From handcrafted chopsticks to wearable cardboard Godzillas, Skytree Solamachi Mall is a one-stop shop for Japan’s most unique souvenirs.

Tokyo Skytree Town dazzles at dusk as the Skytree glows with colorful lights, surrounded by modern buildings beneath a darkening blue sky.

Shopping at Tokyo Skytree Town: Where to Start

Tokyo Skytree Town Solamachi Mall is the massive shopping and dining center at the base of Tokyo Skytree, with over 300 shops spread across multiple levels. You could easily spend an entire day here—and still not see everything.

Our favorite shops are on the 4th floor of Skytree Town because they offer unique and hard-to-find gifts in the boutique shops.

Quirky and Classic Japanese Souvenirs

One spot that grabbed our attention was ＤＥＭＯＫＡＵ, a lively demonstration-style shop that felt like a cross between TV shopping and a variety show. Staff enthusiastically showcased trending products, some we recognized from Japanese TV, others completely new and delightfully mysterious.

Just steps away, we stumbled upon one of the quirkiest souvenir shops: a store packed with hyper-realistic Japanese food replicas. Ever marveled at the fake food displays outside restaurants in Japan? This is your chance to take a piece of that charm home. You’ll find everything from sushi magnets to fake ramen bowls and dessert parfaits that look almost too real.

These handcrafted food models have a long history in Japan and are now collected as novelty items and fun gifts.

Japanese Candy and Fun DIY Kits

A store display in Tokyo Skytree Town features flat-pack animal and figure cardboard sculpture kits neatly arranged on shelves, with a large assembled cardboard gorilla model sitting on a smaller table to the right.

If you’re shopping for kids or have a sweet tooth, don’t miss the Japanese candy shops. We found matcha chocolates, cute anime-themed candy, and even DIY kits that let you build candy shaped like burgers, sushi, or mini toilets. It felt like stepping into a playful, sugar-fueled wonderland.

For a creative gift that travels well, we also loved the paper model kits. Some are traditional—like temples or shrines—while others are just fun, like wearable cardboard Godzilla masks. They’re lightweight, affordable, and make great conversation pieces.

Fashion and Everyday Finds

There’s also a wide range of fashion shops to explore. You’ll find everything from traditional Japanese loungewear like jinbei and yukata to modern boutiques featuring the latest Tokyo streetwear trends. Even if you’re not in the mood to shop, it’s fun to browse and see what’s trending in Japan right now.

For anime and character lovers, the always-busy Pokémon Center is a must-see. Nearby, there’s a store dedicated to Jump, the iconic comic publisher behind hits like One Piece and Dragon Ball. And just outside the mall, you’ll find our daughter’s favorite: the Ghibli store. It’s filled with adorable Totoro and Spirited Away merchandise, but be prepared for crowds!
