We will unveil some of the most popular souvenirs among tourists, brand-new goods of this year, and what to look out for when you’re choosing souvenirs – all in one article!
To further enhance your souvenir shopping plans, also check our Disney’s 2018 Spring Season Souvenirs are here:
This collaboration between a popular treat and Mickey Mouse is a big hit!
Tokyo Banana 1,300 yen
Our merchandise pro at Disney confirms that this product is a top-seller! “Not only is the treat adorably adorned with Mickey heads, the caramel banana flavor is really good,” they say. With its tasty cream wrapped in a fluffy sponge cake, Tokyo Banana is so popular you could even call it the standard Tokyo souvenir these days. Although you can buy their products at certain train stations or directly from their store, Tokyo Disneyland is the only place selling this tasty Mickey collaboration. Though Tokyo Banana makes for a great souvenir, you might want to buy one box just for yourself as well!
These products are even featured in Narita Airport’s pamphlets
Tokyo Disneyland Mickey and Minnie with Traditional Japanese Garments and Umbrellas 3,800 yen each
“These Mickey and Minnie plush dolls are holding umbrellas with ‘Tokyo Disneyland’ written on them in Japanese. About half of the people buying them are from overseas. Since they are on display at Narita Airport and on the front cover of a pamphlet in the airport, there are several customers exclaiming ‘Here they are!!’ as they find them,” explains our contact at Tokyo Disneyland.
Standing 30cm tall, these plush dolls have quite the presence. There are several types to choose from, but the most memorable souvenir might be the ones wearing traditional Japanese clothing, always reminding you of your travels!
Just try hugging him once and you’ll want to take him home with you!
Winnie the Pooh Huggable Pillow (Large) 5,800 yen
Even the Disney staff seems to be quite in love with this goodie: “There are a lot of people hugging these tight as they take them home. It feels comforting and warm.”
The heart-healing Winnie the Pooh is available now as a huggable pillow. There are a variety of sizes of the plushie, but the large one apparently sells the best.
Great for keeping your hair out of your face or just to look good!
Hair Bands 1,500 to 1,600 yen each, Headbands 1,200 yen to 1,400 yen each
“Any products with ears out tend to sell pretty well,” says the Tokyo Disneyland staff.

Goods for your daily rice
Rice Scoop / Rice Scoop Holder 500 yen each, Winnie the Pooh Rice Scoop 800 yen

Fake Food Keychains 850 yen each

The hamburger-like keychain on the bottom was created in the image of the Glove-Shaped Pork Pau that is sold in the Boiler Room restaurant in Tokyo Disneyland. It even comes with the wrapping paper the original is served in!
