A compact, specialist hobby shop geared toward model-train and diecast collectors.

Look out for:

• N-gauge locomotives and rolling stock in current and past releases.

• Tomica, Tomica Limited, and Tomica Limited Vintage diecast lines.

• Scale items in 1/150 and 1/80 proportions and related accessories.

• Staff knowledge of manufacturers and dealer lists rather than a large showroom.

Best way to experience it:

Go prepared with specific models or series you’re seeking; the official shop site lists offerings and confirms the store’s focus. If you need exact stock or opening hours, contact the shop directly or check manufacturer dealer lists before traveling.

• The shop specializes in model trains and Tomica—not a general toy store.

• Address: 223-1 Ishibashi, Shimotsuke, Tochigi 329-0511.

• Limited floor space—call ahead for rare or bulky items if possible.

• Listings confirm dealer status but public hours may not be consistently posted online.
