If you come to Fukuoka (or Japan in general), one store you must visit is the crazy wonderland that is Don Quijote. It is often referred to as Donki by Japanese people because of the shortening of the katakana name: ドンキホーテ –> ドンキ .
Inside you fill find a store with winding aisles, goods packed to the ceiling, and the song “Miracle Shopping” playing over and over again. It sounds strange, but once you’re in, it’s almost impossible to get out. You can find a range of electronics, cellphone straps, Hello Kitty slippers, food, groceries, Halloween costumes, jewelry/watches, etc. Anything the heart desires can be found at Donki!
And the Don Quijote penguin is all over the store, showing you discounts and telling you what’s new. Be sure to take a picture with him! ★
