Immediately next to Takadanobaba station is Big Box, an aptly-named building with a couple of shopping floors that attract a lively, youthful crowd. It's mostly womens' clothing stores, ranging from Bohemian and lingerie to alternative and solidly mainstream fashion, but there's also a hundred-yen shop, a couple of cafes and more. Neither touristy nor high-end, it's a fun place to go and shop like young Japanese do, then to admire your purchases over a coffee or cake.

Big Box Takadanobaba
A cheap'n'cheerful student district shopping centre

One shopper shopping
The building is very aptly named
There are often goods for sale at the front entrance of the building
More event sale racks at the front
One of the stores inside
More womens' fashion
It looks like I was there in sale season
And some fashion for younger women
Snacks and drinks in the hundred-yen shop
Tinsel and other hundred-yen goodies
It's just as easy to find after dark
