Located on B1 (Basement 1) of Tokyo Station, this place is a must-visit for character lovers. You’ll find many popular Japanese characters all in one area, making it fun to browse even if you’re not planning to buy anything.
The shops are colorful and well-organized, but it can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours and weekends. Some stores may also have queues for limited items.

Busy place. It is located inside the Tokyo station, but if you want to see items from dragon ball, pokemon, sanrio and others I recommend visit.
