first stop in tokyo-ADVENTURES IN KIDDYLAND
If there is one thing my mom and I love more than shoes, it would be toys.
Tokyo's famous 'Kiddy Land' store was the first stop we made on our first day in Tokyo.

We were having a great time until mom saw Pleo.
It was love at first sight...and sadly it was a doomed love, because unfortunately his size and price tag meant that Pleo couldn't come back to Texas with us.
Mom shared a tearful goodbye with Pleo before we left in search of lunch.
Kiddy Land was amazing, Pleo or not!! It wasn't our first trip to Kiddy Land and it won't be our last...gotta go back and get more Totoro toys.
you have officially just visited the cutesy shop in the world
I love your header aswell 'live from japan' I wish I was there!

Oh my dear lord you are probably the luckiest girl on the face of Earth. One of my million life objectives is to visit Kiddy Land. Yes, I am super advantageous.
i haven't visited kiddyland, but i would recommend yamashiroya right across the street from ueno station. it's 4 floors of 80s toys and miyazaki heaven!
Kuroshitsuji Pullip dolls. O__O
We have a Japanese toy store at our mall here and I always ask for a job when I go there, I could spend a day in a store like that! Looks like you're having a fantastic time in Japan. :)
I am currently living in Tokyo (only 2 more weeks to go) and I will return home with heeps and heeps of toys from kiddyland!!! I love it there
Oh and if you like toys you should go to Nakano as they have a mall there with 60 toystores :D
oh please, don't talk about price tags.
Green-eyed monster alert!
Oh my gosh, Capybara-san (the big brown plush you're holding)! Those are so adorable. And I spy some dolls dressed up like characters in a manga I love. All that pink in the first photo is fantastic. I am going to love your Japan posts so, so much!
Yay I like Totoro too! You can visit the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo to make friends with all of Hayao Miyazaki's animated characters.
Aww, I love Pleo!! And your header is so awesome :)
THEY'RE SO CUUUTTEEEE..... T_T
look at all those cute toys! by the way you have such a gorgeous face! have a wonderful time :)
wow! those are so fun and look so collectible!

Are you going to see Ponyo?? If you liked Totoro, you'll definitely like Ponyo.
I think you would love the Ghibli Museum!
Though it's unfair that the Cat Bus is only for small children...
HAVE A REALLY GOOD TIME!
ooooh wow! what a cuties!!! I think I could die in a store like this, as much as I could die in a designer store!
awesome pics, you're a great photographer!
DEFINATELY see the Ghibli museum, a friend of mine went and said it was really great.
Also Scleich = love!
can you bring me one of these amazing figures?
Jane, Thank you so much for your posts! Please keep going! We are so grateful and excited for you that you are continually updating us with so many exciting happenings of your day!
I agree with punkie, you are a great photographer.
I'll be checking back daily as always.

thanks for posting this!
tokyo is so colorful, so different. you are becoming quite the sartorialist...taking all those pics of tokyo street style! : )
you are making me want to visit again...but it's so expensive there!

That store looks like so much fun!
That store is a cute overload!
Thanks for posting while you're in Japan!!
that photo of your mom's hand on Pleo's box made me lol - such longing. looks like you're having a great time!
you and your mom can get a Pleo here in the states... amazon.com has a great selection of vendors that sell them and ebay has them as well and from what I remember when I was in Japan a few months ago, for whatever strange reason, Pleo costs more in Japan that it does in the US.
We have one and love the little guy...its like a tamogochi but on a whole different level.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MOTHER DIDN'T BUY IT (PLEO DINO-ROBOT) IF ITS COST IS ONLY $1,500 uds. I BET SHE HAD PAY NEAR THAT MUCH OR ALMOST FOR A PAIR OF SHOES. STILL I DONT THINK SO. BUT GREAT PICS JANE. HAVE FUN IN TOKYO.
That's just crazy!

I'm SO supremely jealous of your Tokyo trip... I've always wanted to go!
Those toys are AMAZAING, talk about indulging your inner child :)
OMG Jane I F-ing LOVEEEEE Totoro.

I'm so in love with Pullip dolls :)
I hope you see a lot of lolita fashions the clothes are so colorful
