It's so nice discovering KZbinrs you happened to stumble upon are also huge Gaiman fans. I first read him back in 2012 or 13 and I've been in love ever since. Ocean is definitely my favourite of his works - it feels like a warm hug from a father after a bad day. I'm so glad you're loving him so

Oooh yay. i love Daikanyama T-site. That has a MASSIVE selection. But the book store I spent the most time in was in Shinjuku. I think it was Kinokuniya (which ever one is above Nitori Shinjuku, on the Eastern side of the station). Tower Records Shibuya also has a really good English books section. Some Book Offs will have a small second hand section if you're wanting cheap ones (especially Shinjuku and Ikebukuro) 😊

It probably depends on your kids' attention spans. The books are quite wordy, but with simple language that sounds really beautiful when read aloud. That being said, it is a picture book. I just gave it a quick google, and it says 7+ 😊 Probably a similar age level to Dr Seuss books. hope that helps!
