Tokyo Character Street 東京キャラクターストリート

A basement arcade of around 30 official character shops inside Tokyo Station's First Avenue, Ghibli, Pokémon, Rilakkuma, Snoopy, Hello Kitty, Ultraman and TV-network stores, perfect for last-minute souvenirs before a Shinkansen.

About

On B1 of Tokyo Station First Avenue (Tokyo Eki Ichibangai), on the Yaesu side, Tokyo Character Street packs official stores for Japan's biggest characters into one corridor: Donguri Republic (Studio Ghibli), Pokémon Store, Rilakkuma Store, Snoopy Town, Kirby, Chiikawa Land, Tomica, Shin-chan, Hello Kitty and the shops of broadcasters like TBS and Fuji TV. Many stock Tokyo Station-only versions, Pikachu in a station-master uniform, Kirby with a Shinkansen. Next door, Tokyo Ramen Street and Tokyo Okashi Land (snack makers' showrooms) make this a one-stop souvenir run.

Highlights

• About 30 official character shops in one underground street
• Tokyo Station-exclusive designs (station-master Pikachu, Shinkansen-themed goods)
• Donguri Republic Studio Ghibli shop
• Next to Tokyo Ramen Street and Tokyo Okashi Land

Tips

• From the JR gates, follow signs for the Yaesu Underground Central Exit, then First Avenue B1
• Open from 10:00, great for a final shop before an afternoon train
• Many shops have separate opening hours; check the First Avenue site
• Store luggage in the Yaesu-side lockers first, the corridors are tight
