Visiting One Piece themed places in Tokyo.

If you are a fan of One Piece, and are planning to make the trip to Tokyo, then here is a 2 day suggested itinerary for you to consider.

Day 1: J-World / Nakano Broadway / Mugiwara store

J-World

J-World (Sunshine City at Ikebukuro)

<<Go to my visit to J-World back in Oct 2013>>

J-world is an indoor themed attraction inside Sunshine City shopping mall. It has attractions (and themed food) for mainly One Piece, Naruto and Dragonball. 

Nakano Broadway

Nakano Broadway

Between Nakano Broadway and Akihabara, I somehow prefer to go Nakano Broadway if I want to look for One Piece related collectables. I was so lost when I was at Akihabara and didn't really know which stores to go to look for One Piece stuffs. That said, if you were to do your research online beforehand and would rather go Akihabara over Nakano Broadway, then by all means go ahead. :)

When you reach Nakano Broadway, you would probably be surprised to find that the shops on the ground level do not sell anime products, so for a moment you might think you have gone to the wrong place. Fret not, the shops that you would be looking for are on the 2nd level.

Mugiwara store

Mugiwara store (Shibuya Parco Part 1, 6F)

<<Go to my visit to Mugiwara store back in Dec 2012>>

This is the official One Piece store, located about 7mins walk from Shibuya station. 

They sell a wide variety of One Piece products here, t-shirts, keyboard, figurines, stationary...and more.

-----------------------------

Although there are quite a number of One Piece related attractions within Tokyo area, however, my favourite is one that is located outside of Tokyo. 

It is Huis Ten Bosch in Kyushu (about 7 to 8hrs by train from Tokyo, or 2hrs domestic flight).

If you happen to visit Kyushu, then you wouldn't want to miss boarding Thousand Sunny for a short cruise.
