Tomica Shop Tokyo Station

Tomica cars and Plarail trains that pop out on a 3D screen, digital mini games, and a super-size Plarail diorama out front.

Dozens of character shops in the basement under the station, from Pokémon, Kirby and Ultraman to Tomica and Plarail, Lego and the TV networks' own stores.

Japanese-style rooms, and connecting rooms for up to six with two bathrooms and an inner door you can close at night, a five-minute walk from the station.

Shelves deep in picture books and children's books, with original picture-book artwork always up on the walls.

Minerals, fossils, animal specimens and century-old university furniture from the University of Tokyo's collections, plus a small chamber of curiosities.

Eevee's colorful fruit pancake, the Pika Pika Parfait and other character plates, at tables you can only get with an advance reservation.
