Description
PARCO is a fashion building with 18 buildings in Japan and overseas. Normally, fashion brands for young people are located inside Parco, but for some reason, the 6th floor of Shibuya Parco is the only place where stores related to anime and games are concentrated.
Nintendo TOKYO sells a wide variety of character goods and holds game experience sessions, so it’s always crowded.
There is also a Pokemon Center and Jump Shop on the 6th floor of Shibuya Parco.

Staying time
Nintendo TOKYO may have limited admission, so we recommend visiting on weekday afternoons when the store is relatively empty. The checkout line is particularly crowded, so the length of your stay will vary greatly depending on whether you shop or not.

Access
Shibuya Station (JR Yamanote Line / JR Saikyo Line / JR Shonan-Shinjuku Line / Keio Inokashira Line / Tokyu Toyoko Line / Tokyu Denentoshi Line / Metro Ginza Line / Metro Hanzomon Line / Metro Fukutoshin Line) is the closest station. It’s not that far from the station, but the area around Shibuya Station is crowded so it takes about 10 to 15 minutes on foot.

Reviews
A paradise of games and manga
Popular stores such as the only Nintendo shop, the Pokemon center and the Jump shop are all gathered. If you like games and manga, there are probably at least two stores on Shibuya PARCO 6F that you’ll want to check out.
Personally, I think it is convenient to visit on the way back from visiting Meiji Shrine.
