Tamiya’s New Flagship Facility
TAMIYA PLAMODEL FACTORY TOKYO
Opens its doors on Friday, May 24, 2024 in the Shimbashi Toranomon area

Tamiya, Inc. (headquartered in Shizuoka City, Chairman: Shunsaku Tamiya) is proud to announce that the Tamiya Plamodel Factory - Shimbashi store is to relocate to the new Shintora Yasuda Building, conveniently located across the street from the previous store’s site. It will be renamed Tamiya Plamodel Factory Tokyo and given a new look.

With its concept of “Tamiya’s NOW, all under one roof,” Tamiya Plamodel Factory Tokyo will be the place to see the latest plastic and R/C models, Mini 4WD and construction series kits; a venue that offers enriching hands-on “monozukuri” (the joy of making something with your hands) experiences, and a hub that broadcasts modeling culture to the world - truly a flagship facility that can be enjoyed not only by existing Tamiya fans, but also their families and friends and other newcomers to the brand.

■Modern yet nostalgic shop floor
Around 6,000 Tamiya products will be on offer in store. The 4-meter high, 100-meter long product shelves are at once modern yet reminiscent of a classic model shop, and promise the visitor a warm, comfortable experience browsing in model heaven.

■1/1 Scale Mini 4WD Aero Avante on display
The 4.6-meter long, 2.8-meter wide 1/1 scale Aero Avante will be prominently on display at the entrance.

■Events in the Modelers Square
From plastic model exhibitions to events for their moving Mini 4WD and R/C counterparts, modeling workshops, seminars and talk shows, visitors will find plenty of events.

■In-store café
Perfect for a quick break or as a place to meet up, the in-store café space will sell coffee from the trendy Onibus Coffee store, as well as soft drinks.

■Commemorative opening exhibition
On the in-store Gallery Wall, visitors will find a special exhibition on Tamiya’s history, while the Tamiya Showcase will display Tamiya products fresh from the Shizuoka Hobby Show (May 8th to May 12th).
