What other travelers are saying about Tokyo Character Street
Super fun time here! It’s cool to see so many shops and gifts and there’s plenty of food as well. It’s very convenient since it’s right under the station so getting here is pretty simple. It can be very busy so expect crowds! Many crowds!
There are some amazing stores here, pick up your souvenirs, your favorite character merch and so much more. There’s food inside the stations and you can really spend a whole afternoon here! It does get crowded so be weary!! 4/5
Its a lovely/fancy place to be, especially for the youth admiring and buying their favourite anime characters and merchandize. A different vibe altogether and makes you feel being in Tokyo, the land of anime.
Tokyo Character Street is highly recommended if you are a fan of Sanrio, San X, Doraemon, One Piece, Shonen Jump and many many more. I would highly recommend visiting here. As a tourist, the language barrier was not too bad here, although in the One Piece store there the worker that served me the second time I purchased only offered the free gifts to the Japanese customers but the worker that served me the first time was super kind and sweet and offered the to me!
