Guide to Tokyo Okashi Land, First Avenue Tokyo Station

Although you will find sweet treats and snacks on every corner in Tokyo, and in every Family Mart convenience store, Lawson convenience store, Japanese supermarket, and 7-11 store, there is ONE Tokyo attraction where the three major snack manufacturers (Gliko – famous for Pocky!, Morinaga, and Calbee brands) come together to showcase their products.

This magical unicorn land of dreams for kids is called Tokyo Okashi Land, and it’s a confectionary-themed retail zone.

Okashi land is located in the infinite underground shopping zone “First Avenue Tokyo Station”, hidden beneath Tokyo Station, Japan’s busiest railway station.

If you do not let your kids eat sugar, avoid this place like the plague.

Best Things to do at Tokyo Station Okashi Land 

When we travel with Roam the Gnome, we embrace all quirks of the country, and we eat all kinds of food.

Snacks, sweet treats and yummies included.

There’s none of the rules of home.

Sugar is up for grabs and on the menu, and we all eat a sweet treat (or five) most days.

I figure all that walking from place to place, and the kids (and Roam the Gnome’s) enduring patience as we navigate heaving crowds, deserves a reward.

No.1: Press a Penny

Our favourite souvenir in Tokyo (and everywhere we go) is a pressed penny. This one is in the image of Kyorochan. Cute!

No.2: Collect an Eki Stamp

We love to find an Eki stamps in Tokyo.

Eki stamps are stamps and ink pads you find at most train stations, and children throughout Japan collect eki stamps like some people collect enamel pins, or cloth patches for a backpack or blanket.

Tokyo Okashi Land has a unique eki stamp too.

Be sure to stamp it.

(Did you know you can buy new Eki Stamp booklets to collect eki stamps in most Japanese stationery shops. Collecting eki stamps is a fun thing for kids to do in Japan)
