Traveler reviews
Place has a lot of touristy stuff. It has a Pokemon center (probably the only Pokemon store I’ve seen with no line ups at random times, my hotel was beside this place so I visited the Pokemon center almost every day), a one piece store, a lot of Bandai gashapon with ichiban kuji, some good restaurants, and it even has a aquarium. Good couple of hours to burn and there’s an airport limosine outside if you are leaving Tokyo to NRT or HND after!
It was busy for a Friday and so many stores to visit, you need half a day to do your shopping. I went just for the Pokemon store, Pokemon go and the One Piece store. Food was good and make sure not to rush the shopping because there’s really so much to do.
This mall is huge with ton of interesting stores to visit such as the massive gashapon store, pokemon store and loft. There's even aquarium to visit which is very a rare find to have it in a mall. Overall its an interesting experience do come here if you have the time!!!
A big mall that is mostly known for the many and huge pokemon stores on the 3rd floor. If you are a pokemon fan this is a must visit.
I am not sure much of the other stores are worth a visit.
When we visited there was some kind of boy band performing, so that could be a possibility.
Cool Park with a public mini pool for Kids with a awesome Struktur in the middle of it spraying water! But a little dusty when you go there on a windy day like we did! The rest is really building for Kids having Fun!
