Namco Namja Town
Saturday October 02, 2010
Namco Namja Town? What? Never heard of it? It’s only the most bad ass haunted house gyoza stadium dessert theme park EVERRRRRRRRRR!
OK, well maybe you have heard of it! Kudos for being awesome
It’s located at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro
Mike & I went there for lunch mostly plus dessert and the creepy kitty-themed haunted house. OK, actually some parts of this place DID scare me! There’s this one part where you go to look through a door peephole and as you do it slams something really loud & heavy against the door you’re leaning on and it’s scary as shit! Haahaa
My favorite part was the “Gyoza Stadium“ and it’s why we went. There’s a bunch of food stales all selling different types of gyoza from all over Japan. It is nearly impossible to choose! And the whole time the stall owners are calling you over saying theirs is the best, try it try it!
There was an event going on while we were there for cool summer gyoza. They even had a sorta fruits mitsumame type gyoza. I was thinking of getting it but got ice cream instead. Here’s the event info from the site. Though it’s ended now They always have events going though it seems~~
The other event going on was a Monster Hunter 3 collab event! OK, I don’t know if you’ve heard about Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airu Village but holy crap those kitties were EVERYWHERERERER! And they’re crazy adorable! Apparently they were a part of the Monster Hunter 2 game and were so popular they got a spin-off? I’m not 100% sure because I
- Haven’t ever played Monster Hunter
- Don’t even own a PSP
I’m hoping amongst hope that Capcom brings this game out to the US on the DS (*cough* yea, I don’t own a PSPPPPPP)
Anyway I ate one of its faces!!
This was the special dessert at the Magic Snow stall. Their little faces made of this stuff that’s a mix between a snow cone & ice cream. It’s like creamy ice? It doesn’t come with the chocolate syrup but I paid the extra 50 yen to have that sweet stuff! It’s strawberry flavored and damn sweet. Like… EXTREMELY that it was almost sickening. I said ALMOST! I ate the whole thing happily. It was too cute anyway. His nose was a coffee bean~
Scanned in the flier from the event if you want to see ALL the special Monster Hunter Kitteh treats! It’s really amazing how cute some of these get for edible goodies!
There’s actually a huge selection of desserts here. Freezers full of strange ice cream flavors like curry and snake called “Cup Ice Museum” and also some black colored gelato called “Nero” that draws a crowd. I didn’t try it. You get full FAST here!
There’s also some other restaurants here too~~ really, this is a big place full of delicious foods. You’ve gotta check out the fliers below for the Thriller restaurant!
OK, enough food! Though it IS a food theme park
Here are some snaps from the rather large portion of the park that’s a haunted house! Haunted cats and haunted lanterns line the walkways. You go into different rooms and trigger events

Looks SO CUTE~~!! I love love love the kitty desserts & lol-ed so much at your ‘eating its face,’ haha! XD
The haunted part would have freaked me out though~ I so don’t do well with haunted houses of any sort (even if they are cute & kitty-themed! lol) -
I’ve heard of this place before but haven’t been. :(
Definitely a must visit place I think! I LOVE themeparks~ :D
I am kinda scared of scary stuff though. huuuu. o_O -
Wow, awesome photos. We really enjoyed the couple of times we have visited there. It is such an interesting place. We have not tried those amazing deserts yet,though. :-)

Looks like a cute place! I’m a real wimp when it comes to haunted houses. Even ones that aren’t scary freak me out lol. I think it’s the tension building up of waiting for something to jump out at you XD
-

All those desserts really make me want to visit there.. (^O^;;) -

They have this place down in Atlanta called “Suno.” It’s just like what you described – the snow cone/ice cream thing. It’s pretty good, but not super sweet. The kitty looks so yummy!

Definitely got to remember to take a look.
The haunted house especially for the lols.Curry gyoza… Cheese gyoza, OMG

I’d really like to go there if I go to Tokyo! I mean, FOOD theme park? When I heard it I didn’t have an image of it too much because I was like ‘wtf, food? theme park?’ but it still sounded really cool. And now that I’ve seen your images I SERIOUSLY WANT TO GO RIGHT NOW hahahaha!
Although I’d probably avoid the haunted house part (if that is possible? I do hope it is haha) because I am the worst chicken out there… XD
The kitty ice cream looks so cuuute! -
That ice cream looks almost way too cute to be eaten.
Mmmmm chocolate sauce you’re making me hungry.Ps: I’m a new reader. Your blog looks really cute!
xoxo
