The two shops at Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo
The Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo features two shops: the Studio Shop and the Railway Shop. You’ll need a ticket to enter either.
Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo Studio Shop
Studio Shop
As soon as you enter Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo, you’ll spot the Studio Shop.
Boasting an overwhelming selection of merchandise, the Studio Shop feels like you’ve wandered into a shop in Hogsmeade Village.
Popular items include house robes, Personalized Wands engraved with your name, and Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo-exclusive goods.
From snacks and plush toys to stationery, the variety will have you thinking, “They have this too?!”
Railway Shop
Railway Shop
This shop is located midway through the exhibit area, at Platform 9¾. Naturally, the theme is the Hogwarts Express.
You’ll find special merchandise inspired by Platform 9¾, including mugs, bags, and pins featuring the Hogwarts Express motif.
Which shop should you visit at Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo
For the best selection, head to the Studio Shop. With a wide lineup of merchandise, you can take your time choosing the perfect items.
If you want to explore the exhibits wearing the same outfits and accessories as the characters, it’s a good idea to shop at the Studio Shop beforehand.
You can also return to the Studio Shop after exiting the exhibit area, so for bulky items or food-related goods, it’s smoother to purchase them all at the end.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for Hogwarts Express-themed merchandise, head to the Railway Shop. You’ll also find exclusive items that are only available here.
Must-have merch at Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo
Hogwarts house robes
One of the first things to buy after entering is a Hogwarts house robe. Available right next to the entrance lobby in the Studio Shop, robes for all four houses — Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw — are in stock.
Robes are available for each Hogwarts house
In addition to robes, you can also purchase ties and scarves featuring each Hogwarts house crest, making it possible to put together a full head-to-toe outfit.
Exploring the Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo while dressed in the costume of your favorite Hogwarts house is a classic way to enjoy the experience. Robes come in a wide range of sizes, and there’s even a free embroidery service to add your name.
There are also changing rooms available inside the facility, so donning your own Hogwarts uniform for commemorative photos is highly recommended.
Customizable wands with name engraving
Be sure to grab a wand at the Studio Shop, ideally to match your robe. The selection ranges from standard to original designs exclusive to Studio Tour Tokyo, with an impressive variety overall.

Wands start at 4,600 JPY (tax included)
Whether robes or wands, these are must-have items if you want to immerse yourself fully in the world of the films.
