Best Living Japan – Tokyo Travel Guide Tokyo with Kids Guide for Globally Minded Families
The TOC Shopping Center is a bit tattered (built in 1970), but if you are looking for free parking and a one-stop for kids, baby, home and crafting items TOC is the perfect location. I shop at the TOC at least once every few months to stock up on kids/baby products at Akachan Honpo, buy 100 yen items at Daiso, quick clothing needs at Uniqlo and craft/sewing items at Yuzawaya. There are also various discount stores for sports and kids shoes, furniture and dishes. The TOC shopping 
center is a bit of a treasure hunt, but a great place to spend 1/2 a day wandering the 
floors. You can also enjoy lunch at one of the dozen or so shops on the B1 level. Our favorite is Wako Tonkatsu which has children’s sets with toy gifts!

Went there today and indeed it’s a one stop shop for craft, kids and home items. Please note though akahan honpo and studio alice are on the 5th floor. The 4th floor I think are for household items. Thanks for the guide!
Hi Daisy, isn`t it great? Thanks for the floor correction. Noted. -Sandra
