About
Kiddy Land in Harajuku is an institution — one of Tokyo's most beloved and visited toy stores, and for good reason. Spread across four cheerful levels, the store offers a remarkable mix of Japanese character goods (Hello Kitty, Sanrio, Pokemon, Studio Ghibli) alongside American toy brands, making it familiar enough for visiting kids to engage with while still delightfully different from anything they've seen at home.
Located steps from Harajuku Station and Takeshita Street, Kiddy Land fits perfectly into a Harajuku family day. Browse the crepe stands on Takeshita Street, walk the colorful youth fashion boutiques, and finish with an hour at Kiddy Land where the kids can pick out a souvenir that actually means something to them.
With stroller-friendly access and nursing rooms available, Kiddy Land accommodates families with even the youngest shoppers. The store is perennially popular, so weekday afternoons are the best time to visit. Even if you go in with a strict no-buying rule (good luck), the visual spectacle of four floors of Japanese toys is an experience in itself — and the store is genuinely cheerful enough to count as a fun Tokyo activity, not just a shopping stop.
