It was only during my fourth visit to Shibuya that I discovered the Disney Store. I wasn’t particularly looking out for it and it was not really mentioned in any tour guide (not that I read a lot of them though). But you won't miss the store even if you see it from a distance. I mean, who can miss a castle in the midst of the buildings. Yes, the Disney Store is really in form of a castle. Take a look at the photo below if you won't believe me.

For those friends who decide to give Disneyland/Disneysea a miss but still like to buy some Disney merchandises, this will be a place to fulfill your wish. There are all sort of Disney goodies inside, like stuff toys, stationaries, clothings, mugs and etc. I'm sorry that I was too focused on doing my shopping that I forgot to take much photo :p But this also tell you that there are indeed quite a fair bit of things that you can buy there. One thing that you might want to take note is that you can also purchase tickets to Disneyland/Disneysea from the store. This will be useful for people who want to make a dash for the rides at the resorts and don't want to waste time queuing up for tickets. (P.S. So far I have always made a trip to either Disneyland or Disneysea everytime I go to Tokyo. And I'm thinking that I would want to stay at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel during my next visit so that I have the energy to explore both Disneyland and Disneysea concurrently.)
(P.S. This is totally irrelevant but I just read that my fave show at Disneysea - BraviSEAmo! will end on November 13, 2010)
Other than Disney Store, I also like to shop at Tokyu, OIOI and Seibu at Shibuya (other than the small clothing boutiques).You may wonder what is so special about these departmental stores as you may think that departmental stores in Singapore should be about about the same (since we have quite a few Japanese departmental stores like Takashimaya and Isetan). My friends and I agreed that the way the products are being displayed in the departmental stores is so stylish that it is indeed a delight to simply do window shopping even if you have no intention to buy anything. (Things there are more pricey as compared to Singapore but the quality usually makes a product a good buy)

To sum up, Shibuya is really a place for ladies who love fashion and good food. Of course, men are very welcome to join us as well :)
