Gundam Base Tokyo

A Sprawling 2,000 Square Meter Official Shop Offering Gunpla From Every Era

Located on the 7th floor of the DiverCity Tokyo Plaza commercial facility in Odaiba, THE GUNDAM BASE TOKYO lives up to its designation as an official comprehensive Gunpla facility. Operated by BANDAI SPIRITS Hobby Division—the company responsible for manufacturing and distributing Gunpla—this establishment carries approximately 2,000 varieties of model kits, from the original release in 1980 to the latest editions. A defining characteristic is that virtually all Gunpla sold here are manufactured in Japanese factories, making it not just a retail space but a venue where enthusiasts can experience the evolution of Gunpla craftsmanship throughout its history.

"Painting Room" Where You Can Customize Your Gunpla That You Purchased

Beyond the shopping area, the Builders Zone features an operational "Painting Room"—a rental space (a fee is required) where visitors can paint Gunpla they've purchased. The room offers rental equipment that might be impractical for home use, such as airbrushes and compressors. Visitors can also receive guidance from staff members known as "Gunpla Meisters" and can take photos of their creations using impressive diorama setups. This facility showcases that Gunpla enjoyment extends far beyond mere assembly.

Beyond Gunpla: A Diverse Array of Gundam Merchandise

The product lineup extends well beyond model kits to include everything from plush toys to food items. Particularly popular across all age groups are products featuring Haro, the AI robot that has become an essential character in the Gundam series. Recent bestsellers include acrylic stands featuring Gunpla package artwork and gummies that come with package art cards. This diversity allows visitors to appreciate the appeal of the Gundam series' mobile suits and characters from multiple perspectives, beyond just model building.
