There is a large one in the middle of Takeshita Street in Harajuku if you're going there.

Wherever you go, don't be afraid to ask the locals.
We had an Okubo in Kyoto

I totally second what you are saying thinking about it as I always saw the 99/100 yen shops in small residential shopping centres in Kyoto.
