While relaxing at home during the New Year's holidays is nice, what's really on your mind is the lucky bags and first sales. With the determination to "fill your arms with shopping!", you wake up early under the cold skies of Ginza, packed with stores like Mitsukoshi, Matsuya, Barneys New York, and Dover Street Market Ginza, and line up, then dash off as soon as the stores open! Even if you're not a fan of crowds, this day is one day you'll be determined to make it happen.

But maybe you're starting to feel a little tired? Suddenly, all you can picture is a warm, comforting cup of coffee...

So, to help you out, our editorial team has compiled information on the locations and business hours of your nearest Starbucks Coffee by area. Why not take a break before heading out again to scoop up some loot? Starting January 1st, select stores will also be offering limited-edition lucky bags (3,500 yen and 5,000 yen)!
