Nintendo TOKYO, Pokémon Center Shibuya, and Jump Shop: A Guide to Shibuya PARCO's 6th Floor

Published September 21, 2026 · Wayfinder

Three of the most popular character stores in Tokyo share a single floor. Nintendo TOKYO, Pokémon Center SHIBUYA, and Jump Shop all sit on the 6th floor of Shibuya PARCO, which means a fan of games, Pokémon, and Shonen Jump manga can cover all three without leaving the building. That convenience is also the catch: everyone knows it, and the floor gets busy. This guide explains what each store offers and how to handle the crowds.

The setup: one floor, three flagships

Shibuya PARCO is a department store a few minutes' walk from Shibuya Station. Take the escalators or elevator to the 6th floor and you're there. The three stores are open 10:00 to 21:00, in line with the building's hours, which gives you a long window and means an evening visit is possible after other sightseeing.

Nintendo TOKYO

Nintendo's official store, stocked with merchandise from Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and the rest of the catalogue, alongside games and hardware. Much of the merchandise is exclusive or hard to find outside Japan, which is why the store draws such consistent crowds.

The timed-ticket system: On weekends and holidays, Nintendo TOKYO uses free timed entry tickets to manage the crowd. You don't pay for them, but you do need one, and they're issued for specific entry windows. The practical effect is that you can't simply walk in on a Saturday afternoon; you collect a ticket and come back at your slot. On weekdays, entry is normally direct. If a weekend is your only option, arrive early, get your ticket first, and use the waiting time for the other two stores.

Pokémon Center SHIBUYA

The Shibuya branch of the official Pokémon store has one feature that makes it different from the others: a life-size animatronic Mewtwo, displayed in a tank at the entrance. It moves, and it's the photo everyone takes. Beyond the Mewtwo, the store carries the standard Pokémon Center range of plush toys, cards, and goods, with a design aesthetic that fits Shibuya's edgier image compared with other branches.

Because the Mewtwo is at the entrance, there can be a small cluster of people around it even when the store itself is quiet. Be patient for your shot and then move on.

Jump Shop

The official store for Weekly Shonen Jump, the magazine behind One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, My Hero Academia, and most of the biggest manga franchises of the last forty years. The stock is character goods, apparel, stationery, and collectibles from across the Jump catalogue. It's the smallest of the three in ambition, but for manga fans it can be the one that produces the best souvenirs, because the range spans so many series.

A strategy for the floor

• Weekdays: Go in any order. Mornings shortly after 10:00 are calmest.
• Weekends and holidays: Go to Nintendo TOKYO first to collect your timed ticket, then visit Pokémon Center and Jump Shop while you wait for your slot.
• Evenings: The 21:00 close means a 19:00 visit is realistic, and it's often quieter than mid-afternoon.

Honest caveats

• It's shopping. These are stores, not museums. The Mewtwo is the only "attraction" in the traditional sense. If you don't intend to buy anything, 30 to 45 minutes covers the floor.
• Stock sells out. Limited items go fast, especially at Nintendo TOKYO. Don't count on finding a specific item.
• Tax-free: Department stores typically handle tax-free purchases for visitors; ask at the store about the procedure.

If you want the afternoon laid out

The 6th floor is only part of a Shibuya day, and the timed-ticket wait is the perfect gap to fill with the rest of the neighborhood.
