Friday, May 3, 13Tama Depa is the tamagotchi department store located within the Harajuku district of Japan. The store is conveniently located within miles of the location where the first tamagotchi’s were user tested. We felt that since this is the ultimate tamagotchi stop, we decided to put one of our monuments in front of the store.
Friday, May 3, 13We also decided to put a monument in front of the Toys R Us building in time square. Times square is a bustling area just like Harajuku. This Toys R Us store is the biggest one ever built.
