The Center of Attention
Obviously, anyone who reads this site would make one of Japan’s Pokémon Centers a definite stop on any tour of the country, but apparently, we’re far from the only ones.
According to TripAdvisor’s list of the top 20 hotspots visitors to the Land of the Rising Sun want to see, the Pokémon Center ranked #3. TripAdvisor even goes a little deeper, saying that Americans are the third most likely nationality to put the center on their top 5 list of places to visit. There are currently five Pokémon Centers throughout Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Yokohama and Sapporo.

Yea id go there if i were in Japan
I’d see why. Pokemon is such a big deal over in Japan, it’d be hard not to see a sign with Charmander on it and not start nostalgiaing. People who’ve grown up with Pokemon still have that little connection with it. Pokemon really was a phenomenon.
OMG! I really want to go to a pokecenter before I die.
I’m happy to see that it ranked that high on the list. I really need to go there before I die.
I will visit it before I turn 50… Even though I’m 14.
That, is the holy shrine that brings all Pokemon fans together.
I would just die if I ever went there.
I’d go there if I was in Japan
I’d definitely put it in the Top 5, no question.
I would go to Pokemon Center in a heartbeat. It’s too bad they had to go and turn the US one into a Nintendo World Store. It also sucks that there are so very few in this world. NINTENDO! MAKE MOAR!
A place where dreams come true.
Japan sucks.
They’re so tiny, and have 5 Pokémon centers.
America is a thousand times bigger than it, and we have zero.
Where’s Americas huh?
