Located in the underground shopping area of Tokyo Station, this is one of the most efficient places to pick up souvenirs and anime merchandise!
The character street has an amazing lineup of brands, from Pokémon and Studio Ghibli to Shonen Jump and more. You can find all kinds of Tokyo-exclusive items in one stop, and there are pop-up shops from time to time. The ramen street brings together several popular Japanese shops that usually have lines, making it great for a quick meal. The snack area also has fun treats like freshly fried potato chips. It’s a fantastic place to shop and wander around.
We came here around noon for lunch (ramen), then just kept browsing around. Before we knew it, it was already evening!
You seriously don’t get tired of this place at all~!
This place is huge, seriously huge. I was ready to shop like crazy.
Then I realized you shop by separate sections. The first time I went, I was running around with a basket, and the staff told me, “No, no, no.” My mom laughed at me and I was so embarrassed.
The second time, I was super bummed because I missed getting freshly fried Calbee chips or fries by just three minutes.
If you want to try them like I did, you can follow my map pin to get there!
You’ll get to Ichibangai right away, because I got lost.
Tokyo Station is honestly insanely big.
Oh well, third time’s the charm, right?
Please, I really hope I can finally eat them next time.
Character Street is seriously dangerous for your wallet. Chiikawa, Pokémon, and the Jump Shop are all super cute, and I spent forever just taking photos.
There’s never enough time whenever I go to First Avenue Tokyo Station!
There are even more shops now in Character Street, and Tokyo Okashi Land has gotten even better!
They’ve got limited-edition items from favorite brands like Glico, Calbee, Kameda Seika, and Morinaga. If I’d had more time, I definitely would’ve wanted to try the freshly made Happy Turn!
