With a life-sized Ryu from Street Fighter preparing to spam Hadouken standing outside, Japan’s first Capcom Store is very easy to spot. Located on the sixth floor of the Shibuya Parco shopping complex, the store is filled to the brim with all manner of Capcom related goods.

Inside Tokyo’s Capcom Store

The store is quite small but the walls are stacked with enough exclusive merchandise to satisfy even the most extreme fan. Socks, mugs, figurines, t-shirts, character cookies—the variety of choices is almost overwhelming.
One wall is completely lined with plushies of all Capcom’s characters. These ridiculously cute soft toys range from palm size to pillow size.

Not tempted by an adorable Ryu or Ken? Check out the range of stationery goods for something more practical. Set your desk apart from your stale office coworkers with a Mega Man notebook or feather pen.
Capcom… perfume??
The pièce de résistance of the store has to be the perfume. Yes, perfume. If you’ve been wondering what Dante from Devil May Cry or Phoenix Wright smell like, here’s your answer. The character-based perfume sets even come in Monster Hunter versions, if you prefer a wilder aroma.
Take a peek at more of the exclusive goods at the Capcom Store’s official website.

After shopping you can snap selfies with Ryu, or head over to other dedicated photo spots. In the Monster Hunter section of the store there’s a large Rathalos mural, with a 3D claw for added drama. Armed with the scent of a true monster hunter, wield the over-sized sword and strike a heroic pose to commemorate your visit.
