As of April 2023, there are four Pokémon Centers in Tokyo. All of them are located in places where it is easy to stop by during sightseeing. I have compiled information on each of them, from access to facilities, so please choose the one you would like to visit!
Pokémon Center Tokyo & Pokémon Café
| Access | 10min. walk from Tokyo Station 5min. walk from Nihonbashi Station |
| Store size | ★★ |
| Theme Pokémon | Snorlax |
This is the only place in Tokyo that has a Pokemon café. It is quite difficult to get a reservation for the cafe, but if you want to enjoy a cute meal, give it a try. Read this article for more details about the café and how to make reservations.
Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo & Pikachu Sweets
| Access | 15min. walk from Ikebukuro Station soon from Higashi-Ikebukuro Station |
| Store size | ★★★★★ |
| Theme Pokémon | Miraidon |
This is the only place in Japan that offers self-service Pikachu Sweets. Reservations are not required, so it is easier to enjoy than the Pokémon Café. There is also a Pokémon GO Lab. and a Pokémon card game area, making it the most extensive in Japan.
Pokémon Center Shibuya
| Access | 10min. walk from Shibuya Station |
| Store size | ★★★ |
| Theme Pokémon | Mewtwo |
The size of the store alone is probably second only to Ikebukuro’s Mega Tokyo. Official stores of game companies such as Nintendo, CAPCOM, and KOEI TECMO are located on the same floor, making this floor a must for game lovers.
Pokémon Center Tokyo Skytree Town
| Access | Soon from Tokyo Skytree Station/Oshiage Station |
| Store size | ★★ |
| Theme Pokémon | Rayquaza |
Since it is located in a shopping mall just below Skytree, you can go there together with sightseeing of Skytree. Check out the limited-edition goods that are only available here in collaboration with Skytree.
Pokémon Store Tokyo Station
The Pokémon Store Tokyo Station is a small store, but you can go there in between transfers. Compared to the Pokémon Center, the selection of items is limited, but it is a great place to go when you are short on time. There are many other character stores in the area, so check out your favorite character store together.
My recommendation for Pokémon Center MegaTokyo!
Book a personalized video on Cameo for $50 or less.
The Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo in Ikebukuro is the largest flagship store. Its size and facilities are unmatched. Even when it is crowded, there is plenty of space, so it is easy to see what is going on. Although we introduced it as a recommendation for playing Pokémon GO, it is still a must-visit place for Pokémon fans.
