dropped by Ushiku for a lil bit
Some info for those of yall interested in stopping by, though I didn't really go anywhere beyond Ushiku Chateau:
- About 50 minutes from Ueno station, on the Joban line
- Ushiku Chateau is a 10 min walk away, restaurant closes at 4pm but the store (image 8) closes later
- Escado Ushiku, west exit from Ushiku station, is a mall which has alot of Liella displays (image 1-6)
- 南部珈琲, which still has a Yuripan campaign, lots on display including a book to write in (one of the pages has Saku-chan's own handwritten message), but do order something before entering the cafe's premises
- Service counter by the entrance sells Tomari and Natsumi's 住民票 (resident certificates) for 500 yen each
- いばらき自慢 (Ibaraki Jiman, image 5) also has merch on sale, all these stores are on 2F
Hope this info helps for anyone keen on visiting!
