What it is
TAMASHII NATIONS STORE TOKYO is Bandai Spirits' directly-run flagship shop for its TAMASHII NATIONS collector-figure brand (S.H.Figuarts, Chogokin, ROBOT Soul, METAL BUILD and more), a 1-minute walk from Akihabara Station's Electric Town Exit. It relocated to this larger site in June 2022, tripling its floor space to roughly 804 sqm, and now displays over 400 figures spanning Gundam, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, Dragon Ball, Evangelion and other franchises across three zones: a Shop Zone for TNT-exclusive and general merchandise, a New Item Zone that rotates weekly, and an Event Zone hosting themed exhibitions.
Good to know
Admission is free and no reservation is needed for regular entry, but a sign at the checkout confirms the store is not a tax-free shop, so factor consumption tax into figure prices. Some limited or numbered exclusive items have required an ID check at purchase to curb resale, so bring your passport if you're chasing a launch-day exclusive.
