Disney Store
If you want Disney merchandise but are looking for something a little different from what you’ll find at Tokyo Disney Resort, stop by the Disney Store at Ikspiari.
The store carries a selection of products that are unique to Japan, making it an easy place to pick up a Disney-themed souvenir without having to return to the parks.
The selection changes throughout the year. Some Japan-exclusive products are permanent, while others are seasonal. Tokyo-branded items are generally available year-round, while items such as fans and plush toys can vary depending on the season.
This makes the Disney Store a particularly convenient option if you want a souvenir that combines Japanese and Disney themes.
Disney Store vs. Bon Voyage: What’s the difference?
It’s easy to confuse the Disney Store with Bon Voyage, especially because both sell Disney merchandise. However, they are not the same.
Bon Voyage is a store operated by Tokyo Disney Resort, while the Disney Store at Ikspiari is a Disney Store outside the resort. Their merchandise selections can therefore be different.
If you are specifically looking for Tokyo Disney Resort merchandise, make sure you know which store you are visiting before shopping.

3COINS
Want to bring home something Japanese without spending a lot? 3COINS is a fun place to browse.
As the name suggests, the store focuses on affordable goods, but the selection goes well beyond simple household items. You’ll find interesting Japanese gadgets, accessories, lifestyle products, and seasonal goods.
The seasonal selection is particularly fun for visitors. During summer, for example, you may find products designed to help you stay cool as well as yukata (summer kimono accessories), making them both practical and distinctly Japanese. During the rainy season, lots of unique rain gear like shoe and bag covers, umbrella holders and bags make umbrellas more easy to store or carry around inside when they are wet.
3COINS also have a great selection of hair and jewelry accessories. If you’re looking for accessories that Japanese women wear daily, look no further! They are stylish and affordable at the same time, making it perfect if you want to try the style out or bring home souvenirs. They also have a big section dedicated for nail art which is perfect if you’re trying to get into nail art or a nail enthusiast.
Even if you aren’t looking for a specific souvenir, 3COINS is worth a quick browse. It’s the kind of store where you can discover small, inexpensive gifts and useful Japanese gadgets that you might not have thought to look for.

Budget-friendly gifts

Daiso
For inexpensive Japanese souvenirs, it’s hard to go wrong with Daiso.

Depending on the season, you may also find distinctly Japanese items such as fans, wind chimes, and other seasonal decorations.
One thing to keep in mind is that not every product at Daiso is made in Japan. Many items are manufactured in China or elsewhere, although they may feature Japanese designs, motifs, or themes.
So, if your priority is an authentic Japanese-made souvenir, check the product label before purchasing.
On the other hand, if you’re mainly looking for something affordable, fun, and Japanese-inspired, Daiso offers plenty of choices.

Affordable snacks: individually wrapped candies that can be easily shared.

The store offers a wide variety of Japanese-themed products, making it something of a one-stop shop for unique souvenirs.
You might find authentic Japanese pottery and tea alongside more playful items such as socks decorated with popular Japanese snack packaging. You can also find T-shirts featuring designs inspired by Japanese manhole covers — a fun choice for someone who wants to take home something that feels distinctly Japanese.
The variety is part of the appeal. Whether you’re shopping for someone who loves Japanese food, traditional crafts, quirky designs, or Japanese everyday culture, there’s a good chance you’ll find something interesting.
For travelers who want souvenirs that feel a little more personal and less like standard tourist merchandise, Tobi-Bito is worth adding to your shopping list.

Which Shop Should You Visit?
The best shop depends on what kind of souvenir you’re looking for.
If you want Japan-exclusive Disney merchandise, head to Bon Voyage, it will have the most Japan-specific products. The Disney store will have some unique plushies, bags, or characters you don’t often see in other parts of the world. For inexpensive and practical Japanese goods, check out 3COINS and Daiso. And if you want something more unusual — from pottery and tea to quirky Japanese designs — Tobi-Bito is a great place to browse.
One of the biggest advantages of shopping at Ikspiari is that you can visit several different types of stores in one location. That makes it especially convenient for families, groups, and travelers who want to pick up souvenirs without making a separate trip into central Tokyo. It is a great stop for a rainy day.
Important Note: Disney products are not available outside of the official Disney store in Ikspirai. Only the Disney store and Bon Voyage sell Disney products in the mall.
Tips for Souvenir Shopping Near Tokyo Disney
Give yourself enough time to browse. Ikspiari has more than just these four stores, so it can be easy to spend longer shopping than expected.
Check labels if “Made in Japan” matters to you. Japanese-themed products are not necessarily manufactured in Japan, particularly at large discount stores.
Look for seasonal products. Japanese stores frequently change their selections throughout the year. Summer, winter, and holiday periods can bring completely different souvenir options.
Shop for different budgets. You don’t need to spend a lot to find interesting Japanese souvenirs. Daiso and 3COINS are useful for inexpensive gifts, while Tobi-Bito can offer more distinctive pieces.
Don’t confuse the Disney Store with Bon Voyage. If you specifically want Tokyo Disney Resort merchandise, remember that Bon Voyage is a Tokyo Disney Resort-operated store and has its own merchandise selection.
