TAMASHII NATIONS STORE TOKYO is Bandai Spirits' flagship for its high-end figure lines, S.H.Figuarts and Chogokin among them, at 1-1 Kanda Hanaokachō, one minute from JR Akihabara's Electric Town exit. Bandai calls it its only flagship store in Japan. It has three zones: new items, a rotating exhibition, and a shop selling store-limited figures plus some regular releases. Tamashii Nations products are for ages 15 and over, and under-15s cannot buy them. I run private anime tours here most weeks, and this is the stop for guests who collect articulated figures.
The Japanese nickname is Tamashii Store, "Soul Store". A second Japanese store, in Osaka, is due to open on 2 December 2026.

What is inside TAMASHII NATIONS STORE TOKYO?
Three zones, from the official floor guide. The New Item zone shows the latest figures and prototypes of made-to-order items. The Event zone hosts themed exhibitions that change regularly. The Shop zone sells figures available only at Tamashii Nations Stores, plus some general retail releases.
| Zone (official floor guide) | What it is |
|---|---|
| NEW ITEM ZONE | Latest releases and prototypes of made-to-order items; refreshed often enough that the store says weekly visits are worthwhile |
| EVENT ZONE | Themed figure exhibitions, changed regularly |
| SHOP ZONE | Store-limited items and some general retail items |
Store-limited items on sale in autumn 2026 include an S.H.Figuarts Trychaser 2000 "Store Limited Edition" and a Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Appendix bronze-cloth object. For the rest of Akihabara's figure shops, new and secondhand, my Akihabara anime tour plans the floors around your series.
What exhibition is on now?
From 24 October 2026 to 11 January 2027, a special exhibition marking the release of the PROPLICA "Lulutto Lilly" (魔法の姉妹ルルットリリィ). The earlier TAMASHII NATIONS LIVE ACTION FIGURE EXPO 2026 (Kamen Rider's 55th anniversary, Ultraman's 60th anniversary and Godzilla) ran from 10 July to 26 October 2026 and has ended. The store gives out a commemorative poster with the current exhibition, limited to one per person aged 15 or over, while stocks last.
| Exhibition (official) | Dates |
|---|---|
| PROPLICA "Lulutto Lilly" release special exhibition | 24 October 2026 – 11 January 2027 |
| TAMASHII NATIONS LIVE ACTION FIGURE EXPO 2026 (ended) | 10 July – 26 October 2026 |
Event-commemorative items for each exhibition are sold online through Premium Bandai, which needs a free membership. On busy days the store may limit entry or hand out numbered tickets.
What rules should you know before buying?
Tamashii Nations products are for 15 and over; under-15s cannot buy them. The store uses face recognition at the till to prevent fraudulent purchases. Store-limited items can sell out temporarily, and some have purchase limits. The store does not answer questions about stock numbers.
- 1Be 15 or older
- 2Expect face recognition at the till
- 3Check limits on store-limited items
- 4Bring a passport for lottery pick-up
This is the honest section. Lottery sales for some general releases are for CLUB TAMASHII MEMBERS and require photo ID at pick-up; for overseas visitors the store recommends a passport.
If you want an older Tamashii figure that is no longer in the shop, secondhand floors are your best chance; where to buy anime figures in Akihabara covers them. From 1 November 2026, if you shop tax-free, you pay the tax at the till and get it back after a customs check at the airport.
How do you get to TAMASHII NATIONS STORE TOKYO?
One minute on foot from JR Akihabara Station's Electric Town exit, two minutes from the Tsukuba Express Akihabara Station, or three minutes from Iwamotochō on the Toei Shinjuku line. The address is 1-1 Kanda Hanaokachō, Chiyoda City.
If you are new to the station, Akihabara Station exits shows which side is which. The store posts new displays on its X account, @tamashii_tnt, and the official site has a business calendar.
