Stores will range in size from a single floor to multi-story extravaganzas of cheap but decent-quality goods. Starting with baking goods, in the video above we can see candy, beauty products, character goods and novelty items interspersed with stationery mainstays from pens and stickers to notebooks and letter writing sets.

The specific product list will vary from store to store, and will often even change between visits. But even in the smallest store, you can expect to find a dedicated aisle of notebooks, folders and letter sets, as well as a large variety of writing tools and organizers.

So what do you do if there isn't a ¥100 shop near you? Shop online, of course!
