Character Goods Galore: KIDDY LAND Harajuku Location

 

 
 
Opened in 1950, the Harajuku location of the toy store KIDDY LAND is something of a local landmark in the Harajuku / Omotesando area. Here you can find goods for popular Japanese characters as well as some characters from other countries. They also have some fun miscellaneous items as well. Each floor is dedicated to different characters, making it easy to find what you're looking for.

★ SNOOPY TOWN Shop
Anyone who agrees that “happiness is... a warm puppy” will feel right at home in SNOOPY TOWN Shop located on the first basement floor. From the walls to the elevator, this place is covered with images of PEANUTS characters. Feel free to take some pictures of the decor as you browse their selection of PEANUTS merchandise.

★ Funassyi LAND Select HARAJUKU

There is also a corner on the first floor dedicated to Funassyi, a pear-like mascot. While Japan has no shortage of unique mascots, you can probably tell by the amount of Funassyi merchandise available that it is a particularly popular one.
