As of this date, the English press release doesn't show the new location however there is a map in Japanese at the following URL. The temporary store is about 150m from the current one on a small (but famous and very interesting) side street called "Cat Street". If you say "Kiddyland" and "Cat Street" to any pedestrian, they'll point the way to you! Temporary location URL:
