Going to Japan

[Princess Lala]

Thanks for the info!!


The Narita pokemon shop is inside the airport! I believe its on the third or fourth floor inthe airport!? My friend arrived there about 4 hours early before her flight just to shop! :o

I thought Disney only existed in Florida and California.

Nope, there is Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo Disney Sea, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Disneyland Shanghai is set to open in early 2016.
Plus there is one someplace in France - Paris, I think.


I would go to Zao fox village but its in Miyagi prefecture and that looks like its further north then Tokyo.
*wanted to go to Japan but somehow ended up with a teaching contract in China instead*

my boyfriend lived in Japan for a year and I ,myself have always wanted to go there.

he always talks about the old temples he went to and bunny island that he wished he would have seen.
I hope you have fun! :3

I'm actually leaving for Japan on Wednesday! I'm meeting the boyfriend in Honolulu, and from there we will go to Japan for 2 weeks I'm so excited, I've never been!

Have you been to the Osaka Kaiyukan before? It's totally worth it. If you get there at a specific time you can watch the staff feed their whale shark. Feeding times are posted.

I spent all my time when I lived in Japan in Tokyo and Iwate so I'm really limited on my Osaka knowledge. The Pokemon Center in Tokyo's pretty awesome and in a super accessible location (three minute walk off the Yamanote Line.) Don't let the kids that hang around there fool you, they may be like ten years old but they will whoop you in battle.

If you somehow manage to get the time and money to pull it off, I cannot recommend heading up north enough. I may be biased because Iwate is my second home in my heart, but it's simply beautiful up there especially on the coastlines.

i'm mostly from Osaka, so i'd love some intel on Tokyo. i've only been there twice. any good thrift stores or doll shops that you know of? i've found one online, but that's it.

i wish we had time to go to Iwate, but i think this trip will have to be shorter.

The only second-hand shop that springs to mind immediately is Nakano Broadway. They have an antique store that's a little on the creepy side, one of those gachapon buy-back stores, old game store, and something else I can't remember.

Doll shops it's a stab in the dark, but Kiddie Land in Harajuku? Six floor toy store and very close to Takeshita Street (which has all the wacky fashion.)

I dreamed of traveling to Japan with two of my friends last night and now I'm daydreaming of such a trip! Visiting Japan has been in my dreams for years, and now I'm super psyched of it and am making some plans for saving and a list of stuff I'd like to buy from there. Oh, all the doll stuff, dolls, fabrics, Pokemon items, oh my! All the places to visit and see and the foods to taste... *A*

[Vertefae]

Jealous! I could send you a blythe buying list lol

Have a fabulous time!

I'm leaving for Japan on Sunday!! So exciting!! One place I'm visiting is Doll Point (a Volks doll shop) just outside of Akihabara station, going to buy myself a bjd!!

This will be my first time but I've loved the country/culture for so long. Plus I'm going to my favourite idol group (ANGERME) second biggest concert ever so I'm totally over the moon - so much so that I'm dreaming of it at night.

Congrats to all of you going to Japan. It's a dream of mine to go there. I really love Asian men too, so that's another attraction.

I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I feel I am too fat to go Japan. I hear they aren't fat friendly. I hate myself for being overweight. I wouldn't want to be made a spectacle of.

But there would be so much stuff there I'd want to buy.

^ I'll tell you how my experience goes as I'm plus sized. Also you shouldn't let your size influence where you want to go.

This is what worries me the most about going to China. I am fat by American standards, and I will actually be living and working there, so its not like i'm just visiting for a week and then comming home. I'm guessing the same would hold true for Japan. I seen a post somewhere, rocketnews Japan I think? of a group of "fat" singers who they were calling marshmellow girls. Seriously they were like a size 5!

OOooh, I've always wanted to go! One of these years...
