This area is full of a lot of my favorite characters and adorable merchandise. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I was trying to spend my remaining yen on the last day of my trip. It was conveniently located in Tokyo Station where I needed to be anyway to catch the train to the airport.
It is really expensive and crowded. There are some exclusive and unique items but not worth it. It feels overpriced. Just go to a less crowded areas and search for small shops. The always have the things you are looking for.
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!
