Hopefully, you are interested in cosplay and already know what cosplay is.
This guidebook shows where to buy cosplay costumes and experience cosplay in Tokyo, Japan. Even if you are not interested in cosplay, looking around the shops may be fun for sightseeing. In the shops, you can buy souvenirs like goods of Japanese anime, manga and video games.
There are eleven highly recommended cosplay shops in downtown, Tokyo. Five of them sell new (never used) costumes. Three of them are secondhand shops. One of them is a Japanese school uniform shop. The other two shops are for the rental and actual experience of cosplay.
Actually, there are a lot of costume shops in Tokyo, but unfortunately, the shops often do not have English information or websites, and each shop has a different specialty and system. That’s why this guidebook is focused on giving you useful specific information, and more than 100 pictures of the shops, so that you can select which one to go to, and understand what to buy and how to experience cosplay there.
Before going, it would be a good idea to read the information and look at the pictures in this guidebook, to avoid making mistakes and ensure you have a comfortable experience.
