If you think this place is only about Anpanman, you’d be wrong.
As soon as you walk in, it feels like you’ve fallen right into your childhood memories. Familiar characters are everywhere, along with incredibly precious original manuscripts and illustrations. As I wandered around, I realized how much warmth Takashi Yanase put into his work.
If you’re visiting Kochi, it’s definitely worth stopping by, whether or not you’re with kids!

Yokohama Anpanman Children's Museum
Interact with the world and characters of “Let’s Go! Anpanman” at this museum (3F). Here you can meet super-popular characters like Anpanman and Baikinman, and there’s even a stage-based performance where children can sing and dance with Anpanman!
It was our first time visiting the Yokohama Anpanman Children's Museum, and now I finally understand why so many parents highly recommend it!
From the moment you step inside, it feels like you’ve entered the world of Anpanman. Familiar characters are everywhere, and there are live performances where kids can sing and dance along. The atmosphere is super cheerful. The kids were busy exploring and playing pretend, while the adults were busy taking photos. Seeing the children smile so happily made it all worth it.
If you’re traveling to Yokohama with little ones, I really recommend setting aside half a day for this place! -

Calbee+ Tokyo Station
Calbee+ is an antenna shop operated by the popular snack maker Calbee. Located inside Tokyo Okashi Land at First Avenue Tokyo Station, it is a popular spot where visitors can enjoy snack foods and other treats that showcase the unique appeal of Calbee.
I only meant to pick up a souvenir, but the smell of freshly fried potato fries pulled me right in. The fries at Calbee+ are seriously dangerous. Hot and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and on a totally different level from what I usually eat!
After that, I quietly grabbed several bags of limited-edition snacks to take back to the hotel. I thought I’d save them and enjoy them slowly back in Taiwan, but they were almost gone before the trip was even over. -

Sugar Butter Sand Tree
Milky white chocolate is sandwiched between cookies made from a blend of whole wheat, rye and wild oats. With its adorable appearance, your clients or friends and family will be delighted to receive this box of cookies as a gift.
Sugar Butter Sand Tree is absolutely one of my go-to brands that I restock on every time I go to Japan!
The outside is a grain cookie made with whole wheat, rye, and oats. It’s light and crispy when you bite into it, with this lovely toasted aroma. In the middle, there’s a rich white chocolate cream that’s flavorful but not heavy, with just the right amount of sweetness.
The dangerous part is that I only planned to eat one, and before I knew it, the box was almost empty. Whether you’re eating them yourself, giving them to friends, or enjoying them at home with coffee or tea, they’re perfect. -
