Nintendo TOKYO: Japan's First Official Nintendo Store
Serena OgawaNintendo's first-ever Tokyo flag shop is coming to Shibuya PARCO!
The new Shibuya PARCO is a shopping center in Tokyo's Shibuya district and belongs to the PARCO chain of the same name. The original Shibuya PARCO has existed since 1973, but was rebuilt in 2019 to meet the growing demands of Shibuya visitors.
The concept of the new shopping center is based on five themes: fashion, art & culture, entertainment, food and technology. All aspects should be present on every floor, so that the around 190 different shops merge into a unique shopping experience.
The architectural design of the department store, with its variously sized components and the construction, which is partly reminiscent of a spiral staircase, is intended to be reminiscent of the elevations and streets of Shibuya itself. In addition, due to its efficient CHP system, the building was chosen as a pilot project for sustainable and energy-saving building construction.
This premium comfort theater boasts seating for 636 people. Look out for new performances almost every month, theater shows, traditional Japanese theater, rakugo comedians, musicians, artists, and more will be on stage to perform live for you.
The first official Nintendo store in Japan is located on the 6th floor of Shibuya Parco. With exclusive merchandise for hardcore Nintendo fans, game previews, and even demo gaming experiences, this is one stop that you won’t want to miss.

In some pools inside the restaurant you can catch your own fish with a fishing rod and net and then let the staff know which table it should be brought to. You can watch the fish being prepared in the kitchen and let you know in advance how the fish should be prepared: whether as sashimi, grilled, boiled, deep-fried (with tempura) or as sushi. If you don't manage to catch your own fish, then you can of course order a fish from the menu. However, the price is much lower if you want to have your own catch cooked .
