Best Tapioca Shops Converge In Tapiocaland Tokyo

It’s Tapioca overload in every way possible.

A lot of trends are capturing the hearts of Japanese young people these days such as foreign cosmetics, ‘unko’ or poop designed desserts and animal cafes, but the most “booming” or “trending” of them all is Tapioca or Bubble Tea. Tapioca  has its origin from Taiwan and this Taiwanese drinks captured the hearts of tea and milk lovers all over the globe. Today, we will be visiting the newly opened Tapiocaland in Tokyo and checkout the drinks they have to offer, the activities we can do inside & many more! Join me again as I wander and discover what’s ‘“in” in Tokyo. 

Upon arriving inside the Tapiocaland, you will be handed a series of information cards and pamphlets which includes your tickets to free welcome drinks. Their purpose for putting this up is to let you wander into your dream Tapiocaland so the place is divided into different “spots” where you can take a photo with tapiocas. They have a tapioca inspired locker corner, a paste pink swing with tapioca background, some areas filled with black pearls and a giant cup ramen space. You can interact with each space freely but at times you ma have to line up to use them. 

There are four different tapioca sellers present within the shop where you can buy Tapioca teas made originally in Japan and some from other parts of the world including Taiwan. Each shop has their own tapioca design which makes them standout in their own way. 

We stayed in the shop for about an hour and we enjoyed taking pictures in each of the different areas. Most of the visitors were young ladies and parents together with their kids, I guess because the kids an enjoy playing inside and they offer refreshing drinks which lets the visitors escape from the hot summer weather. What we liked about the area is that it has a lot of sitting spaces and standing tables. It’s also not that crowded compared to other installations so we had a good and peaceful time inside. I recommend you to buy your tickets in advance so you can save some money.
