Disney Store in Ikebukuro



It is strange to me that there would be a Disney store in Japan. I had figured that it would be like the ones in the states. Strangely, I was wrong. Aside from the stuffed cartoon figures, there were so many gifts and souveniers which cater to the Japanese. Everything is small and can be hand-carried. They sell fancy tins of cookies and candy. They have the "baby" versions of almost every cartoon character such as the Baby Little Mermaid. Real strange. Most of their gifts are practical. Lots of pencils and stationary products. Oddly enough, this store sits right next to a big Hello Kitty Store.
