Our Story: From Japan to Canada, bringing the spirit of anime shop Markham to life
Doki Doki Land was born from a passion for bringing the magic of Japan to Canada. Having traveled to Japan many times, our favorite memories were always centered around the food. We also loved the vibrant shopping districts and the thrill of the arcades. That unforgettable experience was something we knew we had to share with our local community.
In 2021, we officially opened our doors—a "Wonderland" filled with new, exciting collectibles and surprises! Whether you visit our Markham hobby shop in person or shop with us online, our goal is simple. We want you to feel that special "Doki Doki" excitement every single time.
What Does "Doki Doki" Mean?
In Japanese, Doki Doki (ドキドキ) is an onomatopoeia for a heart beating quickly with anticipation or excitement. It’s that wonderful feeling you get right before you open an anime blind box. You might feel it when you pull a ticket for Ichiban Kuji. You also feel it when you finally find that rare figure you’ve been hunting for. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for choosing Doki Doki Land. We are honored to be part of your collecting journey! ♡‿♡
