We chart Hyper Japan’s top 7 attractions for culture vultures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not everyone can afford to splash out on a return ticket to Tokyo, so for those that can\u2019t Hyper Japan is there to immerse visitors in modern, Japanese pop culture. From anime to catchy Japanese pop, we\u2019ve explored Hyper Japan to choose the top 7 must see\u2019s at the Japanese culture convention.<\/p>\n

COSPLAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wandering round Hyper Japan, you can almost imagine that you\u2019re at Harajuku Station on a Sunday morning, surrounded by the hoards of local cosplay kids. Dressed up like their favourite manga characters and alter egos, the cosplay kids of Hyper Japan are the stars of the show and are more than willing to pose for photos. While a full cosplay costume can set you back hundreds of pounds, visitors can browse the rails of for a bargain Lolita style skirt or a synthetic wig in girly pastels.<\/p>\n

SWEETS VS SUSHI<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first word everyone associates with Japan is nearly always \u2018sushi\u2019 and while sushi is a big hit at Hyper Japan, we think visitors should take a lesson from the locals and give into cravings from their sweet tooth. From the famous Pocky pretzel sticks to Kit Kat\u2019s exclusive range of Japanese flavours, we\u2019re sure there will be something to satisfy your palette. Wasabi Kit Kat anyone?<\/p>\n

JAPANESE SING-A-LONG<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Japanese are well known for being partial to a spot of karaoke and Hyper Japan is no different. With a Karaoke competition as well as performances from Japan\u2019s best Karaoke stars, you\u2019re bound to get in the mood for a sing-a-long. Who cares if you don\u2019t speak Japanese, the poppy beats and catchy dance moves will be enough to get you joining in.<\/p>\n

GET LASHED<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one thing that can be said about Japanese beauty industry experts it\u2019s that they know their eyelashes. From the natural lashes to extreme falsies, Japan\u2019s beauty bloggers are all over eye enhancement. With possibly the world\u2019s best eyelash glue \u2013 three day wear ladies \u2013 it\u2019s well worth stocking up on Hyper Japan\u2019s beauty goodies.<\/p>\n

BAG A PLUSHIE<\/strong><\/p>\n

We might be grown-ups now and well past the stage of having teddybears on the bed, but it\u2019s still so hard to resist a kawaii plushie. Withthe largest collection of Japanese favourites, from Hello Kitty to Pokemon, there\u2019s a plushie at Hyper Japan to tug at everyone\u2019s heartstrings. We were particularly fond of the Moschino-esque\u00a0cuddly fries and a plushie collection from the Plants vs Zombies game.<\/p>\n

RETRO GAMING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fancy reliving the early 00\u2019s with some 16-bit gaming? At Hyper Japan, as well as seeing the latest offerings from the likes of Sony and Nintendo, you can also rewind to the years of games gone by. We caught visitoors playing retro Mario Adventures and old school Pok\u00e9mon Colour and couldn\u2019t help feeling a little nostalgia towards the days of Game Boy Advance.<\/p>\n

\"HyperJapan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

HARAJUKU STYLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harajuku girls are so notoriously cool that Gwen Stefani even wrote a song about them. Tokyo\u2019s Harajuku district is the place where trends are born and Hyper Japan allows visitors to get a sneak peak of what\u2019s hot in the world\u2019s capital of cool. Whether it\u2019s looking for style inspiration at one of the many fashion shows or searching out the next UNIF amongst the Fringe Fair, you\u2019re sure to come away from Hyper Japan with plenty of ideas and a significantly lower bank balance.<\/p>\n
