The biggest one is right in Kabukicho and going to have a look inside late in the night is a good idea to kill some time, also because the shop will be full of "interesting people" (after all, what does a person do in a similar store in the middle of the night?). There are a lot of shops scattered around Japan, only in Shinjuku there are 5 of them and they're all open 24 hours a day. You will find everything, snacks, food and drinks, clothes, cosmetics, bath products, appliances, electronics, party items, cosplay, sex toys, jewelry, bags and backpacks, really everything. It is a perfect shop to find original souvenirs, but also necessities or strange and curious things.

The museum is designed for foreign tourists, attracted by that "legendary" world of samurai perhaps seen in some movies.
