Harry Potter Shop Harajuku
🧙 The Wizard’s Official Store in Tokyo
Harry Potter Shop Harajuku is the 1rst Harry Potter shop in Japan that opened on August 14, 2025 in Tokyo’s Harajuku neighborhood. Following London and New York’s shops, it is the third of the franchise and its decor is inspired by Hogwarts’ Forbidden Forest.
Harry Potter Shop Harajuku is an immersive place inaugurated by Tom Felton, the famous actor playing Draco Malfoy in the movies, and the 1rst permanent store in Japan dedicated to the famous wizard. As a matter of fact, Tokyo already had a popup store, the Harry Potter Mahodokoro located in Akasaka district, set up to close in June 2025. However, its actual popularity allowed for the ephemaral shop to reopen on the next July, with a slight change of name as it became Harry Potter Shop Akasaka.
These shops complete the 2 Harry Potter theme parks 🎡 in Japan attracting thousands of visitors each year, namely:
- The Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter located in Nerima in the north-west of the capital and inaugurated in June 2023; and,
- The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened since mid-2014 in Osaka’s Universal Studio Japan.
Directly connected to Meiji-Jingumae station, the Harry Potter Shop Harajuku is easy to reach and spreads over 900sqm.
Immersion in the heart of the Forbidden Forest
Inside, fans of the wizard’s universe discover an ambiance both unique and quite dark, in a blue and green hues. Immersed in the night and surrounded by the trees of the Forbidden Forest, visitors meet the iconic Buckbeak the hippogriff represented in a very realistic life-sized statue.
The shop’s nooks and crannies are home to nestling owls 🦉, and one might notice fairies or even the Golden Snitch hiding in keyholes. Fans will also find photo spots and an exhibition of accessories and film props used in the movies.
Exclusive Harry Potter products in Harajuku
The first floor is supplied with merch of the Hogwarts’ houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, but also exclusive items sold only in Harajuku such as limited edition T-shirts and sweatshirts, as well as teddy bears and mugs branded to the shop.
Customers ride the magical escalator to reach the 2nd floor and its sweet aisles inspired by the Honeydukes shop in Hogsmead, overflowing with Chocolate Frogs and Every Flavor Beans. Staff welcome customers at the Wand Shop to help them find the magical tool best suitable for their personality. Capes, neckties and pullovers are also available to recreate a full wizard costume.
Free access to a Butterbeer bar
Lastly, the shop has the 1rst Butterbeer bar established outside a Harry Potter themed park in Japan. Beside the iconic drink, that can be bought in a bottle too, the bar also sells exclusive snacks such as:
- Butterbeer ice cream; and,
- Bun bread shaped into Buckbeak‘s head and tasting like pizza.
The Harry Potter Shop Harajuku, in the heart of the capital, is likely to become a staple visit for the apprentice wizards’ fans traveling in Japan, all the more as it does not require a themed park admission fee.
