A massive facility called "Anima Tokyo" has opened in Shinjuku, Tokyo, where you can experience Japanese animation, manga, games, and other entertainment content all in one place. This opening is expected to be a new landmark for Japanese culture enthusiasts as well as foreign tourists.

Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, "Anima Tokyo" is approximately 80,000 square feet (7,400 ㎡) in size and is spread over three floors with sections for merchandise sales, food and beverage, and experiences. At the time of opening, it housed over 4,000 related products, and new products and limited edition items will continue to be updated in the future.

A large display is installed at the entrance on the first floor, where major IPs and exhibition trailers are screened. The wall display shelves are designed in a manga style, and manga cut elements are scattered throughout the ceiling and floor, sparking fun and interest for visitors. The Rainbow Tunnel area showcases popular Pokémon cards, captivating fans.

Many famous Japanese animation works such as "Gundam," "Sazae-san," and "Astro Boy" are on display, and the space will also be used for promotions of new movie releases and game launches. In the game experience zone, you can try out PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox games, and more.

A special exhibition themed on "Fullmetal Alchemist" spans 10,000 square feet and features over 300 exhibits and collections. You can also see costumes and props used in the live-action film "Fullmetal Alchemist 2022." The exhibition also includes a themed cafe and commemorative menus, offering fans a rich experience.

The second floor houses a large food court called "Showa Food Street," recreating the atmosphere of the Showa era (1926-1989). This space evokes a retro feel from the 1940s to the 1980s and features seafood taverns, sushi restaurants, Japanese dining, ramen shops, bakeries, Japanese whiskey bars, and more.
