Another Doraemon story for everyone.
"The Doraemon Shop in ShimoKitaZawa is one of those places, designers would die for to visit if they only knew it existed!
If you ever tried to find something in ShimoKita, you know how hard it is to find your way through this labyrinth of tiny back streets, which probably creates the strongest attributes of this area: adventure, discovery and surprise. In one of windy roads, slightly far from ShimoKita West Exit one can find this funky little shop all stuffed with Japanese dolls, characters, old style Japanese sweets, stickers, batches…. hundrets of boxes that are just waiting to be opened and rummaged out. This is where the Doraemon Uncle lives and he opens his little magic shop every night: from 6PM until 3AM!"
So, when in Japan make sure you take a trian to the north and visit ShimoKita. When your there make sure you see the Doraemon train too, it’s in the neighborhood.
