What other travelers are saying about Tokyo Character Street
A fun hidden spot inside Tokyo Station, worth the adventure! We started our day in Ginza and decided to explore a bit more one of the things I love about Tokyo is how much you can see within a short 5–20 minute walk. We eventually made our way to Tokyo Character Street, hidden underground in the maze of historic Tokyo Station. My 14-year-old son, who loves anime (Naruto, Demon Slayer, One Piece, and a few others I can’t even remember right now), really wanted to check this place out.
While he’s not a big trinket collector (yet), he really enjoyed seeing all the cool items, touching things, and just experiencing the atmosphere. It was fun just watching him explore. The real surprise for me was Tokyo Banana that shop was awesome! The curry bread and the banana milkshake were absolutely phenomenal. I’m definitely coming back one day just for those milkshakes.
This place is located in the basement of Tokyo station. It's very crowded and bustling, with many shops featuring famous manga and anime characters. It took me a whole day to look around and shop on a rainy day. I'll come back next time and shop more.
I highly enjoyed walking through the Tokyo Character Street, there’s just so many different shops across almost every single anime/gaming fandom you can name. I loved the Pokemon Store and Kirby Cafe especially. One complaint is that there was just way too many people, which is understandable since it shares the same building as the Tokyo Station.
This is was my dream. I loveddddd walking through each store here and how there is a little something for everyone. My friends got matching shinchan and buriburi zaemon tote bag from the shinchan store and I think they were so cute!
So adorable!! Included franchises like Ghibli, Snoopy, Jackie the bear, Miffy, and many many more! Prepare for your wallet to be absolutely sucked dry 🥀
