Pokemon Center Tokyo 2007/6/12 21:42
Does the Pokemon Center in Tokyo still exist? I was planning on visiting in August, but I noticed the website is no longer available. If it is still around, is there any place to find English directions? Especially for which exit to use from Tokyo Station.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know what Station is on that map though...

Ahh, that's what that was.... 2007/12/11 07:27
We'd done a trip to the fish market, then walked through the traditional gardens nearby, and then walked down to the station.

Kids were lined up down the stairs and out along the street, waiting to enter a building with Pickachu pics on it's window.

Standing in a line for 2 hours with my kids waiting to go into such a place would be one of the Circles of Hell for me. But the Japanese seem to be patient in that way. Don't go on the weekend.

I was wondering, is there a similar Nintendo store?

I know there is a Square-Enix store in Tokyo, where you can get Square-Enix related goods, but is there a Nintendo store like that one?

If you are going to the Pokemon center on Dec.18th, it is best to go there at 11am as soon as the shop is opened, or in the evening around 7pm, just to avoid the crowd. The shop will be opened everyday from 11am to 8pm in December.
The shop is on the 2nd (or the 1st for the British)floor of the Shiodome-shibarikyu building, 2min walk from the JR Hamamatsucho station. You can also pop into the beautiful Shibarikyu garden if you go there during the day.

it exists, but it is nou huge ! 2008/11/24 04:55
Hi
I went there beg of November, so it exists : ;-)
Now, don't imagine a huge shop. My daughter was looking for a specific pokemon item that she didn't found. So they have a lot of recent stuff, but it i snot a huge shop (IMHO).

The last thread for this subject was in 2008. May I know if the Pokemon store near the Hamamatsucho Station is still there?

Yes. And I don't think there are any plans to move it.

Are all the centres the same? 2010/9/16 16:48
Can anyone tell me if the Pokemon Centre in Fukuoka or Osaka is an interactive centre as well or is it just a shop? We will be in Tokyo before we get to Fukuoka and Osaka so was hoping to get advice as to which centre is best to take the kids to.

Cheers,
Liz

Not quite sure what you mean by interactive?

Loads of merchandise and electronic machines for playing in one section, but primarily a shop to buy anything Pokemon.

Heaven for my three boys, not quite a circle of hell for me but my husband waits on the outside chairs and I supervise the purchasing :)

HTH?

Pokemon Center in Hamamatsucho 2011/1/27 02:10
We've been to Pokemon Center in Hamamatsucho and was not that impressed although it was indeed filled with Pokemon Merchandise. I was expecting it to be bigger and should have had even the old pokemons. When we came, most of the stuff were already from the new Black and White Pokemon game.

Here are some photos we took:
