After much procrastinating, I’ve finally updated my Tokyo Toy Shops posts. The shops are still basically the same. I did check out one or two new shops, but nothing to post about. The main shops are still going strong.

The Jan 2010 updates are in blue. There are pics of shop fronts and the interior of the shops themselves to give you an idea of what to expect and find. I’m planning my 2011 trip, will update more then! :P Have fun toy shopping in Tokyo!

I just found this photo blog of Tokyo, which is tempting me like crazy! Can’t wait to my trip back there in January. Woot! Less than a month from now!
