All Of Japan
In Tokyo
Well, at least 54 prefectures and cities.
Antenna shops are prefecture and city sponsored shops that sell and show specialty items, food, souvenirs, and provide tourist information.
Antenna shops were first established in Tokyo in the early 1990s as a means for regional governments to promote local goods and products to the capital’s many residents. Antenna shops for Okinawa and Kumamoto were the first to arrive on the scene in 1994, with the current total of prefectural outlets totaling around 54 – with 28 shops dotted about the Ginza/Yurakucho area alone. Some prefectures retain only one location, while a handful of prefectures sell their goods in multiple outlets.
Many antenna shops are located around Yurakucho (centered at the Kotsu Kaikan building) and Ginza.
Interestingly, Yurakucho is also where the Japan Travel Information Center is located.
