Doraemon Waku Waku Sky Park

Finally blogging about my experience at the Doraemon Waku Waku Sky Park in Hokkaido which is located right inside of the New Chitose airport! I have long dreamed of going to this place ever since I knew it existed. I can't believe I finally made this dream come true. One of my dream goals is to travel to all the Doraemon places in Japan. I have already been to the Doraemon museum in Kawasaki city so my next goal was the Waku Waku Sky Park in Hokkaido. 

If you ever make a trip to Sapporo when you're in Japan, do check out this Doraemon park when you have a few hours to spare at the airport. It is definitely worth a visit if you are a big Doraemon fan like me!

The park is actually quite big and has many attractions and places to visit. A cafe to eat cute and yummy Doraemon themed food, a workshop if you are into making crafts and toys, a library to read all the Doraemon manga, and a gift shop to buy cute Doraemon souvenirs and gifts that is only sold in Hokkaido! 

It cost 800 yen (about $8) for admission into the park where you get to venture in the magical world of Doraemon. The park is open from 10am-6:30pm. I'd recommend catching an early flight to Sapporo if you want to spend a full day at the park. There are also lots of other shops in the New Chitose airport such as the Royce Chocolate World shop which is located right next to the Doraemon Waku Waku Sky Park. 

Getting to the park is super easy. After you have come out from the arrival terminal at the airport, take the escalators up to the 3rd floor and look for and follow signs to Smile Road which you will start seeing a lot of Doraemon and you'll know that are you heading towards the right direction! You can also rent lockers on the lower level at the arrival terminal for 400 yen to store your luggage so you can freely enjoy your time at the park without having to carry your luggage around. 

Spotted this cute Doraemon statue close to the entrance of the park and couldn't resist to take a selfie making the same sticking tongue and one eye wink expression face as him, lol. 

The famous Doraemon brick wall! This is the main entrance to the park. LOVE this brick wall soooo much. The best way to be welcomed to the park! ｡^‿^｡

Line Friends Store in Harajuku

When I was shopping in the Harajuku area, I made a visit to the Line Friends Store. I'm pretty sure everyone is familiar with the Line Friends characters if you use the LINE chat messaging app or the Line photo app or if you play their games. I personally love using the line stickers in the chat messaging and editing my pictures with the Line photo app. 

Right when you enter, you are welcomed by Brown, Cony and Friends on the left side of the store. 

Inside the store you will find a lot of plushies and toys of the Line characters and it was really hard to resist not to buy anything as they are soooo cute! But I managed to stop myself because I really had no need to buy any more plushies or toys to bring home. (ノ＞▽＜。)ノ

I really like this section of the store with the big plushie dolls and really cute animation pictures on the wall that lead down to the basement level.
