Sanrio Japanese Village

There is usually a queue to get in snd you have a limited amount of time to shop when inside. There is so much to look at once you are in though! Lots of cute statues and murals to take photos of/with and even a claw machine (it was out of order when I went though). The merchandise comes in a variety of characters, even some of the less popular ones. Easy to find because there is a big Sanrio mural outside of the shop.

I love it here. The store is a little smaller than others that I've been to, but they always have really cute merch here that you won't find at the other stores. I bought my Sanrio Boys tote bag here. Lowkey I was surprised that they even carried Sanrio Boys merch here at all, I thought it was only in Japan. The staff are really nice, and the overall vibes of the store are really cool.

This was my first ever visit to an in person Sanrio store! I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was great, and the store wasn't over-crowded due to there only being a certain amount of customers allowed inside. I visited on a not so busy Thursday, so I only had to wait a minute or two to be let in. The selection was great, and check out was quick. I recommend this store if you're in the area!
