JUMP SHOP in English: You Cannot Buy It Later
JUMP SHOP is the official store for Weekly Shonen Jump, run under licence from Shueisha. There are sixteen in Japan and five in Tokyo — inside Tokyo Dome City, in the basement of Tokyo Station, on the fourth floor of Solamachi under the Skytree, and in the Shibuya and Ikebukuro PARCO buildings. Entry is free, and on most days you walk in, look, and buy or don't.
The part worth planning around is not the price of anything. It is that whatever you decide in the shop is final, because the online store cannot reach you once you have gone home.
You Cannot Buy It Later
Four things are published on the operator's own pages, and together they close the door behind you.
The online store does not ship abroad. It says so twice:
お届けは日本国内のみとなり、海外への発送は行っておりません。Delivery is within Japan only; we do not ship overseas.
You cannot browse it as a guest either. An account is required to use the store at all:
当サイトをご利用いただく場合は、会員登録（無料）が必須となります。To use this site, membership registration (free) is required.
Nothing is held for you. Reservations and holds are refused except on items sold as pre-orders:
ご予約商品以外のご予約やお取り置きは承っておりません。We do not accept reservations or holds except for pre-order items.
And you will not be told when something comes back. There is no restock notification by phone or email; stock simply appears on the product page, and new products are announced on the shop's X account, in Japanese:
ご予約、お取り寄せ、お電話・メールでの入荷等のお知らせはしておりません。We do not offer reservations, special orders, or notification of restocks by phone or email.
So the decision in front of the shelf is the whole decision. If you are weighing whether to carry something home, there is no version of this where you order it from your sofa next month.
There is also no way to check stock across shops before you go. The operator's own answer to whether something is in another branch is to contact that branch:
各店舗のお取り扱い商品につきましては、直接店舗にお問い合わせください。For the products handled at each shop, please contact the shop directly.
That is a phone call, in Japanese, to the shop floor — which is one more reason the decision lands in front of the shelf.
Where the Five Tokyo Shops Are
If that is the shape of it, the next question is which of the five you go to. The operator does publish a list of the 191 series it carries. It is ordered by the Japanese syllabary, so a translation tool will not find your title for you — the ordering is the problem, not the words.
| Shop | Where | Hours | Tax-free |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tokyo Dome City | By the Geopolis entrance | 10:30–19:00 weekdays, 10:00–19:00 weekends and holidays | Yes |
| Tokyo Station | Tokyo Character Street, B1 | 10:00–20:30 | Yes |
| Solamachi | Skytree Town Solamachi, 4F | 10:00–21:00 | No |
| Shibuya | Shibuya PARCO, 6F | 10:00–21:00 | No |
| Ikebukuro | Ikebukuro PARCO, main building B2F | 11:00–21:00 | No |
Hours are the ones on the Japanese shop list, checked 30 August 2026, which notes that they change with the season and at new year. Two of the five are readable in English if you go to the building instead of the shop: Shibuya PARCO's English page gives the floor and the hours, and Tokyo Station's English directory gives floor, hours and a tax-free mark in one line. Ikebukuro PARCO's English page gives the floor and says "Tax exemption: Not applicable", but leaves the hours blank. Solamachi's and Tokyo Dome City's English pages still show the hours and the floor in Japanese.
The Days You Cannot Walk In
On days the operator expects to be busy, entry moves to timed slots applied for in advance, and the announcement is blunt:
入場チケットをお持ちでない方はJUMP SHOPにはご入場いただけませんので、ご来場はご遠慮ください。If you do not have an entry ticket, you cannot enter JUMP SHOP, so please refrain from coming.
Three things follow from that. The application is a free lottery, one slot per person, handled on a ticketing site that is in Japanese. Your ticket is checked against photo ID at the door, originals only, and entry is refused if the name does not match. If slots are left over they open at 9:00 that morning, first come — which is the only route left if you find out on the day.
What We Could Not Find Out
Entry-limit dates. The dates are published as a PDF on the Japanese site. We could not read it — the file's text could not be extracted. We are not able to tell you which days are affected.
Tax-free conditions. No minimum spend, no procedure, no location is published — not in English, and not in Japanese either. The only marking is the label in the table above. There is nothing to read up on before you travel; ask at the till before you queue.
Whether a passport works as ID. The entry ticket is checked against photo ID, and the examples given are Japanese documents. A passport is not listed, and not excluded. We have not confirmed it.
Before You Go
Everything above was checked on 30 August 2026.
The shop list, hours, tax-free labels, the title list and the shipping, membership, hold and restock rules all come from JUMP SHOP's own site and the guide and FAQ pages on the same domain. The entry-limit sentence comes from the operator's entry page and the application pages for the five Tokyo shops. The English shop pages cited are Shibuya PARCO's, Ikebukuro PARCO's, Tokyo Station Ichibangai's, Tokyo Solamachi's and Tokyo Dome City's. All were checked on the same day.
Hours, entry rules and the online store's terms change. Check them against those pages before you go.

- What this is
- All five shops are in Tokyo, and nothing here requires a particular neighbourhood. If you want to be near the one shop whose floor and hours you can read in English, this opens a hotel search for Shibuya, so you can set your own dates. We have not stayed at any of these. We are not recommending a hotel — we are pointing you at the list.
