Disney Store New Arrivals! Stitch, Zootopia, Ice Cream Tsum Tsums, and More!

It's June, and that means new arrivals at the Disney store, my favorite place to shop in Japan! So, what's new this month? Stitch!

My First Trip to a Cat Cafe!

One small key chain, hours of entertainment. Who can resist the soft pads of a kitty's paw?

If you’re familiar with Japan at all, you know all about their love of cat-related things – these squishy cat paw key chains, anime cat girls, this popular cat – and the awesomeness that is cat cafes. Cafes are another thing Japan loves, evidenced by maid and, more recently, butler cafes (which I will eventually visit and give my full report on, I promise you readers). Maid cafes are even so popular that they have opened in the states. Japan aficionados have brought back their love of cat cafes to places like London, Singapore, Hong Kong, and New York. Just what makes them so desirable to emulate?
