In the beginning they carry toys and novelty items including many imported stuff for foreigners living near the store. They are one of the few exclusive places selling English books magazines as well. Sometimes people call it Japan's FAO Schwarz. They also introduced St. Valentine’s day and Halloween to Japanese people. People think the Kiddy Land is the gateway to Western modern cultures.
