What other travelers are saying about Tokyo Character Street
One of the best places visited in Japan for unique branded merchandise. One Piece, Jump Comics, TV Tokyo and Pokemon Store are some of the best variants seen of their stores. There is also heaps more, with a Travel store with countless branded luggage, travel accessories etc.
Visited March 2024. It's a shopping mall consisting of two long concourses located underneath Tokyo Station. Would definitely recommend a visit if already in Chiyoda or passing through the station. There's so many themed stores to chopse from as an anime/Japanese media fan. Our favorite was the Godzilla store. There are also several ramen shops we'd recommend trying out.
Yes, it’s true that Shopping Heaven exists. If you are interested in Japanese Animation or Manga or even older well know characters then you will find something here. The Pokemon Center was packed with touchy, loud tourists that block walkways, but the merchandise for sale is creative and interesting. Even the food that you can buy is character themed such as Kirby. One Piece has a great store here, as well as many fantastic restaurants.
Be overwhelmed by colours and cuteness of all brands you can imagine. Look out for pop-up stores with special series. Same lane to get freshly fried calbee potato chips.
This place set under Tokyo station is a labyrinth of cool famous Japanese anime characters and there are a lot of stores dedicated to these characters such as Miffy, Snoopy, dragon ball, and a whole bunch of others. There are also pop up stores that appear here where you can get limited edition merchandise. It’s worth a visit if you are an anime fan. And also if you like collecting things. Not too far is ramen street which has a lot of choices of great ramen to fill your stomach after the shopping spree
