MEGA Don Quijote Ito (MEGAドン・キホーテ 伊東店) is a chaotic, wonderful retail wonderland. From quirky souvenirs to everyday essentials to a full-blown grocery section, this discount store does it all — and does it affordably. Think Costco, Bass Pro Shop, and a Japanese variety store combined, minus the membership fee. Rating: 5/5.
Full Review: There are stores that sell products, and then there are stores that sell experiences. MEGA Don Quijote Ito (MEGAドン・キホーテ 伊東店) falls into the latter category. Designated a “discount store” on Google Maps, it’s technically accurate — but that label barely scratches the surface of what this place offers.
Step inside, and you’re met with a retail playground that somehow manages to be both overwhelming and exhilarating. Picture a fusion of Costco’s bulk value, Bass Pro Shop’s niche appeal, and a Japanese omiyage (souvenir) emporium, all wrapped in neon signage and impossibly low prices. It’s part chaos, part consumer paradise, and entirely entertaining.
The stock here is immense and eclectic — everything from groceries, cosmetics, and household essentials to novelty socks, instant ramen, electronics, and regional souvenirs. One aisle offers beef bowls and ready-made sushi, while the next might sell camping gear or anime plushies. And yes, there’s even a grocery section that holds its own against many standalone supermarkets, with fresh produce, frozen goods, and an assortment of snacks that feel like a culinary treasure hunt.
What’s truly baffling (in the best way) is the value. There’s no membership fee. No gimmicky checkout tricks. Just straightforward affordability, whether you're shopping for daily essentials or indulging in a shopping spree filled with everything from rare KitKat flavors to quirky Japanese gadgets.
The staff were polite and efficient, keeping things moving despite the maze-like layout, and the store was surprisingly clean for a place that feels like a dense, multi-themed retail theme park.
Don Quijote has long been a favorite of both tourists and locals, and this MEGA location in Ito captures all the best elements: convenience, variety, uniqueness, and wallet-friendly pricing. It’s hard to think of a store abroad that offers the same breadth without losing focus or driving up costs.
If you’re in Ito and looking to stock up, splurge, or simply wander in retail wonder, MEGA Don Quijote delivers. It’s not just a store — it’s a...
Read moreIt’s a Mega Don Quijote in Shizuoka! This branch has too many goods as you can expect of a typical donki. We shopped for everything we needed for our camping trip and we were able to get everything on our list.
