Trading Cards in Asakusa

Japanzon Asakusa Store （ジャパンゾン浅草店） sells trading cards as singles — one card at a time, not only sealed product. If you only want one card, or you are hunting for one particular card, that is what the counter is for.

What you will find

The card shelves cover the main Japanese card games, plus ordinary playing cards.

• Pokemon cards
• One Piece Card Game
• Other trading cards
• Playing cards and card games

Because these are single cards, the stock changes constantly. We cannot promise that a given card is on the shelf today, which is why it is worth asking rather than guessing.

Looking for Pokemon cards in Asakusa, or a One Piece card

Tell the staff which card you are after and they will check what is in stock for you. If you are looking for Pokemon cards in Asakusa, or for a card from the One Piece Card Game while you are in Tokyo, ask at the counter before you start going through the boxes. It is faster, and not everything is out on display.

You can ask in English or in French. On Wednesdays and Sundays, Chinese and Spanish are spoken too.

The shop is a few minutes from Kaminarimon （雷門）, between the temple area and Asakusa Station （浅草駅）, directly opposite Asakusa Public Hall （浅草公会堂）. If you are already walking down Orange Street （オレンジ通り）, you are on the right street.

We also buy trading cards

If you have Pokemon cards, One Piece cards and other series at home that you no longer want, bring them to the counter. A member of staff looks at each item in front of you and tells you a price, and you are paid on the spot. Valuation is free, and coming just to hear a price is welcome — you are never obliged to sell.

We buy over the counter only. We do not collect from your home, we do not buy by post, and we do not give valuations from photographs. Please bring identification. The document you show must carry an address in Japan — a residence card, a driving licence or a My Number card. A passport does not show a current address — Japanese passports issued since February 2020 no longer carry the holder’s details at all — so a passport alone is not enough, whatever its country. The law obliges us to record the seller’s address, so we cannot buy from a visitor passing through. Buying is open to everyone, of course. Sellers under 18 need the consent of a parent or guardian.
