[picture blog] Japan trip: Yokohama Anpanman Children's Museum

We took a train from Shinjuku station (a short distance from our hotel), on the Shonan Shinjuku Line which offers a direct connection to Yokohama and the travelling time is around 30 minutes and it cost us 550Yen per trip.

 

 
 Yes! We are visiting the Yokohama Anpanman Children's Museum! It is an interactive museum dedicated to the popular Japanese cartoon character, Anpanman.

Anpanman is a superhero whose head is made of red bean paste which is known as Anpan in Japanese.

 

 
 
 
There is a gift shop in the museum, where you can find many Anpanman and friends related products.





 
They also sell snacks which feature Anmanpan and his friends. Apart from light snacks, there are  restaurants attached to the museum as well as sales of food gift sets that are available too...



 
We went to Uncle Jam Bakery, which is also known as Jam Ojisan to get some freshly baked buns.
 
 
In the bakery shop, they sell different types of character buns at a fixed price of 310Yen.
 

 
As Halloween is around the corner, they specially made some skeleton head buns too.

 
 
Baby got himself his favorite Sweet Red Bean Paste (Anpan) bun, and I picked up the Maple Syrup bun.

 


 
Apart from selling the buns on the first level, the bakery also has a sit-in cafe on the second level, so we brought our bread up to the cafe area to have them with some drinks.



 
I love the drink art of Anpanman!
 
 
I had an enjoyable time at the museum. Stay tuned for my next post on the sightseeing in Yokohama.

KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts.

What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder.

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence! It is suggested to be used as the first step in daily skin care. Apply it to cleansed skin first before applying the lotion, emulsion/serum and cream.  It is recommended for the product to be used twice a day - Once in the morning, and once in the evening.
