All Reviews of Tokyo Character Street

As expected of Tokyo First Avenue, it was incredibly crowded and lively! The food, souvenir, and anime shops were all packed. This place takes a lot of time, so visitors should be prepared—there's no way you'll spend less than two hours here (and you might only manage to visit 1 or 2 stores), unless you have a very specific destination. I only went to JUMP SHOP, and I was glad I hadn't planned to visit any other stores because there were seriously so many people, oh my god!!….
The photo shows the prices and options on the machine at JUMP SHOP. It only accepts cash⚠️ Taiwan later got the same machine, but oddly enough, it only accepts electronic payments there🫣

Tokyo Character Street in First Avenue Tokyo Station is home to many popular character shops, including Pokémon, Chiikawa, Sanrio, Sumikkogurashi, Crayon Shin-chan, Doraemon, and Studio Ghibli. Every store has its own unique charm, and there’s so much to see. It’s definitely worth checking out if you love anime and cartoon characters.

This whole street is packed with anime character merchandise, from Pokémon to all kinds of cartoon favorites. The shops are close together, so it’s really fun and easy to browse.

I saw so many limited-edition items here—stuff you just can't get in Hong Kong!

The Tokyo Station exclusive Pokémon items are super hard to get, but it's totally worth trying at least once!

My little sister loves Crayon Shin-chan, and she was so happy to find her favorite stationery here!
