Must-Visit Sanrio in Ueno! 🌟

You absolutely have to visit Sanrio when you're in Ueno! 🎈 🌈 I actually passed by this Sanrio store in Ueno last time but never went in. Later, I found out they have Ueno exclusives, so I couldn't miss it this time! 🎀 Remember to get the coupon in advance—save 500 yen when you spend 5000 yen. 🌈 It's a pretty good deal, but unfortunately, there's no tax refund. 🛒 I heard it gets really crowded, but it wasn't that bad. The flow of people comes in waves, so it gets less busy as you shop. 🚶‍♀️ The store is filled with so many adorable Sanrio characters that it's almost overwhelming! 🌈 🌈 Since pandas are a Ueno specialty, I picked up a large Pochacco and a small Pompompurin, both in panda designs—you can't find these anywhere else! 🐼 To complete my set, I also got a Pompompurin phone toy. Now I have all three! 🎉 After shopping, I headed back to the hotel, feeling really satisfied. 🌈 Oh, and the entrance of the store is also a great spot for photos—many tourists stop to take pictures there. 📸 #melody 🎶 #HiddenGemsShopping 🛍️
