We're at Shinjuku to renew our 3-day metro passes when we figure it's time to check out these department store eats. The basement of the Big Camera in Shinjuku has a supermarket that would put a DJs food hall to shame, and this is one of the smallest. Individually wrapped melons, all kinds of cheese, Iberico magic, everything is here. We spot a sign that says there's an Alice in Wonderland themed restaurant on the floor below - we're off.

The kids have been on an easter egg hunt around the monorail stations, with only one stop left to collect we complete their hunt before heading to the mall for some brunch.We discover a Disney store at the mall with more Beauty & The Beast merch than the girls can comprehend.
