Hey it’s Wes and Chanda and welcome to DinkLife.
On this adventure, we visited Ikspiari, the shopping and dining district right outside Tokyo Disney Resort. Think of it as Japan’s version of Downtown Disney but on a whole new level—four floors filled with everything from quirky boutiques and bookstores to American chains like Outback and Starbucks. You could spend hours here, and we did just that.
As we explored, we found unique shops like a beauty vending machine store, a Snoopy-themed boutique, and a full grocery market packed with wild Japanese snacks. One of our favorite parts was stumbling into the Gotcha Pawn capsule toy store and a full drugstore with everything you’d need while traveling. The variety here is insane—if you need it, Ikspiari probably has it.
The best part? Dinner. We found a hidden tonkatsu restaurant on the top floor and had what might be the best pork katsu we’ve ever tasted. Juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked—no knife needed. The entire meal with drinks for both of us came to just $36 USD. Total steal. It was a reminder that great food doesn’t have to be expensive—especially in Japan.
If you’re visiting Tokyo Disney, make time for Ikspiari. Whether you’re shopping, snacking, or just wandering, it’s a fun stop that’s well worth your time. Remember, as always, whatever you decide to do, just get out there and do it!
