Enter the Cyberspace of Anime Culture

Immerse yourself in the beating heart of modern otaku culture at Pokemon Center Shibuya, the crown jewel of Shibuya Parco's 'Cyberspace' floor. Unlike any other Pokemon Center in Japan, this location embraces a sleek, futuristic aesthetic, famously guarded by a life-sized animatronic Mewtwo hibernating in a glowing tank. Beyond just shopping for exclusive 'Graffiti Art' Pikachu merchandise, a guided tour transforms this visit into a deep dive into Japanese pop culture. You'll explore the entire 6th-floor entertainment hub—home to the Nintendo Tokyo Store, Capcom Store, and Jump Shop—while expert guides navigate the crowds, assist with tax-free procedures, and reveal hidden anime filming spots in the surrounding streets of Shibuya.

Dream come true!

The Pokemon Center Shibuya is unlike any other! seeing the Mewtwo in the tank was a core memory unlocked. Our guide made it so easy to find and helped us with the tax-free line which was confusing. Highly recommend the full anime tour!

Best day in Tokyo

Booked the anime culture tour and it was fantastic. We didn't just see the Pokemon Center, but also hidden game bars and the Nintendo store next door. The guide knew exactly when to go to avoid the worst crowds.

Great shopping, busy crowds

The shop is amazing, very futuristic. The tour was helpful because Shibuya Parco is huge. We got the exclusive graffiti Pikachu. Just be prepared for many people.

Otaku paradise

Absolutely loved the vibe. The 'Real Anime Culture Tour' is a must if you are a fan. Our guide took us to a great izakaya afterwards. The Mewtwo statue is insanely cool.

Excellent guide

Even as a local, I learned new things about Shibuya's anime history. The tour structure was perfect for my visiting friends from Canada.

Fun but chaotic

Shibuya is crazy! Having a guide was a lifesaver. The Pokemon Center is smaller than the Ikebukuro one but way cooler in design. Loved the Swarovski crystal Pokemon displays.

Superb!

My kids loved it. The guide was very patient and helped us find the specific plushies we wanted. The Nintendo store right next door was a bonus.
