Yes, everything is open! The weekend is when most people have time to go shopping. Hence, all the stores make sure to be open.

@ japaneseboy
The sabbath is a Jewish event so most Christians don't know it either...

@Saru Bob Oh, really?! My Japanese-English dictionary tell me a lie about 主の日(shu no hi).
I just want to say "Japanese don't know 主の日". I learned that Sunday called 主の日 at church when I was a child. We hymned "On 主の日, all people take a rest from work/study and calm at church 〜♪" in Japanese. (I may be a Shinto but went to Catholic kindergarten.)
But that have no connection with PATRIZIA's query. Sorry...(x_x;

I am aware that in many countries in Europe, especially the southern part, shops close on Sundays. That is definitely not the way it works in Japan.

@ ajapaneseboy well.. ok.. while the sabbath IS primarily a Jewish event lasting from sunset on a friday to sunset on a saturday, it can also be used to refer to Sundays in a christian context. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabbath_in_ChristianityI don't want you to think that you were lied to at kindergarten!
