Pokémon Stand & Card Stand — Tobu Kita-senju Station

Two self-service vending machines at Tobu Kita-senju Station: a Pokémon Stand (ポケモンスタンド), which sells exclusive Pokémon Center merchandise, and a Pokémon Card Stand (ポケモンカードスタンド), which sells Pokémon Trading Card Game products. Neither is a staffed store.

Where: Two machines, both inside the ticket gates: the Pokémon Stand on B1F (south side) and the Pokémon Card Stand on 2F (north side).

Ticket gates: the machines are inside the ticket gates, so you can only reach them from inside the paid area. Only worth it if you're already passing through.

Hours: the machines follow the opening hours of the store or facility they sit in.

What to expect: on the Pokémon Stand, Pikachu pops up on the monitor to greet people walking past, and your purchase comes out in a paper bag made only for these stands. The Card Stand mainly sells booster packs of five random cards — a set of two packs is ¥330 as of December 2024. (The Pokémon Company)

Good to know: the machines aren't pinned individually on Google Maps, so the pin here is 北千住駅 itself. Locations and stock change without notice — check the official list before making a detour.
