Japan’s first Line Friends Store opened last December 13, 2014 in Harajuku Tokyo, while their second store opened in Sendai in 2015. The Sendai store is now closed (as of 2017) and they have opened a new store in Fukuoka. If you are a Line Fanatic, you will surely go crazy with merchandise they are selling. From line stuff toy, clothes, jewelries to kitchen stuff they all have it. Kawaii!!
