こんにちはみなさん!! It has been a while hasn't it :) sorry for being MIA I....have nothing in my defence ^^" but alas I am back regardless!!
Last year in mid June I went to Japan with a few friends and guys..forreal the place I wanted to visit the most was the one and only Mugiwara Store. If you do not know already, but I am a hardcore otaku..moreover a hardcore One Piece fan. I watch the anime every week, read the manga every week, and drool over Zoro and Ace. You guys don't understand. I have a section in my bedroom wall dedicated to just Ace. I shit you not. So you all quite get the gist of my love for One Piece, hence can understand my inner otaku fangirl excitement when I saw the Mugiwara Store with my own eyes.
Located in the heart of Shibuya, Parco 1 6th Floor. Has a lift dedicated for the Mugiwara Store; goes to all floors but the interior of the lift is plastered with the mugiwara members which is pretty epic if I'd say.
Just to clarify, the whole of 6th floor is not only Mugiwara Store, however, the store does pretty much take up half the floor. The rest of the floor is, otherwise, all anime related. You will also get the occasional pop-up store around the corner depending on current popular animes. When I went, there was a Kuroko no Basuke pop-up store, and I have also heard there has been a Nanatsu no Taizai pop-up store too.
The Mugiwara Store itself is as beautiful as I have seen online, even better live. To be honest it was so surreal seeing the store right in front of my eyes. You don't often see such things exist in the UK, as anime is pretty rare in itself to even be seen anywhere in London.
The whole atmosphere was amazing, the background music (one piece opening and ending songs), the interior decor, and the staffs as well. Everything about the store had such a happy, and joyful feel to it. Exactly how you'd imagine it to be if you were to be in the anime One Piece.

I might have gone a bit crazy in terms of shopping with my first visit. Let's just say I didn't even bother looking at the prices, and literally chucked in everything into the basket which pleased my eyes. And I really do mean literally. When it was time to go to the counter and pay..hahaaaa it was a very outstanding amount. But on the bright side, I went through 3 loyalty cards in one transaction! Every 500yen you spend in-store, you get a stamp on the loyalty card starting off with Luffy. Making your way up in the order of the members joining in the crew. Once you collected all the stamps you receive a miniature size of the wanted poster.
Of course you cannot leave the store without the obligatory photo with Going Merry and Laboon. The feels for both of them is real. Oh and this is before starting me shopping spree, hence why I am empty handed. Do not worry, I left the store with the largest carrier bag they had, and it was half the size of my body.
