Found a cute melon pan shop right outside/underneath the Gakugeidaigaku train station in an area called “Gakudai-Ichiba”. Apparently this place just opened on April 11th, 2012 and it’s one of melonpan factory’s ten locations. The place smells amazing when you pass by… you simply can’t walk by without buying one.
Their most popular flavor is the plain original (170yen), and it’s pretty good! Naturally, it’s best eaten right when you buy it. I’ve also tried their maple flavor but it’s not that much different than the plain so I would stick to the original. They also have some other more wacky flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, green tea, cinamon, caramel and orange if you’re feeling adventurous… If that’s not enough, they also sell croissants and apple pie. A good place to grab a snack!

Yes, the place smells amazing. It makes you want to buy one everytime you pass by!
Is this place still open? It looks like they took down their website.
I was in the area today so I decided to stop by and check why the website was gone. Sadly, looks like this location has recently closed :( However, if you wish to visit them, they are located in 6 other locations in Tokyo so you could still get a bite of their melonpan. http://melonpan.mymp.jp/
In case you haven’t seen this one, Melonpan Kyuei is also well known and yummy.
