If you’re a fan of the popular franchise ‘Pokemon’ (ポケットモンスター), Tokyo is somewhere you HAVE to visit. The city is FULL of Pokemon themed stores, cafes and MUCH MORE! This list will show you the absolute BEST and MUST GO places in Tokyo for Pokemon lovers!

1. Pokemon Cafe

This new Pokemon cafe, located in Nihonbashi, Is the FIRST permanent Pokemon cafe in Tokyo and was opened in March 14th 2019. The menu is full of super tasty food and there is something for everyone (they even have a veggie burger on offer which is quite rare in Tokyo)! All the food is decorated very cute, it’s almost too cute to eat! Everything about the cafe is pokemon themed, from the food to the decor and even the staff! (If you’re lucky chef Pikachu will come out to say hi!)

To order food you use this tablet which is located on your table. You can change the language of the table to several different languages, making it extremely easy to order and it conveniently avoids any language barriers!

Prices for each dish vary but most dishes are over 1000yen so it is a bit more on the pricey side. But if you’re a pokemon fan and are looking for some cute food and an amazing experience in Tokyo then it’s definitely worth the money!
