Hobby Shops in Other Major Cities in Japan
Version 1.22
Revised on:
By popular demand(?!), I am presenting a list of hobby shops in other major cities,
such as Osaka, Kyoto, Sapporo, and Fukuoka.
The list is compiled based on the information available in the net,
recommendations from my friends,
and information and photos kindly sent to me from users of this shop list.
Thank you very much for those of you who took trouble and made great effort to contribute to us all!
Anyway, here we go...
The following pieces of information are provided for each shop.
- Comment
- Address:
Addresses in this document are written in the Japanese addressing style.
In Japan, the postal address is generally written in the following manner
(there are many exceptions, though...):
<postal code>,
<prefecture (to, dou, fu, ken)>,
<city (shi, ku)>,
<town (machi)>,
<number>
The last, number field may look like either
- <block (chome) number>-<number>-<subnumber>
- <block (chome) number> Chome, <number>-<subnumber>
or
- <number>
There may not be the subnumber in the rural areas.
I may add the building name and floor number at the end of the address line.
- Phone and FAX Numbers
- Open Hours: Many shops are open everyday.
However, new year holidays are NOT listed here.
You had better ask the shop, if you intend to visit Japan around the new year.
- Web Site URL: If the shop has one.
- E-mail address: If any.
Note that the e-mail address is provided in this page as an "image",
rather than a text string,
in order to avoid generating spam messages.
- Access and Nearest Station:
- Map 1: The map provided in the shop's web site.
Note that these maps are often schematic and are probably very difficult
to understand for those who do not understand Japanese.
- Map 2: Towm map(s).
Town maps provided by Google.
- Atlas Reference: the page number in
"Japan Atlas" if applicable.
- Latitude & Longitude: Use these values to locate the shop in your favorite map software.

Very well stocked shop.
Lots of armor kits and many resin and photoetch upgrade sets.
The prices were a bit higher than the deals that can be found in Akihabara
but it is still be far the most extensivly stocked shop in Sapporo that I found.
There is a book store in half of the shop so I expected to find lots of modeling books as well
but was a bit disappointed.
They have some current magazines and books in stock but no back issues.
The staff was very nice too.

This is a small shop a little over one kilometer north from the Chitose eki.
Half of the store is devoted to armor and aircraft and the other to anime,
remote control and airsoft.
Their prices were a bit high,
but they have some nice old kits that I have found hard to find other places
(like the very old 1/48 R/C tanks).
Very nice folks run the shop.
I didn't get their hours.

If you leave the west exit of the train station turn north (right)
and go just over one kilometer.
You will see it on the left near a recyle shop (which also had some models!).
I walked it but others might want to take a taxi since it is a bit of a walk
(especially in the winter).

- Volks
Volks has been in hobby business for a long time,
and has produced many original tools and modeling materials.
In recent years, it concentrated on SciFi models and doll figures.
However, they are now back in scale models!
Note: although Volks has many shops throughout Japan,
the following Osaka and Kyoto shops,
and two shops in Tokyo
are currently the only shops with scale models.

there is a good hobby section in this "electric gadget" shop.

Volks occupies the sixth floor of the Daei department store in Fukuoka.
This is a very well stocked shop with lots of kits which are hard to find outside Japan.
There are lots of armor kits as well as aircraft, ships and sci-fi/fantasy.
They have a full range of tools and paints.
They are not well stocked with aftermarket upgrade sets though they did have
some Kamizukuri paper foliage for dioramas.
I found their prices to be at least as good or better as any place in the Fukuoka/Hakata area.
They have a full range of newest armor kits as well as some older kits at very good prices.

Located in the posh Canal City shopping center,
LAOX is a collection of stores that contains Akiba Style.
This section of the store is extremely well stocked with all of the well known brands of armor,
aircraft, ship, sci-fi, fantasyc you name it.
It also carries a full line of tools, paints and various accessories.
Like most shops in the area though,
it's selection of aftermarket parts is very slim.
The prices are hit and miss.
I found some very good deals on some kits but other newly released kits were priced
at about suggested retail.
The biggest advantage of this shop is that they have a very nice selection of
whatever is out there up to and including very new releases.
If you are in the area it is well worth a visit.
On the floor just above you there is the Ramen Stadium with selections of local ramen recopies
from all over Japan so after working up an appetite deciding on which armor kits to buy
you can enjoy first class ramen!
Neither the shops in LAOX nor the Ramen Stadium take credit cards but not to worry;
there are ATMs in Canal City that take internationally issued cards.

This shop is located in the basement floor of the Tenjin Loft building.
It has a very nice line of AFV kits as well as aircraft, ships and sci-fi kits.
I found this shop to be the best in the area for aftermarket detail-up sets.
Their prices are not outrageous but I did find them to be consistently
at least a few hundred yen more than other shops.
If you find something there you simply must have don't worry, you won't get ripped off.
Just be aware that if you have time in town you may find a better deal at another shop.
The shop is very crowded and narrow so be prepared.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
If you speak Japanese they will chat with you for hours about anything model related.

I really wasn't expecting much when I went into this shop.
I was very surprised at what I found though.
They have a very small model aisle but it's full of older
and even vintage kits are outrageously reasonable prices.
They even have quite a few recent kits sprinkled in at very low prices.
For example; when I visited the Tamiya Type 10 tank kit was a relatively new release.
They had it on the shelf for more than 2000 yen less than the suggested retail price.
Apparently they stock their shelves with overstock
and liquidated inventories from other hobby shops across Japan.
The result is very low prices but you never know what you are going to find.
I stopped in at the shop every few days over a month's time
and each time I visited there was a new drop-dead deal to be had.
In addition to the kits they have a tidy little selection of books and very old model catalogs.
If you want a 1978 Tamiya catalog this is the best place to look.
They also have an amazing selection of vintage toys that are a whole bunch of fun to browse.
I really wish I hadn't thrown away my old Ultra Man toys from the 1960's.

This shop is has probably the most extensive line of kits and supplies of the shops
I visited in the Fukuoka/Hakata area.
It is everything you would expect of a big chain department store.
The AFV section has all the new releases plus lots of oldies but goodies.
They have all the hard to find kits you just don't see on the shelves in US hobby shops.
I was extremely impressed with the wide range of tools and finishing supplies they stocked.
The prices are fair but if you are in town for a while you might find slightly better deals elsewhere.
None of the prices I saw were exorbitant though.
This shop is absolutely worth a visit.
Oh, and they have airplanes, ships, sci-fi etc.
if you are into that sort of thing.

B's Hobby is a nationwide chain store hobby shop
and I've never been disappointed in one from Hokkaido to Kyushu.
Their AFV kit selection at this location is excellent and they consistently have kits on the shelf
that I've only seen available on-line in the US.
The Fukuoka shop had a more limited inventory of aftermarket sets than other B's Hobby shops
I've been to but I was still able to pick up some obscure Pit Road etching parts sets
that I haven't seen available anywhere else, even on line.
They have a nifty selection of tools and finishing products.
They also have airplanes and other stuff if you want to waste your time on those aisles.

This one isn't actually in Fukuoka city but quite a ways away out
in the the beautiful Fukuoka Prefecture countryside.
If your travels take you this far off the beaten path, consider yourself lucky.
This shop is one of those diamonds in the rough that I just happened to stumble upon.
It's a tidy little shop with a nice selection of AFV kits as well as aircraft,
sci-fi and airsoft guns.
I didn't ask, but it seems like a relatively new shop.
It's a family run and the staff treat you like an honored guest.

This is a very nice mom and pop style model shop near the center of Kumamoto.
Their stock of AFV kits is not extensive,
but it is still well worth a visit if you are in town.
I was able to find some nice deals on some older out of production kits.
They also have a nice selection of aircraft and sci-fi kits as well as tools and finishing products.

The best way to get there from the JR Kumamoto Station or downtown
is to take the Kumamoto City Streetcar System to the Suidocho stop.
Cross to the north side of the street and walk east for about 150 meters.
The shop is on the last corner before the river.

This shop has the most extensive line of product that I was able to find in Kumamoto.
It is a tidy little family run business that has been around for 45 years as of 2014.
They have a large selection of AFV kits that will really take you some time to wade through.
They update their stock almost daily and have something new every time I've stopped by.
They have all the newly issued kits as well as out of production golden oldies
that you just can't find anywhere outside of ebay.
Their prices aren't drop deal deals but they are fair prices and you won't get cheated.
They also sell model rail roads, air guns as well as tools, paint and finishing products.

To get there take the Kumamoto City Streetcar System to the Kawahara stop.
From there walk about 1 km northwest to the first traffic light.
Turn left.
Maru S is about 100 meters down this road on your right.
