Omiyage-Ya
(The Gift Shop)



Irrasshaimase!  Welcome to the Omiyage-Ya.

This is the place to come for mementoes of your trip to Nippon. Please browse around, take your time and see if there is anything that you might like to take home. The price is right.

To the left of the store, we have a wonderful product. It is called the FREE! Japanese Name generator. All you have to do is enter a few bits of information about yourself and in no time at all, before you can say, "kono basho wa sugoku omoshiroi, ne!" you will have your very own name (or phrase) translated into Japanese for you to take home and display proudly.

The calendar hanging in front of the window is actually a 31 day Japanese Proverb calendar. It can be used indefinitely as it is independent of month and year. These are not traditional Proverbs. Nope. They all have something to do with smiles. And everyone needs a good smile once in a while. Flip through the pages and see if any of them would help make your day a bit brighter. If it more Traditional Japanese Kotowaza (proverbs) that you are interested in, we will be getting an order in fairly soon.

If you plan on coming back to Japan sometime soon, or just want to start a new hobby, why don't you learn a bit of Japanese? With the FREE! Japanese Lessons, you will be able to say, "kono basho wa sugoku omoshiroi, ne!" in no time flat. This portion of the store is presently under remodeling, the Lessons are being updated and will be available soon. We hope you pop in again to take a look.
