Kantou Chopper Keychains! ♥ ご当地チョッパーマン: 関東

Second part of my Chopper ご当地(gotouchi) keychain collection~! The special thing about these is that you can only get them at the specified places they're limited in, so it's like an adventure of sorts collecting them! Sadly I did not realize this early on in my Chubu trip, so I did not manage to get Kanazawa or Toyama ones :(

This part will be the Kantou ones I collected. Kantou is the region in Japan where Tokyo is located. It's between the two regions of Chubu (to the west) and Tohoku (to the east). The Chubu keychains I collected can be found here~ The Tohoku keychains here.
