One of Tokyo’s best-kept pop-culture secrets lies beneath Tokyo Station. Tokyo Character Street, nestled in the station’s underground shopping area, features shops dedicated to manga, anime, and beloved characters. Here, you can find everything from JUMP SHOP merchandise to Ultraman and Hello Kitty goodies.
JUMP SHOP: A Paradise for Manga Enthusiasts
JUMP SHOP, the official store of Shueisha’s JUMP publications, offers a treasure trove of merchandise for fans. It’s a one-stop shop for official goods featuring your favorite heroes from popular titles like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Eyeshield 21, D. Gray-man, and Dragon Ball.
JUMP, the publisher behind these iconic series, also boasts the creative mind of Akira Toriyama, who made his debut with the cult classic Dr. Slump. Toriyama even designed the JUMP SHOP’s mascot, with variations found on store bags. Weekly Shonen Jump, the magazine that currently publishes Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, and where Dragon Ball first appeared in the early 80s, celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2008.
An Immersive Manga Experience
Before you even enter JUMP SHOP, you’re greeted by eye-catching displays of Death Note and Bleach panels. These, along with other goodies, hint at the manga wonderland that awaits inside. Once you step through the doors, the excitement continues with famous panels from various Shonen Jump titles, a replica of the One Piece ship, and an abundance of merchandise.
Each major title has its dedicated section on the main floor, overflowing with items to entice every fan. For instance, the Bleach section offers teacups, pillows, snacks, squad shirts, necklaces, and soul candies. Meanwhile, the Eyeshield 21 and Prince of Tennis sections feature football and tennis-related items, respectively.
While Shonen Jump primarily targets a young audience, the store attracts a diverse crowd, including boys with their mothers and international visitors who share a passion for shonen manga.
Beyond Tokyo Station, you can find Jump Shops in other cities across Japan, including Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, and Fukuoka.

Ah, for a few years ago Shonen Jump was sold in Sweden with manga like Naruto, One Piece and some more in it.. but I think it stopped publishing it after a year or two 🙁 There isn’t any manga magazines here now that I know, not translated in Swedish, that is.. Before Shonen Jump there was a magazine for girls named Manga Mania. (I miss those magazines ;A;)
The JUMP shop seems huge!
Too bad… If one day you visit Japan, go to JUMP shop, you’ll find your hapiness! 🙂
