One the most fashionable shopping areas, Harajuku, is a short train journey from us. Saturday afternoon we decided to head for thisarea so we could visit Kiddy Land which is Tokyo's answers to London's Hamleys.
The reason for the visit was to purchase more 'ammo' for their Nerf guns. Felix got one for his birthday and then Neve saw one reduced and decided that she needed to defend herself against her big brother so bought one as well. If any children are reading this I can recommend these toys, they are ace. They fire foam darts. You pump the gun to load and fire. They have magazines so you can fire lots of times before you have to reload.
Once we arrived at Kiddyland its a really good opportunity to see what the latest toys are. Just inside the front door they were selling these virbrating bugs things. They wriggle along until they hit something and then they change direction. It's like watching a load of cockroaches.
We also found a whole stand full of Smurfs. Remember getting these things from petrol stations in the 80's? Well it looks like they are alive and well in Japan.
The final thing we found which were pretty cool were Star Wars Light Sabre chopsticks.
Next we walked up Omotesando which is the main street until we reached the Softmap shop (Japanese Vodafone) who we promoting the Apple Ipad. This must be the current must have item in Japan. Very neat, I want one!
