Pokemon Center Kyoto

This was a cool place to visit, but we didn’t buy anything. Lots of families buying things for their kids. This is a place worth stopping by. It was kind of hard to find. You go inside the building, up the stairs, and then to an outside walkway to find the entrance.

It's on the second floor!! Incredible Pokemon Center shop located in the middle of Kyoto. The statues of Ho-oh and Lugia are great to see and even a kimono-wearing Pikachu. Lots of goods are available and even limited Kyoto-only vegetable and green tea seller Pikachu plushies.

A must go and perfect place for Pokemon lovers! It has many varieties of Pokemon products and limited edition Pokemon cards. It also has game machines for kids to play as well. It's on the 2nd floor and there's toilet outside the Pokemon Center. Special note: It closes at 8pm

Not too busy on July 4th. They sell everything Pokemon related,from candy to cards to accessories and wearables. Recommend you visit!

Friendly staff and great selection. Store is usually busy. Located on second floor of Suina Muromachi Mall.

Would say worth a visit but should you wish to purchase anything, try to be there half an hour earlier as the queue is generally long! Never knew that many pokemon fans existed till I was there 😱

Extremely crowded on a weekend, but the kids totally enjoyed themselves going through the various types of Pokemon merchandise.

A lot of good pokemon merchandise here! Pretty crowded so try to come at an off time. There a coin press thing you can do too!

This Pokémon center was my fiancé and my absolute favorite one we visited during our Japan trip! I loved all the cute Pokémon plushies and gifts you can buy here, and because of their wide selection we spent more time than we thought we would here. There were some games on one side of the store to get you back into the nostalgia of battling with different Pokémon, and overall service here was super friendly and hospitable. I wound up getting more than I anticipated because they sold everything from plushies to various kinds of candy, stickers, etc. all with your favorite Pokémon characters. It is definitely a tourist-y kind of place so expect things to be a bit inflated in price, but overall it was a great experience and we were able to buy some fun things to take back home for friends & ourselves who all grew up with Pokémon.

I have been to 5 different locations, and I must say - this is my favorite Pokemon Center! They have the best variety and the cooler statues. How can I say no to kimono pikachus? Ho-Oh giving Pikachu a ride is just too cute! And a massive Lugia? So awesome. However - this location definitely had the longest line! I waited about 20-30 minutes in line and it was on a less busy weekday. Staff here are very foreigner-friendly and speak minimal English. Overall, I had a great experience here and this location was easy to find. 2F of Suina Muromachi OUTSIDE.

Pro: lot of pokemon related item, nice staff, clean interior, close to train station, food mall on lower floors. Con: none. I been to the pokemon center mega Tokyo and it was super crowded there so compare to this location it had a more chill atmosphere with less of a crowd. Some corners had plushes, some had cookies and stickers, and another had capsules + a game area to play Pokémon. I already had all my souvenirs bought already at the Pokemon center mega Tokyo so it was nice to just walk around and explore. All in all, I would highly recommend anyone who is a tourist, Pokemon fan, or even a casual to come in and experience the magic of Pokemon xD.

This location isn't too far from one of their subway stops and is located on the second floor of what looks like a shopping building or a hotel. This center has Kyoto exclusives, the most noted is their Pikachu dressed in a kimono. I ended up not getting it because it wouldn't stand on its own (it kept falling forward). The store seemed a little small to me at first, but the more I wandered, the more I realized how many things were packed into this area. Here you can find plushies, dishware, cookies in these really cute tins, gachapon, I think there was an area where you could play Pokemon games, trading cards, baby items, keychains, jewelry, etc. I'm not a huge fan of the next gen Pokemon (I played Red, Yellow and Silver, and watched it on Saturday morning up until Ash won the Orange Island League) so I didn't see many plushies I wanted to buy. Also, their selection of cookies and treats were pretty small in comparison to the one in Yokohama. However, each cookie tin I bought was scrumptious lol. I don't really look at what I'm getting - I just pick one with the tin decor I like most. And I always get something good! Nonetheless, I highly recommend any Pokemon fan to visit! It's worth it!

This is a must see if in Japan. This is your go to for all purchases Pokémon. Lucky enough to see the ones in Tokyo, this one did not disappoint. They have more merchandise than you can possibly imagine. There is also a separate section if you are a gamer and into playing. I loved the variety of stuffed animals they had. Prices are average. Staff is friendly. However, the place can get so jam packed you may find it difficult move around. Overall, I bought my one stuffed jiggly puff. My niece bought a few things and we were out. Overall, cool place to check out if in Japan.

For those who know me, a Japan trip isn't complete without Pokemon! This Pokemon Center has Kyoto exclusive items such as the traditional wedding kimono Pikachu's! Other Pokemon Centers in other cities also have region exclusives too! Hubby and I splurge on them as this is our honeymoon and this would be a nice souvenir for us. Staff members are very friendly and are truly fellow Pokemon lovers. This was such a cute and dangerous place that I spent enough on souvenirs for myself and for family and friends!
