    I saw you at the Toy Story Hotel on the opening day of Fantasy Springs. I wanted to say hello. Sunshine Mall in Ikebukuro is less crowded than Shibuya Harajuku, and is more comfortable regardless of the weather.

    The second gachapon place you came across is THE gachapon department ( Gachapon Forest) If you like Kirby, you should go to the Kirby Cafe near Skytree! Their food is significantly better than Pokemon Cafe's 👍🏼 Pop Mart is gonna take over Funko market in the States very soon ! It's already been a thing here in Japan for the past a few years. As for Toys R Us, you can find full-sized Toys R Us in other prefectures like Kanagawa and Chiba

    Another great vlog. Never apologize for getting emotional in a TRU Tom! I wouldve felt the same. Hope you saw Geoffrey.

    We were just there at the end of May. Sunshine City Mall is great. While you're there, also visit Tokyo Station's Character Street, Diver City (There's at least 2 Toys R Us's there), and of course the Nintendo Store (with the Pokemon Center) in Shibuya.

    When I went to Japan I nearly pooped myself seeing a Back to the Future keychain gachapon. That rocketeer one would’ve elicited a similar reaction!

  • @josephm5353

    Hopefully when I get back to Japan I'll visit this mall. I've been to a Toys R US in a mall in Odaiba several years ago.
    I'm really enjoying your blogs and can't wait to return to Tokyo soon

    but for real i love how detailed and well made their gacha are and i think it is awesome that they have so much variety. i mean rocketeer?? wow! and then those random things like buttons or food items etc.. its so cool. i hope one day i can make it to japan and i know those machines will be my downfall LMAO

    I went to Sunshine City back in 2013, the main reason was so me and my friends could go to a small indoor theme park that has since closed called J-World. It was a Shonen Jump theme park, they had a few attractions based on One Piece, Naruto and of course Dragon Ball. I rode the One Piece dark ride, not only that but it was the month it opened. So yeah cool story involving that...
    Also I went to the Toy R Us when I was there, for me it was just a Toys R Us but in Japan at the time since I never thought that the store would close...
    Also hit up the Disney Store... it was just a Disney Store at the time.

    I spent so much money when I visited Sunshine City. Though it was mostly the Snoopy store that got my money. The Japanese merch is just too cute and unique to resist. Like Faron the cat only featured in like 7 of the daily Peanuts comic strips back in 1961, but you bet he gets merch at the Snoopy museum in Japan.

    These stores are why I want to get my son to Japan. I know he would be so excited about the Pokemon stores. Not to mention catching in another foreign country. He caught a few in Disneyland and WDW.
