Here, you can find the color schemes of every anime, whether it's toys or clothing, all with unique characteristics. Entering the store is like immersing yourself in Miyazaki's anime world. ✅ Every year, the Ghibli Studio holds a limited exhibition in the store, launching official new products that are very popular.

We took the subway to Ikebukuro Station, which is the third most crowded station in Tokyo after Shinjuku Station and Shibuya Station. JR's Yamanote Line, Shonan Shinjuku Line, Saikyo Line, and the N'EX Narita Express to and from Narita Airport pass through here, as well as various rapid trains and express trains to Kawagoe, Nikko, or various prefectures in northern Tokyo. In addition, the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line, Fukutoshin Line, and Yurakucho Line, as well as private railways such as Tobu Railway and Seibu Railway, all stop at Ikebukuro. Ikebukuro is not only a shopping paradise, but also an entertainment paradise for young people to have fun, and it is also a mecca for anime and games. If Akihabara is a 3C paradise that is more inclined towards games, then Ikebukuro is a subculture mecca dominated by anime. There is even Ikebukuro Otome Road, Butler Café, and Alice's Dream Adventure theme restaurant "Old City Country No Alice"! There are department stores directly connected to Ikebukuro Station, and entertainment centers within a 10-minute walk. The following is a brief introduction to the characteristics of famous shopping malls in Ikebukuro. You can choose the one that suits you:

Sanrio Cafe Ikebukuro is located on the first basement floor of Sunshine City alpa in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. If you think Sanrio Puroland is too far away, you can come here. The main characters include Hello Kitty, Melody, Little Twin Stars, Cinnamon Dog, Gudetama, etc. As I was afraid that Sanrio Cafe would be crowded and I would have to wait for a table if I went there late, I decided to go there before 12 noon so I wouldn't have to wait. The restaurant has limited seats, so if you don't have a seat, you can patronize the takeaway area. There are Sanrio dolls placed in the restaurant to accompany your meal, and the surroundings are decorated with characters, making you feel like you have entered the world of Sanrio. There is also a Hello Kitty piano at the door, and anyone who knows how to play the piano is welcome to give an impromptu performance. All the food here also has Sanrio cartoon characters. We ordered steamed buns, hamburgers, hot pancakes, cakes, etc. The presentation of the food is very delicate, and the taste of the cartoon characters is also very good. Friends who like to check in should definitely not miss it. ##Tokyo Free Travel ##sanrio ##Sanrio
