Shopping for your partner in Tokyo
Good places to browse in Tokyo include Shibuya, Harajuku, Ginza and the food floors of the big department stores in Shinjuku.
Trains reach everything and department stores gift-wrap beautifully, but rush-hour trains are crowded, so shop mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
Buying for your partner
A partner knows you well, so effort is the thing they read first. Choose a gift that took thought, not just money.
Pair something useful with something sentimental.
If your anniversary is tomorrow
If the date crept up on you, Table bookings and a personalized game arrive fast and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Add a dinner booking and the evening is covered.
Traditional gift lists by year, paper, cotton, leather and so on, can give you a direction if you like rules. Break them if you have a better idea.
A gift that does not depend on Tokyo
Shops in Tokyo cannot sell this one: a pixel game with them as the hero, two letters from you and a quiz about your story. It is emailed, usually within an hour. The final level is set in Almaty today, with New York and Tokyo coming soon.
Where can I get a last-minute anniversary gift for my partner in Tokyo?
Browse Shibuya, Harajuku, Ginza and the food floors of the big department stores in Shinjuku, or order something that arrives the same day: table bookings and a personalized game. Trains reach everything and department stores gift-wrap beautifully, but rush-hour trains are crowded, so shop mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
Can I send my partner in Tokyo a digital gift?
Yes. A digital gift reaches them instantly wherever they are. An oin game is generated automatically and emailed to you, usually within an hour, as a private link that works in any browser; table bookings are an even quicker option.
Does oin have a final level set in Tokyo?
Not yet. A final level in Tokyo is coming soon; today the final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
