Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and Japan is revving up for a romantic (and commercialized) day with flowers and chocolates abound. In Japan the holiday follows a strong tradition of gift-giving from women to men, where the latter commonly receives chocolate before returning the gift on White Day one month later. Regardless of customs, Valentine’s Day is also a fun day to just enjoy the sweets and fuzzy atmosphere. Whether you’re single or attached, these shops have you covered if you want to enjoy something deliciously Valentine’s Day-themed.
