HRC Universal Citywalk Osaka


Since we lost HRC Osaka, we had been waiting for this good news. HRC Universal Citywalk Osaka was opened in March 22,2001 just in front of Universal Studio Japan.

At the opening day, I had to work, so I visited this cafe at the night after work. I remember I was so surprised at the size of the mega store as well as the size of the restaurant.


Since then, I have visited this cafe many times, and have attended their official pin meeting every year.

HRC Tokyo


In 2001, I could finally visit HRC Tokyo that was the 1st cafe in Japan. I had business in Tokyo, so I was excited I could go to this historical cafe after the work.

HRC Tokyo has been located in Roppongi that has been famous for night life in Japan. This cafe was not huge cafe, but the mood of it had something special. I really felt the history !

Since then, I have visited HRC Tokyo many times. I always enjoy HRC Tokyo that could be the kind of memorabilia among HRC fans.

One of my best memory at HRC Tokyo was their official Pin Meeting that was held in 2004. I went to Tokyo by bullet train, and had great time with many of Japanese collectors(about 100 collectors). It is always fun to talk to people who have same hobby, right ?
