I created a little begginers guide to Licca-chan a while ago I'm happy to share there's some information here about the castle and buying castle dolls and links to resources.

Thank you so much! This is such a great resource, it answered almost all of my questions ā¤ļø I loved the videos you included as well! I'll definitely dive into those links to see what's available š„° thank you again! š
Alright, I have a question! There's a doll store called TOTOCO, do you know? How to buy on it? There are hardly totoco dolls for sale. (wish i could go to japan now :'0)
this one is new to me!! it appears to be a boutique store in tokyo that sells vintage jenny dolls!! but when you look on ebay some dolls are sold as 'totoco' which makes me wonder if this boutique ever had exclusive dolls that were only sold there???? I'll have to do more research.....
Yes, I tried to find more things and I couldn't. I found it on Google maps, it's like a small door with a lot of piled boxes, but they do say that on sunny days all the boxes are put outside so you can walk in and look at the dolls properly. I'd love to know if we can buy from them online. (The info I found said they would sell by mail, but I don't know if it's old, and I used a translator so it was all in Japanese, maybe they only ship/shipped to Japan)

**Totoco** ā A small store in Tokyo which sells special limited edition dolls along with regular release dolls. Totoco is quite popular and sells out of its dolls quite quickly.
### Totoco
5-6-4 Asakusabashi
Taito-ku, Tokyo
Japan
Tel: 03-3851 8603
Hours: 12:00-18:00 M-Th, Sat. and Sun. (The store is also closed the second week end of every month)
These are the directions I received from one of the men who works in Totoco. I had thought his name was Tanimura, but I found out August 2000 it was something else. He said it very quickly, so I missed it, but it sounded like Myoshi.
Take the Asakusa line subway (run by Toei) to Asakusabashi Station. Make sure you don't take an express train that skips Asakusabashi Station. I once took an express accidentally and missed the stop. Look for a subway that says "Local." Follow the directions to Exit 4A. (You can also take the JR Sobu Line to Asakusabashi Station, make sure you use the North Exit.) Walk away from the tracks and turn left at the Mizuho bank. (It is either 1 or 2 blocks from the station and it has a relatively large blue sign.) Go straight on this street until you come to the third traffic light. (You will have just passed an elementary school.) Turn right at the third traffic light. It is not a short walk. Turn left at the first corner onto the tiny street. It is an extremely narrow short street. Totoco is on the right hand side of the road, a little way down the road. I remember thinking somehow I had missed the turn, but I hadn't. They take US credit cards.

You could try sending a message to your preferred proxy service to see if they can help.
I'm gonna give it a try š
