Shibuya Parco 6F Guide: Nintendo, Pokemon Center, Jump Shop & Coupon Tips
Tokyo Mate
"CYBERSPACE SHIBUYA"
If you are an otaku or game fan fast-traveling to Tokyo, this place is your main quest.
Shibuya Parco 6th Floor is a subculture paradise gathering Nintendo, Pokemon, Shonen Jump, and Capcom all in one floor.
Here is a complete breakdown of what to buy, photo spots, and Tax-Free availability (Crucial!) for each store.
1. Nintendo TOKYO (Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing)
The first official Nintendo store in Japan. It's not just a shop; it's practically a museum for Nintendo fans.
✅ Must-See Statues
You will be greeted by high-quality statues of legendary characters. Don't forget to take photos with Mario, Link (Zelda), Isabelle (Animal Crossing), and Inkling (Splatoon)!
✅ Exclusive Goods Lineup
From plushies to stationery and apparel, the quality is top-notch.
Super Mario: Shibuya exclusive statues and 8-bit dot goods.
Kirby: 30th Anniversary goods and pink items.
Animal Crossing: Kitchenware and cute interior items.
🚨 Tax-Free Info: ❌ NOT AVAILABLE
Important! Nintendo TOKYO does NOT offer tax-free shopping.
Since they primarily target the domestic Japanese market, you cannot get the 10% tax refund here. Keep this in mind when budgeting!
✅ Controller Button Collection (Gachapon) 🕹️
"Wait, isn't this...?" If you visit the store, you can't miss the "Controller Button Collection" gachapon.
They turned the actual buttons of historic Nintendo consoles (Famicom, NES, N64, GameCube) into keychains. The click feeling is reproduced perfectly!
2. Pokemon Center Shibuya (Mewtwo, Skating Pikachu)
Unlike other cheerful locations (like Ikebukuro or Nihonbashi), Shibuya's Pokemon Center has a cool "Black & Street" concept.
✅ Iconic Photo Spot: Mewtwo
At the entrance, you will find a Life-sized Mewtwo sleeping in a cultivation tank. It moves and breathes (!) realistically. This is the landmark of the Shibuya store, so a video/photo is mandatory.
✅ Shibuya Exclusive Goods
- Graffiti Pikachu: Plushies with street art graffiti on hats and clothes.
- Crystal Pikachu: Luxury Pikachu covered in Swarovski crystals (Very expensive!).
- Pokemon Design Lab: A service where you can customize your own Pokemon T-shirt using a large touchscreen. (Warning: There is usually a waiting time for printing).
✅ Pokemon Card (TCG) Buying Tips
If you are a collector looking for packs, here are the rules for the Shibuya store (as of 2025):
- Ask at the Register: Popular booster packs are often kept at the counter (=Cashier), not on the shelves. Ask the staff!
- Purchase Limits: To prevent resale, strict limits like "5 packs per person" apply. Popular sets sell out in the morning.
- Shrink Wrap Removal: Even if you buy a box, staff will remove the shrink wrap at the counter. Keep this in mind if you want a sealed collection.
✅ Birthday Benefits 🎂
If you visit during your birthday month, show your passport/ID to receive a special "Birthday Card" and "Sticker"!
🚨 Tax-Free Info: ⭕️ AVAILABLE
Unlike Nintendo, Pokemon Center offers Tax-Free shopping!
Requirement: Purchase over 5,500 yen (including tax). Passport is required.
3. Jump Shop (One Piece, JJK, Haikyuu)
The official shop for Shonen Jump characters. A paradise for anime lovers.
✅ Popular Collections
- One Piece: Gear 5 Luffy goods are huge right now.
- Jujutsu Kaisen & Haikyuu!!: Massive selection of character goods.
- Slam Dunk & My Hero Academia
- Random Boxes: Try your luck with trading can badges or specialized cards.
🚨 Tax-Free Info: ❌ NOT AVAILABLE
Unfortunately, Jump Shop does NOT offer Tax-Free shopping.
This is because the shop sells many publications and items with complex copyright regulations.
4. Capcom Store (Monster Hunter, Resident Evil)
Just across from Nintendo, you'll find the Capcom Store. The giant controller and Ryu (Street Fighter) statue greet you.
✅ Must-Buy Items
- Monster Hunter: Felyne/Palico plushies, "Potion" water bottles, cooked steak cushions.
- Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Saiban) & Resident Evil (Biohazard): Rare goods for hardcore fans.
🚨 Tax-Free Info: ⭕️ AVAILABLE
Capcom Store offers Tax-Free shopping! (Over 5,500 yen purchase + Passport).
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
