The grand opening became even more memorable with the appearance of global icon Hello Kitty and cosplayer Hakken, a Tokyo Tourism Ambassador. Their presence added vibrancy to the event as they engaged with the audience and participated in various store activities.
Hakken commented on the store opening, saying, “I am looking forward to what sort of things will be offered.” During his visit to the store, Hakken tried the omikuji (fortune-telling strips). He found the cypress fan recommended by the omikuji had “a relaxing scent.”
