Tokyo Toy Shops
There are many great toy shops in and around Tokyo, and after years of traveling and searching I have compiled a guide to some of the best around.
Hakuhinkan Toy Park – Tokyo
Location: Ginza, Tokyo
Nearest Stations: Shimbashi or Ginza (about 4 mins walk)
Hakuhinkan was one of the first toy shops I visited in Tokyo as it’s mentioned in pretty much all the guide books. It is by no means the best toy shop, but it’s worth a visit. The first floor contains a nice selection of novelty goods and strange gadgets and that’s where I tend to spend most of my time. The rest of the floors contain a good selection of Japanese and western toys so if you are just looking to get a few toys to bring back for friends and relatives this is a good place to visit.
Yamashiroya
Location: Ueno, Tokyo
Nearest Station: Ueno
Now this really is a great shop, Yamashiroya is spread across many floors it’s absolutely crammed with toys, games, gadgets; you name it, it’s in here somewhere. It contains great selections of both Japanese and western toys, with a nice Transformers and Star Wars selection. It is Very Hard to go into this shop without spending some money, even if it us just in the Gashapon machines outside.
A strange rule in this shop is that you have to pay for your items on the floor they are found on, so as you move up spending your money, you end up with more and more bags of items you have bought on the floors below.
Monster Japan
Location: Ebisu, Tokyo
Nearest Station: Ebisu
Monster Japan is a small shop hidden away on the upper floors of building in Ebisu, Tokyo and specialises in American toys and imports. Even though all the toys are imports you can still find a bargain, especially if the exchange rate is good. They have good ranges of Star Wars, Transformers, G.I.Joe, and toys from all the latest movies.
Kiddy Land
Location: Harajuku, Tokyo
Nearest Stations: Meijijingumae, Harajuku
Don’t let the name fool you, Kiddy Land is not just for kids, although you will find it a really busy place. Spread over seven floors this is a fantastic toy store for everyone.
On each floor you will find a different range of toys from all over the world. They have the largest collection of Snoopy and Peanuts toys I think I have ever seen and a great selection of some of the many cute and cuddly characters from Japans greatest anime cartoons.
Kiddy Land is a chain of stores with shops in other locations in Japan.
Astro Mike
Location: Harajuku, Tokyo
Nearest Stations: Meijijingumae, Harajuku
Astro Mike is a small toy shop hidden away in the back streets of Harajuku, Tokyo. Although it is only a few square metres in size it is packed floor to ceiling with toys of all kinds. From Smurfs to Star Wars it’s pretty much all in there. The staff have always been really friendly and eager to help which makes it well worth a visit, and it is only a short walk from Kiddyland.
Akihabara
Location: Akihabara, Tokyo
Nearest Station: Akihabara
Although Akihabara is best known for being the electric town selling all known electronics and gadgets, it’s also a great place for the toy collector.
As soon as you exit Akihabara station you are surrounded by shops big and small selling gadgets galore. But in between these you will find plenty of toy shops. Animate have a big store here, but most are small independent stores that come and go. Each time we have visited there have been different stores to find. This is also the best place to go to find Gashapon machines, which are on most corners and outside most stores.
Nakano Broadway
Location: Nakano, Tokyo
Nearest Station: Nakano
Nakano Broadway mall is the location of probably the biggest and best collection of toy and collectable shops in Tokyo. Located on the second, third and fourth floors it is absolutely crammed with small shops specialising in every kind of collectable Toy Old and new.
Some of my favourite shops in Nakano are Mandarake and Robot Robot. Mandarake has loads of different shops here each focusing on a different area. The Cosplay shop is worth a look. You can even take your old collectables there to trade in for cash.
It’s easy to spend an entire day here just browsing through the many small shops, each crammed to the brim with stuff.
Sunshine City
Location: Ikebukuro
Nearest Station: Ikebukuro
Sunshine city is one of the best all round shopping malls in Tokyo, we often spend an entire day looking around. On the toy shopping front there is a rather large Toys R Us in the basement that never fails to deliver. It always has a good selection of both Western and Japanese style toys. And some of the pre-school Kids Toys are so damn cute it’s hard no to get another Doreamon for your collection.
Outside Sunshine City you will find a small row of shops specialising in Manga including Animate and K-Books.

What to do in Japan? (Need japanese friend xD jk)?
Im planning to go to japan next year and i want to know some young hot spots to hang out and have fun. What are some good sushi places? I love japanese food! What are good restaurants? I love Video Games and cute little toys and stuff. I know little japanese and would i have to worry about getting around and stuff?What are good party spots? (Anyone that’s actually from japan would be of great help to me! and most likely best answer ;]) Please and thank you!
Harajuku, Ikekaburo, Shinjuku. All of these are popular places in Tokyo. But take my advice, try and go see some of the amazing cultural places in Japan, Sensoji Temple, Nikko, etc.
