TOKYO, Nov 25 (News On Japan) –
A store featured as a model in the anime “Crayon Shin-chan” closed its doors on November 24th.
The Ito-Yokado Kasukabe store in Saitama Prefecture, known as the inspiration for “Sato Kokonokado” in the anime, had long been a beloved landmark.
At one point, the store even remodeled its signage to match the design portrayed in the anime, delighting fans and visitors.
A shopper expressed their feelings, saying, “I thought I could bid farewell without crying, but I couldn’t hold back. Still, I’m glad I was here to see its final day.”
Ito-Yokado plans to close 13 more stores by February next year.
