What this is
This is a limited-time collaboration pop-up selling exclusive Chiikawa × Tokyo Banana products at PLUSTA Gift Nagoya Chuo inside Nagoya Station. Chiikawa is a massively popular Japanese anime and manga franchise created by Nagano, featuring adorable small creatures that have taken Japan by storm since the early 2020s. Tokyo Banana is one of Japan's most iconic souvenir confections, famous for its banana-flavored sponge cakes. The collaboration brings together two beloved brands in a special cookie sandwich format with banana milk-flavored chocolate filling, available for two weeks only.
Who should go
This is a dream stop for Chiikawa fans, anime merchandise collectors, and anyone who loves Japanese character-themed sweets and limited-edition food souvenirs. The tote bag set — limited to just 100 per day — will attract dedicated collectors who arrive early to secure one. Casual visitors passing through Nagoya Station will also enjoy picking up the cookie sandwiches as unique gifts or personal treats. If you're a fan of either brand, don't wait — limited daily quantities mean popular items sell out fast. Arrive at opening time to maximize your chances of getting the tote bag set.
Good to know
PLUSTA Gift Nagoya Chuo is a souvenir and gift shop located within Nagoya Station, making it extremely convenient to visit without a separate trip. The tote bag set is strictly limited to 100 sets per day — these are likely to sell out within the first hour of opening, so arriving early is essential. The 18-piece cookie sandwich box includes an original sticker, while the 8-piece banana pudding cake includes one random sticker featuring Chiikawa, Hachiware, or Usagi — making them popular with collectors. Station gift shops in Japan typically accept both cash and major credit cards, but having cash on hand is always advisable. No ticket is required to enter — simply visit the shop during the event period.
