The drugstore to visit in Japan

If you are a skin care nerd, you will want to visit this drugstore in Japan.

Matsumoto kiyoshi (or matsukiyo as the locals call it) is Japan's largest and most popular drugstore. It is instantly recognisable with the neon yellow and black signage. It always has a good selection of skin care products and is a great place to discover the latest Japanese trends. The big branches in Shibuya and Harajuku are well versed in tourists and they will have some English displays and English speaking staff.

Lots of my favourite brands are sold here including Curel, Shiseido and Hada labo.
