Fukuoka, Japan: Bandai Namco Cross Store, Canal City, Hakata
Looking for anything anime related in Hakata? Look no further, 'cause you'll find this store in Canal City.
Bandai Namco Cross Store
Japan in itself is already interesting for travelers but it definitely hits different for someone who watches anime. Just a background, I only started watching anime in 2020 so I didn't feel anything seeing several anime related stuff the first time I went to Hakata.
As someone who recently became a fan, I felt "kilig" that during our stay in Hakata, there were several time-limited One Piece exhibits there such as this Mugiwara Cross Store and the Canal Aqua Panorama.
LUCKYYYY!!
One Piece Water Spectacle 3 was totally unexpected. We went there for the Water Fountain Show and then we saw this schedule. We ate dinner in the mall (Saizeriya) then went back to the water fountain area at 21:00.

It was Doraemon that we saw in 2019.

Anyway, back to the Bandai Namco Cross Store Photos
We saw this on our last day in Hakata.
We were just killing time after having lunch at the Ramen Stadium and before heading to the airport. I wasn't able to look at all the Gashapon and exhibits inside because we only had about an hour to spare.
I went around a few Gashapon machines and Mugiwara Store. HAY NAKOO! Kinda missing circa 2019 when I didn't have an interest for anything anime-related. chos. HAHAHA!
When I searched the Google Map for "Gashapon," I only saw those in Parco Mall, Tenjin. We went there but there weren't a lot of options so I concluded that it's probably 'cause we weren't in Tokyo so the choices were limited not until we saw this store in Hakata. NANI?!
If you're an anime fan or someone who just like cool and cute stuff, better ready your wallet beforehand because you'll definitely find something you'd like. While these may have the coolest stuff, they may also have the weirdest and most random stuff as well.
Whether to be ready because you're spending a lot, or to be ready because you'd have to restrain yourself a lot, up to you.
This area was for the One Piece Card Game. I have no idea how the game is done though.
Mugiwara Cross Store was only until February 25, 2024 but watch out for new schedule. Shouldn't be the last time for them to have a One Piece Cross Store since the anime has a huge following. ehem
I don't always buy Gashapon Capsules but when I do, I always got the design I wanted. Kaya nawiwili!!! HAHA.
The only ones that got me trying my luck were Spy x Family and One Piece ones.
A huge store for Anime Merchandise.
This was our "Sayang naman" place out of all the places we visited. Like what I mentioned above, we were just killing time before our flight. We already spent our money shopping before this so we didn't have enough budget and luggage space to buy more stuff. HAHAHAHA. To think that Canal City was only a few minutes walk away from our hotel, really can't believe we failed to notice the store even if we passed by there on our way to Alpen during our second night in Fukuoka. 😂 There was even an escalator that leads to our hotel from this mall and we pass by that bridge/escalator on the way back to the hotel from the subway station.
Anyway, shouldn't be the last time. Hakata, Fukuoka?
Makabalik sana. <3
My first love!
Shun Oguri was the reason I started watching JDoramas more than a decade ago (Hana Yori Dango, Gokusen, Hana Kimi etc.) My younger self would be elated that I am finally able to visit Japan. HAHAHA. Nakatikim na rin ng daifuku na kinain ni Makino Tsukushi bago niya makita si Hanazawa Rui tapos nahuli sila ni Dumyoji Tsukasa. 😂

Everything, in time. 💖
@xtintina15 While fountain show in Canal City Mall is a nightly attraction, we chanced upon a One Piece Water Spectacle that was scheduled to be shown for only a week (2/19-2/25). My Zoro fangirl heart 💚 Snippets are Zoro biased. 🤣 キャナルアクアパノラマ Canal Aqua Panorama ONE PIECE WATER SPECTACLE 3 ワノ国編 #キャナルアクアパノラマ #CanalAquaPanorama #ONEPIECEWATERSPECTACLE3 #ワノ国編 #onepiece #ronoroazoro #onepieceph #zoro #luffy #anime #hakata #fukuoka #japantravel #fountainshow #onepieceanime #strawhatpirates #strawhats ♬ original sound - xtintina
