There are two of them which I can recommend:  one of them is a shop
called Donguri Republic (or Donguri Kyowakoku, in Japanese) in
Harajuku.  This shop specialize on mainly Ghibli goods, with some
Moomin stuff too.  I went buckeyed and completely gone nuts when I
find the place, having search for it for about 35 minutes and find out
I can buy Ghibli goods which I never even know to exist at all!  Every
thing from acorns and nuts wrapped in leaves (Totoro style) to Totoro
neckties are available.  During my visit there last October, I have
bought my dancing Kodama, Totoro and Ghibli Y2K calenders and a Totoro
jewelry box.  However, beware: make sure you got lots of cash or have
your credit card handy.  Also, get a grip on your shopping urge, otherwis=
e=20
getting broke is easy.
 
And there's another one: Nippon Television Co. shop near Asakusa
Kaminarimon(it is on the street corner of Nakamise).  Not as much
merchandise as Donguri Republic, but they do have quite a bit of
everything.
 
My two yen on this topic.  Hope it will help!
 
Felix
