and wet market without any separation-well, let me put it this way, you can see a fish stall beside a shoe shop.
