Visit the paradise for every penguin lover
As a fellow penguin, I had to visit THE shop and let me tell you. It’s amazing. It is the kind of shop where you are like, “shut up and take all my money!” There is the Suica Penguin Store in Tokyo at the Tokyo Station, but this one is much more unique, and the owner is great.
You can find here everything your penguin heart desires. Stepping in for the first time, you will be overwhelmed by all the penguin stuff because this shop has it all. From stuffed animals, retro penguins, books, kitchenware, and more. They have everything. It is indeed a penguin paradise.
Where is the penguin shop in Tokyo located
The shop is located in the Toshima City area, not far from the Sunshine Aquarium. We took the subway and got off at Ōtsuka Station (大塚駅) and waddled from there to the shop.
Address: 北大塚2−26-1, Toshima, Tokyo, Japan
Opening Hours
Opening hours are from 1 pm to 6 pm (Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday) – or they should be. See the website to make sure – link. Watch out for holidays when the opening hours may vary.
We came during the day it was supposed to be opened but mixed up the times, and the shop was closed. However, we contacted the owner via Facebook, who quickly informed us about the opening hours for that particular day. We returned to the shop the same day, and it was magical.
As mentioned, the owner Hiroshi is fantastic. We managed to talk about penguins a little, and he recommended some things worth buying.
Make sure to follow the shop on Facebook to stay informed about the newest penguin stuff that arrived and on Instagram to follow the penguin’s adventures. We highly recommend visiting the shop, even if you are not into penguins as much as we are. It is worth the visit. And say hello to Hiroshi for us!
