"Children’s paradise! I felt so nostalgic walking through the store. I wanted all the Sanrio and Pokemon they had. The spam and cup of noodle items were super cute too!"

"Super cute, large Japanese market with diverse selection of collectibles, makeup products, practical house appliances, and Knick knacks imported from Japan. Love the authenticity and aesthetic of the entire place, it makes a great place to find gifts for friends! The person checking out spoke to us in Japanese, which I loved. Definitely recommend! Easy parking lot and you can walk next door to another Japanese market full of snacks, drinks, and ramen. And there is also a nearby Japanese grocery store with fresh meats and produce!"

"It had been a few years since I last visited this store. The name has changed, but the merchandise has fairly remained the same except that now there were more anime merch and beauty products. My daughter and I got lost in the store for nearly 2 hours; inspecting and reinspecting everything we liked. We loved seeing items from our favorite anime, loved all the adorable housewares and trinkets. We definitely left with more items than we needed, but absolutely had no regrets. A return visit is imminent."

"This is a shopping center where you can buy Japanese industrial products. In addition to Japanese-style household appliances, you can also buy Bandai prefabricated toys. Hario Coffee brewing kit was cheap, so I bought one set and bought some cute Japanese living products. This is a recommended place and it uses a parking lot like a grocery store, so stop by and look around"
