Tokyo plan its permanent Pokemon cafe

While themed restaurants are usually temporary affairs in Japan, Tokyo is about to have its first permanent Pokemon diner.

Opening in the Takashimaya department store in Nihonbashi, the cafe will feature food, drinks, and décor that draws on decades of Pokemon anime and videogame aesthetics.

Scheduled to arrive at Takashimaya Nihonbashi at the same time is a Pokemon specialty shop, Pokemon Center Tokyo DX. Like similar Pokemon shops, it will offer exclusive merchandise related to the game character.
