“Hello Kitty”‘s special shop & “Miffiy”‘s special shop at Tokyo Station
“Hello Kitty Tokyo Station shop” and “miffy style Tokyo Station shop” are going to open, at the same time, on coming March 16th along Tokyo Character Street on First Avenue Tokyo Station in Tokyo Station. http://www.tokyoeki-1bangai.co.jp/en/
This Hello Kitty’s newest store(the second one in Japan after Kichijoji shop) is planned to sell about 1200 kinds of Kitty’s popular items, while miffy’s shop(the third one in Japan) is going to sell about 400 sorts of miffy’s items. The two stores are both to be run by Sanrio and the latter is to be managed jointly by Sanrio(http://www.sanrio.co.jp/english/index.html) and Dick Bruna Japan (http://www.dickbruna.jp/).
Hello Kitty(http://www.sanrio.co.jp/characters/hellokitty/english/index.html) and miffy(http://www.miffy.com/) are quite popular animal characters worldwide, so, Tokyo Station which is the central station of both Tokyo and Japan known as one of the most popular tourists’ destinations as well, is expected to be visited by a lot of tourists and passengers. I hope those new stores will be popular sites to draw people to contribute to enhancement of tourism in Japan a lot.
